EXELERO threw his head down as the start was effected losing 3 lengths. TRIP TO HEAVEN lost 4 lengths. RED RAY and NIGHT TRIP were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. LANNER FALCON became cramped for galloping room for a number of strides and unbalanced along the inside running rail at approximately the 1000 metre mark in a tightly bunched field. In view of the performances of TRIPTIQUE, EXELERO and LANNER FALCON, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses. TRIPTIQUE returned post-race having cast the left fore shoe. Vet: TRIP TO HEAVEN and TRIPTIQUE - coughing. EXELERO - not striding out left fore. LANNER FALCON - not striding out right hind and right fore.
