DOUBLE VISION and WARRIOR POET were both difficult to load. Trainer Howells and Assistant Trainer Ferrie were advised to re-school their respective runners. ZELENSKY and UNBELIEVABLE were slow into stride. OLERAI and DOM SEGUIDOR lost 1 length. WARRIOR POET was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Assistant Trainer Ferrie was questioned regarding the improved performance of WARRIOR POET was compared to this gelding's previous runs. He stated that this gelding had been disappointing in his previous runs and as a result they had fitted blinkers today in the hope that he would reproduce the good work he has shown in training. In his opinion this had accounted for the improved performance. Mr Ferrie has undertaken to race WARRIOR POET in blinkers in the immediate future. MASTER RUNNER was over-racing in the early and middle stages and as a result was forced to switch out off the heels of ECCELLERATE at approximately the 900-metre mark. SWEET REFRAIN was hanging in, in the straight. ECCELLERATE over-raced in the early and middle stages. Apprentice Habib reported that ECCELLERATE was not striding out freely in running. Jockey Winnaar, the rider of ZELENSKY, and Jockey Kennedy, the rider of MOMO, reported their respective mounts took no interest in running. Vet: ECCELLERATE - not striding out right fore. OLERAI - coughing. ZELENSKY and MOMO - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: CARLIN - jarred right fore.
