ROYAL TRIP lost 1 length. Jockey Khumalo reported that he felt something amiss with JADE VINE in running. Jockey Chambers reported that TOMORROW'S MISS did not stride out freely in running and he did not persevere with his riding from the 300m. Jockey Sturgeon reported that he felt something amiss with MYSTIC EXPRESS in running. Jockey Herholdt reported that he felt something amiss with QAWAASEM (AUS) in running and he did not persevere with his riding from the 150m. SILENT FORCE raced tightly between BANG SUE and JULIE DOOLITTLE for a number of strides shortly after the start. An Admission of Guilt was issued to Jockey Mariba for a contravention in that he rode the horse BANG SUE in an unprofessional manner by dropping his crop at the 250m. Jockey Byleveld reported that ROYAL TRIP resented the kickback in the early stages and as a result he took her out of the racing line and raced wide on the bend and into the straight. ROYAL TRIP was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. When questioned regarding the improved performance of ROYAL TRIP, Trainer Ferreira told the Stewards that this filly performs better on the sand surface and he gave the undertaking that he would restrict ROYAL TRIP to sand races in future. This explanation was noted. JULIE DOOLITTLE raced equipped with a tongue tie. Vet: JADE VINE - not striding out right front; cut into right front; purulent nasal discharge. TOMORROW'S MISS - not striding out right front; speedy cut right hind. MYSTIC EXPRESS and QAWAASEM (AUS) - not striding out right front. Scratched: MOHAVE PRINCESS (AUS) - abnormal temperature. LUCKY HAND - no valid starting stalls certificate.
