RIVER TRIP was stubborn loading. RUSHING LARK, TIGER RIDER and LEGAL ACTION were awkwardly placed between THE GOBI, which jumped out, and WISHFUL HEART, which jumped in, shortly after the start. RIVER TRIP and COOL KID came together and brushed shortly after the start. Apprentice Munger reported that TIGER RIDER did not act on the sand surface. Jockey Khumalo reported that he felt something amiss with THE GOBI in running and did not persevere with his ride in the concluding stages. YUKON GOLD was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. TIGER RIDER raced equipped with a tongue tie. Vet: THE GOBI and LEGAL ACTION - coughing. Scratched: ROMAN CARNIVAL - insufficient recovery time. HANG FIRE (ARG) - coughing. FLYING TERN - lame left front.
