SACRED ARROW (S Mbhele) and ORAKAL (S Cele) were slow into stride. SACRED ARROW (S Mbhele) dislodged his jockey on the way to the start, cantered approximately 500m back to the parade ring, was caught and examined by the course veterinary surgeon, passed fit to race and returned to the start. When questioned regarding the apparent improved performance of SPECTRA FORCE, trainer Mrs M Rix told the Stewards that this geldings two previous runs were its first runs after a rest and had been on soft and yielding going, which in her opinion did not suit this gelding. Jockey S Cele, who rode this gelding in its last run when the going was yielding, was interviewed and told the Stewards that this gelding had raced handy in a fast run race and had not responded to his riding in the straight. A review of this race confirmed that this gelding raced handy, had been tested and had not responded. The future performances of SPECTRA FORCE will be monitored. SPECTRA FORCE, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer M Rix was advised. (TJ) VET: SACRED ARROW - nothing obvious detected READY STEADY GO - respiratory noise SCRATCHED: DORSET NOBLE (AUS) - lame right fore. Rule 53.5 applies (declared 15h11 on 20200727)
