MIRACLE RISING was slow into stride. CROWN OF ROSES and ELOQUENCE came together and brushed shortly after the start. NESSPRESSO and CAPTAIN'S DIVA came together and brushed shortly after the start. Jockey Khumalo reported that TAHINI took no interest in running. In view of the performance from ELOQUENCE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. FIRST DANCE (AUS) and ELOQUENCE were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. When questioned regarding the improved performance of FIRST DANCE (AUS), Trainer Peter explained to the Board that the removal of blinkers and the fact that this filly had jumped on terms today had accounted for the improvement. This explanation was noted. Vet: CROWN OF ROSES - abnormal respiratory noise. TAHINI - not striding out left front. ELOQUENCE - examined post race, no significant findings.
