LA VIDA BANCO, ZILLA and LILLY'S RUSH lost one length. UPPER ECHELON was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. LA VIDA BANCO was pulling hard in the early and middle stages and thereafter was hanging in over the final 300 metres. TOPAZ RAIN and LILLY'S RUSH brushed near the 1800 metre mark, resulting in TOPAZ RAIN becoming unbalanced and LILLY'S RUSH brushing LA VIDA BANCO. LILLY'S RUSH was hanging in, in the final straight. In view of the performances of DELILAH and TOPAZ RAIN, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses. Apprentice Moodley reported AVENTURINE was not striding out freely in the latter stages. Vet: DELILAH and TOPAZ RAIN - nothing obvious detected. AVENTURINE - not striding out left hind and blowing. Scratched: OVERLY IMPRESSED - not eating up.
