EXCALIVAR was stubborn loading. ROYAL CHIEF was restless in the stalls and jumped slow, losing 4 lengths. The starting stalls certificate for this gelding has been withdrawn until recertified tractable. SUB SHAAWES lost 5 lengths. The starting stalls certificate for this gelding has been withdrawn until recertified tractable. WILD THING had difficulty overcoming its wide draw and raced wide on the bend. In view of the performance from this gelding, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine WILD THING. ISOSHA was hanging in, in the straight. Jockey van Rensburg reported that he felt something amiss with SUB SHAAWES in running. MIND GAMES commenced to give ground from the 400m. Apprentice Zackey, the rider of LISNOBLE, appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol film of the race and warned against the practice of using his crop above shoulder height. LIMBO was hanging in from the 400m. EXCALIVAR was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: WILD THING - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. SUB SHAAWES - coughing. MIND GAMES - not striding out right front. Scratched: DON VITO - insufficient recovery time. APPLE CRUMBLE - coughing.
