GOLD MEDALIST was slow, losing 1 length. KING OF SWING jumped outwards. OCEAN SIDE was carried out shortly after the start by KING OF SWING, which jumped out. SPANISH TUNE was bumped at approximately the 1500m by SPACE TORNADO, which was carried in by EGO AMIGO (AUS), which rolled in. SPACE TORNADO was carried leaving the 400m in by SPANISH TUNE, which in turn was carried in by EGO AMIGO (AUS), which was awkwardly placed on the inside of GOLD MEDALIST, which rolled in marginally. EGO AMIGO (AUS) shifted out away from the crop in the concluding stages. Jockey van der Merwe, the rider EGO AMIGO (AUS), placed third, called a race review into this incident and subsequently lodged an objection against the second placed horse, GOLD MEDALIST, on the grounds of interference at approximately the 300m. The Objection Board, after giving regard to the evidence put forward by the respective parties, overruled the objection and refunded Jockey van der Merwe's deposit. GOLD MEDALIST cast its right front shoe in running. HOLY JOE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. KING OF SWING raced equipped with alumites. Vet: OCEAN SIDE - lame right front.
