SACRED IBIS (C Zackey), ASSISTED TAKE OFF (N Patel), WALTERTHEPENNILESS (S Veale) and ORCHID STREET (J Samuel) lost one length, respectively. HIGH GREEN (*J Gates) raced clear of the field in the early and middles stages. Thereafter, this gelding tired in the concluding stages. Jockey K de Melo reported that he felt something amiss with GREEK SWORD (34.30 lengths) in the running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. TRUE WORDS (L Hewitson), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer C Spies advised (ML). JUSTFORTHEEPENNY raced with ear muffs (advised 08.07.2020/08h34). SACRED IBIS raced without a tongue tie (advised 03.07.2020/15h21). VET: GREEK SWORD : Not striding out left hind.
