The Medical Officer reported that Jockey de Melo was examined prior to the 1st Race and declared fit to race. Jockey van Rensburg did not ride at tonight's meeting (family responsibility). LAND OF THE GODS, BAYON and BIG THREE all lost 1 length. ROY'S BLITZ lost 2 lengths. MY BOY WILLIE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. THE LION GUARD over-raced in the early and middle stages. Jockey Delpech reported LAND OF THE GODS was not striding out freely in running. Apprentice de Gouveia reported ROY'S BLITZ took no interest in running. MY BOY WILLIE was hanging in over the final 300 metres, shifted in approaching the 150-metre mark. Apprentice Arries, the rider of MY BOY WILLIE, appeared before the Board and was advised to take stronger measures in future to maintain a straight course. Vet: LAND OF THE GODS - nothing obvious detected. ROY'S BLITZ - not striding out both hind.
