The start of this Race was delayed due to the delay in Race 2. VIKING CASTLE broke open the front gate, which was reset. Trainer Erasmus was advised to re-school this colt prior to its next engagement. DANCE AND DESTROY (AUS) and CHESA were slow into stride. EIGHT STORIES (AUS) lost 2 lengths. Jockey Brown reported VIKING CASTLE did not stride out freely in running. MY ROYAL SALUTE had to be steadied, leaving the 150m, for a number of strides off the heels of KINGKOVSKY, which rolled in slightly. Jockey Danielson reported he felt something amiss with THE BEAR and did not persevere with his riding in the closing stages. AMSTERDAM was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Jockey Strydom sustained an injury to his right forearm whilst being dislodged from HEAVENLY EXPRESS before the start of the 2nd race, and on examination the Course Medical Officer decided that this injury should be treated before he made a decision on whether Jockey Strydom was fit to continue riding for the remainder of the meeting, which meant that Jockey Strydom was substituted by Jockey Simons in this race. AMSTERDAM raced equipped with a tongue tie. Vet: VIKING CASTLE - mouth injury. CHESA - abnormal respiratory noise. THE BEAR - not striding out right front.
