MOON SHOT was restless and reared in the stalls, lost two lengths CAPRIVI STRIP rushed the front gates prior to the start. CRIME VICTIM stood, losing three lengths. CRIME VICTIM was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. MOON SHOT was restless in the starting stalls and reared, which resulted in the handlers being slow to release this gelding as the start was effected. This resulted in MOON SHOT losing, two lengths. The Board declared MOON SHOT as a runner as he had finished in fourth position in this Race. MR ROYAL (AUS) and DISCOURSE over-raced in the early stages. DISCOURSE jumped outwards at the start and as a result was steadied. In view of the performance of TERRACOTTA SOLDIER, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey de Melo reported that he felt something amiss with THE BIG LEAGUE in the latter stages and as a result did not persevere with his ride. Apprentice Murray reported that BATTLE HAMMER faltered shortly before the finish. Vet: TERRACOTTA SOLDIER, THE BIG LEAGUE and BATTLE HAMMER - nothing obvious detected. CAPRIVI STRIP - head injury. Scratched: PIMPERNEL (NZ) - not eating up.
