MUSTANG SONNY and WAVE RAIDER were slow into stride. SEATTLE LIGHT and MAJIX lost one length. DUKES DRIFT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Rich was questioned with regard to the improved performance of DUKE DRIFT compared to this gelding's previous performance. Trainer Rich could offer no suitable explanation and his attention was drawn to the rules pertaining to in and out running of horses. COLONEL BLING and FORCEFUL RUSH were hanging in over the final 300 metres. WHALE TRAIL was hanging in, in the straight. FORCEFUL RUSH raced green. SEATTLE WOLF was baulked between the 400 and 300 metre marks. In view of the performance of OCEAN CROSSING, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Lembethe reported that BACCA LAUREATE took no interest in running in the latter stages. DUKES DRIFT returned post race having cast the right hind shoe. Vet: OCEAN CROSSING - fatigued. BACCA LAUREATE - blowing. Scratched: THE DEACON - sold without engagement. SILVER GREEN - eliminated.
