BELLA SONATA, PENNINGTON SANDS and OFF THE MARK lost one length. KILAUEA reared in the stalls. Trainer Nieuwenhuizen was advised to re-school this filly prior to her next engagement. Jockey Marwing reported that SENSIBLE LOVER (AUS) took no interest in running. In view of the performance of SHAAMA (AUS), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. Assistant Trainer de Kock was requested to report back to the Board on the condition of this filly on return to stables. In the concluding stages, PENNINGTON SANDS was awkwardly placed between TAHINI, which rolled in, and POLYPHONIC, which shifted out away from the crop and was immediately straightened. NOTHER RUSSIA was hanging badly and covered significant ground from the 400m to the finish. Assistant Trainer de Kock was advised to take the necessary corrective measures to ensure that this filly stays straight in her races. Approaching the 400m FLYING ICE, SILVER CLASS, SHAAMA (AUS) and BELLA SONATA were carried in by POLYPHONIC, which switched in to continue its run. The Stewards considered that the interference suffered by the affected horses was not significant and accordingly Jockey Strydom was reprimanded and advised to take more care in future. PENNINGTON SANDS cast its right front shoe in running. NOTHER RUSSIA and BELLA SONATA were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: KILAUEA - wound left front fetlock. SENSIBLE LOVER (AUS) - coughing. SHAAMA (AUS) - examined post race, no significant findings. LEISURE TRIP and OFF THE MARK - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: WORK ETHIC - high muscle enzymes.
