TITELIST (S Brown) was slow into stride. DANCING FLAME (C Maujean) was stubborn loading. In view of the performances of GOLD LIGHTNING (L Hewitson) (distance 22,75 lengths, betting 5/1) and MAPUTO (M Yeni) (distance 14,75 lengths, betting 10/7), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses. ELUSIVE JACK (*J R Syster) shifted in away from the crop from the 200m. ELUSIVE JACK (*J R Syster), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Stable Employee H van der Westhuizen (Jnr) advised (LN). When afforded the opportunity to place on record any factors which have accounted for the improved performance of ELUSIVE JACK, Stable Employee H van der Westhuizen (Jnr) explained that the addition of blinkers to this horse's equipment had accounted for the improvement. He has undertaken to race this gelding similarly equipped in future. ELUSIVE JACK was ridden by Apprentice J R Syster who claimed a 2,5kg allowance (declared 3 June 2020 at 09H53).
