Jockey Mariba did not ride at today's racemeeting (medically indisposed - physio treatment). He was replaced on his mounts. Jockey Pretorius did not ride at today's racemeeting (medically indisposed - sinusitis). He was replaced on his mount in Race 4. GALLOWAY and IMPERIAL PAST lost one length. MESS was difficult to load. IMPERIAL PAST over-raced in the early stages. IMPERIAL OUNCE and FEARLESS FRED came together in the concluding stages, and brushed. THE WITNESS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. BONO raced with a tongue tie on. Vet: THE WITNESS - coughing. GALLOWAY - not striding out right front. IMPERIAL PAST - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: ROMI'S BOY - mucus in trachea.
