ALL GROOMED UP jumped awkwardly leaving the stalls. PHILLYDELPHIA was stubborn loading. JET SAILOR was restless and flyjumped out the stalls. LITTLE MAGICIAN raced green. WELLSPRING was hanging out from the 200m. NAAFER (AUS) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. When questioned regarding the riding instructions of Jockey Agrella on OPTICAL ILLUSION, Trainer Peter explained to the Board that his instructions were to hold this gelding up for as late as possible to sustain a strong finish. The Stipendiary Board, after reviewing the patrol film of the race, was satisfied that Jockey Agrella had ridden to those instructions. MAN THE FORT raced equipped with steel shoes. WELLSPRING raced equipped with alumites. Vet: ALL GROOMED UP and NAAFER (AUS) - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: SINGASWEWIN - Stewards permission (Running in the HSH PRINCESS CHARLENE MAIDEN PLATE on Saturday, 22 April 2017). AMBER FLASH - ineligible, winner Vaal Racecourse 13 April 2017. LASCARI - nasal discharge and coughing. HOWHIGHTHEMOON - viral infection.
