BLAST refused to load. STORMY RIDGE and MESMERIZE were stubborn loading. SAMHAAN (AUS) was stubborn loading, slow away and lost 4 lengths. Permission was granted for SAMHAAN (AUS) to be led to the start with a lead horse. In view of the Starter's report concerning BLAST and this gelding's previous record in the starting stalls, his Starting Stall Certificate is withdrawn, is suspended for a period of 30 days and is to be recertified tractable in the starting stalls prior to racing. VAUCLAIR was hanging in from the 400 metre mark. THE WEST IS WIDE shifted inwards under pressure in the closing stages and carried BLACKMALKIN inwards for several strides. Jockey Khumalo, the rider BLACKMALKIN, placed 3rd, called for a race review into this incident and after reviewing the patrol films, took no further action. Jockey Zechner, the rider of THE WEST IS WIDE, was shown the patrol films of this incident and advised to take more care when shifting ground in future. THE WEST IS WIDE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: UNANNOUNCED (AUS) - short in front, uneven behind. THE WEST IS WIDE - abnormal respiratory noise. OATS - speedy cut left hind anterior fetlock. RESTLESS ROAD - short right hind. Scratched: BLAST - refused to load, withdrawn from the start.
