PRINCESS MAGGIE lost one length. SAVANNAH JADE stumbled shortly after the start. Jockey Herholdt reported that he felt something amiss with QUEEN OF ARTS in running and did not persevere with his riding in the straight. MONARCH AIR was badly unbalanced at approximately the 500m, when she clipped the heels of VARIETY SPIRIT, which shifted out to avoid the heels of CLASS QUEEN, which rolled out marginally. The Board, after reviewing this incident, was of the opinion that a suitable sanction was to show Jockey Simons the patrol film of the race and advise him to take more care when shifting ground in future. BAY OF THUNDER and MONARCH AIR were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. QUEEN OF ARTS raced without cheek pieces. VARIETY SPIRIT raced with a tongue tie on. Vet: QUEEN OF ARTS - not striding out right front. VARIETY SPIRIT - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: BLAZING BERRY - abnormal temperature and coughing. BANKING APRIL - abnormal temperature. GIRL ON THE RUN - coughing
