IDEAL SECRET lost two lengths. GYPSY'S ANSWER lost one length. Jockey Murray, the rider of NAAFER (AUS), Jockey Simons, the rider of EIGHT CITIES, and Jockey Khumalo, the rider of WONDERWALL, were charged with a contravention in that they carried advertising material on their breeches during a racemeeting without receiving the approved permission of the Racing Operator. Jockey Murray, Jockey Simons and Jockey Khumalo signed an Admission of Guilt and were fined. ALSSAKHRA was hanging in from the 300m. Leaving the 300m REBEL'S CHAMP had to steady when awkwardly placed between COASTAL TORRENT, which was hanging out, and NAAFER (AUS), which shifted both ways away from the crop. WONDERWALL was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: NAAFER (AUS) and SWEET TRIAL - abnormal respiratory noise. AFTER THE RUNNING OF RACE 2, THE GOING WAS CHANGED FROM GOOD TO SOFT TO SOFT.
