TOWPATH and FLY MINNALOUSHE lost 2 to 3 lengths. Apprentice Ramsamy, the rider of TOWPATH, rode a satisfactory qualifying ride. In view of the performance of WINTER APPROVAL, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. Trainer Pettigrew will be requested to report back to the Stipendiary Board should anything untoward be found with WINTER APPROVAL on return to the stables. Jockey de Melo reported that the saddle on GIRLFRIEND slipped back in running. C'EST CHIQUE shifted both ways away from the crop from the 300 metre mark. DRIFTING DUSK was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. DIRECT THE DANCE raced in the Colours of Mr N D Moloi and Summerhill Stud Syndicate (Nom: Mr M J B Goss): Gold and Black Stripes, Gold Sleeves, Striped Cap Vet: TOWPATH - speedy cut left hind. VIVACIOUS LADY - scalped right hind. WINTER APPROVAL - examined post race, no significant findings.
