During the loading process, the starting stalls opened after a Handler tripped over one of the connecting wires, which released the front gates. This resulted in all of numbers 2 FAVOUR'S PRIDE, 3 DAME ELEANOR, 5 SANTIBURI (AUS), 9 BEING FABULOUS (AUS) and 12 BONNIE VIE jumping from the stalls, they were restrained by their riders, returned to the start, inspected by the Veterinary Surgeon and passed fit to race. The gates were reset and the loading process restarted. This caused a delay to the start of this race. SANTIBURI (AUS) jumped outwards. COMME-CI-COMME-CA was slow losing one length. BABBLING BROOKE and SMILING BLUE EYES were slow into stride. Shortly after the start BEING FABULOUS (AUS) was carried out by DELIGHTFUL DANCER, which was bumped out by SANTIBURI (AUS), who was difficult to restrain when over-racing in the early stages. Thereafter SANTIBURI (AUS) compounded in the straight. BEING FABULOUS (AUS) was hanging out from the 400m. Jockey Lerena reported that BEING FABULOUS (AUS) made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. Jockey Danielson, the rider of COMME-CI-COMME-CA, accidentally dropped his crop at the 250m. Apprentice Murray reported that he felt something amiss with DELIGHTFUL DANCER in running and eased her out of the race from the 400m. An inquiry will be opened to establish why BONNE VIE had to ease leaving the 300m. SMILING BLUE EYES and TAMBALANG were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: FAVOUR'S PRIDE - mouth injury. SANTIBURI (AUS) - blowing heavily post race. DELIGHTFUL DANCER - examined post race, no significant findings. Scratched: MALEFICENT - Stewards permission. Running in a Feature race in Cape Town.
