SEVEN SOVEREIGNS lost two lengths. VALEGRO and WINTER BLUES were stubborn loading. Trainers Kenny and Goosen were advised to re-school their horses prior to their next engagements. Shortly after the start, WINTER BLUES was bumped by RUNNING FURY, which jumped inwards. Jockey Strydom reported that WINTER BLUES did not stride out freely in running and did not persevere with his riding from the 200m. Apprentice Ngcobo reported that TWOUNDERPAR did not stride out freely in running. HE'S GREAT took a number of awkward strides in the concluding stages. AIRTAXI was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. TWOUNDERPAR raced unshod. FIELD OF SOUND raced without alumites. Vet: TWOUNDERPAR - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. CAPE FLYER - scalped right hind and cut into left hind. WINTER BLUES - not striding out right front. HE'S GREAT - speedy cut left front and left hind. Scratched: CASTLE COOLE - under 12 days suspension. MR FIRE EYES - not striding out right front.
