JEAN'S SONG cast the left fore shoe on the way to the start, which the farrier replaced. ZANADU was slow into stride. SHARP PEG was hanging out in the latter stages. In view of the performance from WATERBABY, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the filly on her return to the unsaddling enclosure and submit a report. When questioned regarding MISTICO'S SECRET improved performance today compared to her previous form on 18 January 2017 and 18 March 2017, Trainer van Reenen, who acted on behalf of Trainers Burger/van Reenen, explained that in his opinion the Blinkers had benefitted this filly in the latter stages of the race. After reviewing both her previous races with the Stewards, which appeared to confirm that the filly had shown pace but had not finished off her races. In view of this explanation and after reviewing the videos, the Stewards were satisfied that the filly had been ridden and raced on merit and instructed Trainer van Reenen to race this filly fitted with Blinkers and her future performances will be monitored. MISTICO'S SECRET and SHARP PEG were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: WATERBABY - inspected post race and no obvious abnormalities were detected.
