LERTASHA (AUS) was stubborn loading. MONEY GRUBBER and ANTARCTIC CALL were slow, losing 1 to 2 lengths. TAARISH (AUS) raced with a tongue tie. ENCHANTED SILK shifted out at approximately the 350 metre mark, carrying out AKII BUA (AUS), which resulted in AKII BUA (AUS) having to ease and switch inwards. Thereafter ENCHANTED SILK shifted in away from the crop in the latter stages. A race review was called by the Stipendiary Board which was followed by an Objection being lodged by Jockey Delpech, the rider of the second placed horse, AKII BUA (AUS), against the winner, ENCHANTED SILK, on the grounds of taking up his running on two occasions in the latter stages of the race. The Objection Board, after having viewed the patrol films of the race and hearing all the evidence were of the opinion that but for the interference, AKII BUA (AUS) would not have finished in front of ENCHANTED SILK and therefore overruled the Objection. The result stands. Jockey Delpech's deposit was refunded. An Inquiry will be held as a result of this report. AMERICAN STORM eased off the heels of CHESALON at the 200 metre mark. Jockey Fourie reported that AMERICAN STORM did not act in the going. Jockey Strydom reported that he felt something amiss with LERTASHA (AUS) and eased this filly out of the race at approximately the 600 metre mark. ENCHANTED SILK and AKII BUA (AUS) were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. The rider of ANTARCTIC CALL raced with Club Colours with the Stewards permission. Vet: LERTASHA (AUS) - coughing. Scratched: POWER LORD - not suited to the going.
