JUST AN AFFAIR and WHO DARES were slow into stride. DOMINICO lost one length. In view of the performance of LAINSBERG BLUE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this colt. Jockey Zechner reported that DOMINICO did not stride out freely in running. JUST AN AFFAIR shifted out away from the crop from the 300m. OPTICAL ILLUSION was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. MAN THE FORT raced equipped with steel shoes. WELLSPRING raced equipped with alumites. Vet: LAINSBERG BLUE - abrasions of left hind hip from stalls. DOMINICO - examined post race, no significant findings.
