SPORTTORIO, which was restless in the stalls, broke through the front gate and was immediately restrained, returned to the start and reloaded. CUVEE BRUT jumped awkwardly, losing one length and thereafter was slow into stride. IN THE KNOW and GUEST OF HONOUR were slow into stride. In view of the performances from HOW VAR and VICTORIA MONTANA, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these fillies and submit a report. CUVEE BRUT had to steady shortly after the start to avoid the heels of CHOCCYWOCCYDOODAH, which jumped inwards and had a tendency to hang in around the bend. A tiring YALLA HABIBTI raced in restricted galloping room approaching the 250m between CUVEE BRUT and SISTER ACT. IN THE KNOW had to steady at the 200m to avoid the heels of SISTER ACT, which shifted inwards away from CUVEE BRUT, which shifted in away from the crop. SISTER ACT was carried outwards in the concluding stages by GUEST OF HONOUR, which was switched out to continue its run. Jockey van Niekerk, the rider of GUEST OF HONOUR, appeared before the Board regarding this incident and was advised to ensure he is clear of other runners before shifting ground in future. CUVEE BRUT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: HOW VAR and VICTORIA MONTANA - inspected post race and no obvious abnormalities were detected. HILARIA - returned with her tongue over the bit.
