DANCE AND DESTROY (AUS) was stubborn loading. Assistant Trainer Woodruff was advised to re-school this gelding prior to its next engagement. WINGING WAYS was slow into stride. BALLI MIRACLE (AUS) was difficult to settle in the early stages. VICTORIOUS ROYAL was difficult to settle in the early and middle stages. CEDAR WOOD was difficult to settle in the early stages and was baulked for a clear run between the 350m and 300m. Jockey Lerena reported that he felt something amiss with DANCE AND DESTROY (AUS) in running. In view of the performance of BATTLE BORN, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this colt. Jockey Yeni reported that THE BELLMAN took no interest in running and he did not persevere with his riding from the 300m. DIESEL JET was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. AZA ARROW raced without a tongue tie. Vet: DANCE AND DESTROY (AUS) - speedy cut right hind, severe. WINGING WAYS - coughing. BATTLE BORN - overreach right front and coughing. THE BELLMAN - examined post race, nothing obvious detected.
