GIMME EXPRESS was slow into stride. ROYAL SPLURGE (T Gould) overraced in the early stages. Jockey S Naidoo (SURFIN' AFRICA) accidentally dropped his crop at the 200m. Approaching the 200m, GIMME EXPRESS (K Steyn) was bumped by PADDY'S LEGACY (K Minnie), which shifted out to avoid running onto the heels of SURFIN' AFRICA (S Naidoo). Thereafter, in the concluding stages, PADDY'S LEGACY had to steady when tightened for galloping room between SURFIN' AFRICA and GIMME EXPRESS. The winner MOUNT EVEREST was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis, Trainer M L Turner advised (LM). PURE QUALITY raced equipped with a tongue tie (08:26 - 06/07/2020). GEOFFREY PALACE raced equipped with blinkers (08:19 - 06/07/2020). VET: UP EARLY and GEOFFREY PALACE coughed post-race. ROYAL SPLURGE not striding out right fore.
