The start of this race was delayed due to CIAO-CIAO pulling its left front shoe and having to be attended to by the Farrier. REBEL FLAME, HOLY SMOKEY and CLUB FLAG were slow, losing 1 to 2 lengths. NUGGETS was pulling hard in the early stages. HOLY SMOKEY became cramped for galloping room between the 250 metre mark and the 150 metre mark. PRINCE OF DARKNESS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: URGENT FURY - abnormal respiratory noise. LONDON DIPPER - uncomfortable behind. Scratched: AARON'S ELEMENT - coughing.
