ENEMY ACTION and GEORGIE BOY were slow into stride. ETON lost one length. PUTCHINI lost four lengths and thereafter jumped outwards. ELUSIVE WOLF was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Apprentice Mjoka, the rider of STRIKE GOLD, had a satisfactory qualifying ride. BOLD STRATEGY was hanging out on the bend. POWDER KEG was hanging in, in the straight. JABUTICABA took an awkward stride and changed legs approaching the 150 metre mark. Jockey Ramlugaan, the rider of BOLD STRATEGY, appeared before the Board with regard to his crop use in the straight. STRIKE GOLD raced with steel shoes in front and unshod behind. Vet: HEARTS 'R PUMPING and PUTCHINI - coughing.
