POWER TO SUCCEED broke through the front gate, dislodging Apprentice Munger and bolting the course thus delaying the start. The Starting Stall Certificate for this filly has been withdrawn until re-passed tractable with a companion. CAPTAIN'S DIVA was restless in the pens, losing 1 to 2 lengths. Trainer Maroun was advised to re-school this filly prior to her next engagement. MYSTIC EXPRESS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: ZENA'S OWN - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: GO DUTCH - ineligible, merit rating above maximum. Winner, Vaal Racecourse 30 August 2014. ARTIC ROUTE - change of stables. POWER TO SUCCEED - bolted and was withdrawn by the Veterinary Surgeon.
