LIQUID RAINBOW and WESTERN OFFICER lost one length. RAGNAR lost two lengths. GUNPOWDER PLOT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Howells was questioned with regard to the improved performance of GUNPOWDER PLOT. Mr Howells explained that the fitting of blinkers for today's race had, in his opinion, accounted for the improvement shown. He further undertook to race GUNPOWDER PLOT with blinkers in future. The Board noted his explanation. KIKOMAN jumped inwards as the start was effected. Shortly after the start, GOLD SAIL was squeezed out and as a result was forced to ease off the heels of GUNPOWDER PLOT. GUNPOWDER PLOT and WESTERN OFFICER were hanging in, in the latter stages. LIQUID RAINBOW and RAGNAR raced green. KIKOMAN compounded badly in the latter stages. In view of this, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Kennedy reported KURSAAL took no interest in running. In view of the performance of RIVER RAFTER, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this colt. GUNPOWDER PLOT returned post race after cast the right fore shoe. KIKOMAN raced without tongue tie. ROY'S BULLET raced with cheek pieces. Vet: KIKOMAN and KURSAAL - nothing obvious detected. RIVER RAFTER - not striding out left fore. Scratched: MIGHTY HASH - sold without engagement.
