VELOCITY VOSSIE was slow into stride. STAR OF BURMA was carried out by PRONGHORN which was bumped outwards by RETURN TO THE SUN, which jumped out shortly after the start. Jockey Lerena reported that he felt something amiss with RETURN TO THE SUN and did not persevere with his riding in the concluding stages. In view of the performance of FAB PAR DEUX, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Trainer Soma was requested to report back on the condition of this gelding on return to stables. SILVER STATE and FIRST SIGN were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. SILVER STATE raced without pacifiers. SUPANOVA raced with a tongue tie. Vet: FAB PAR DEUX - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. RETURN TO THE SUN - not striding out left front.
