RED JOHN reared as the gates opened. The starting stalls certificate for this gelding has been withdrawn until recertified tractable. PRIVATE GAME was slow into stride. MY TREASURE was hanging in from the 400m. In the concluding stages PRIVATE GAME, which raced close to the inside running rail, was tightened for galloping room on the inside of FLASH PARK, which commenced to give ground badly and shifted in marginally. Work rider F Semela, the rider of FLASH PARK, appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol film of the race and advised to keep his mounts on a straight course in similar circumstances in future. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine FLASH PARK. MAGICALAD was hanging in, in the closing stages. HEAVENLY EXPRESS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: FLASH PARK - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: GOLD BEAR - retired. TIGER ON THE PROWL - insufficient recovery time. JIMMY JIVE - kicked on the point of the left front shoulder.
