The start was delayed while the Veterinary Surgeon had to attend to the boots fitted to OVAR. LE HARVE, which reared in the stalls, jumped awkwardly losing one length. Trainer Snaith will be advised to have this gelding re-schooled before its next engagement. CHENNAI SPICE was slow into stride. In view of the performance from CHENNAI SPICE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the gelding on its return to the unsaddling enclosure and submit a report. OLYMPIAN was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: CHENNAI SPICE - inspected post race and no obvious abnormalities were detected. Scratched: OCEANS TRIP - coughing.
