TOUR DE FORCE was slow into stride. APOC flyjumped. FATSO was pulling hard in the early stages and eased off the heels of JUSTA JESTA at the 1400 metre mark. Jockey van der Merwe, rider of TANGO CHARLIE, and Jockey Zechner, rider of SLEDGEHAMMER BABY, reported they felt something amiss with their mounts in the running. JUSTA JESTA ducked outwards at the 100 metre mark. SIR BENJAMIN was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: TANGO CHARLIE - short behind. SLEDGEHAMMER BABY - nothing obvious detected. JUSTA JESTA - abnormal respiratory noise.
