B Y

SINGH IS KING, JET AIR, RIKITIKITANA and CAPTAIN'S CAUSEWAY all lost 1 length each. CUTTING EDGE was slow into stride. RABADA and PROSPECT STRIKE were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Jockey Danielson reported that ESCAPE ROUTE was not striding out freely in running. HIGH GAME compounded badly over the final 300 metres. RIKITIKITANA returned post race having cast the right fore shoe. Vet: ESCAPE ROUTE - coughing. HIGH GAME - nothing obvious detected.
