ZESTFUL was slow into stride. JOSHUA'S CROWN and RAAEES (AUS) lost one length. DOUBLE CLUTCH was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. KING NEPTUNE was accidentally struck across the muzzle by Jockey Sturgeon, the rider of ROYAL COLOURS, at approximately the 100 metre mark. In view of the performance of KING NEPTUNE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Randolph reported that ZESTFUL took no interest in running. Vet: KING NEPTUNE - not striding out left hind. ZESTFUL - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: PENHALIGON, AUCTION KING, INNATE QUALITY and FORESTRY LAW - change of surface. The start of this Race was delayed due to AFRICAN DREAM being stubborn and difficult to load.
