ZAITUNAY BAY flyjumped leaving the stalls. KING'S COUNTY jumped awkwardly leaving the stalls. VARIMAX was stubborn loading. Assistant Trainer Azzie was advised to re-school this colt prior to his next engagement. Approaching the 400m, ARTIFICIO had to ease momentarily when awkwardly placed on the inside of VARIMAX, which commenced to hang in. Thereafter VARIMAX shifted out away from the crop. Leaving the 400m, ZAITUNAY BAY had to ease when awkwardly placed between KING'S COUNTY and VALADO, which rolled in. Thereafter ETESIAN and KING'S COUNTY were carried out by SKIMINAC, which shifted out sharply and was immediately straightened. Jockey Brown reported that the saddle on JINGLE slipped back in running. PURPLE DIAMOND shifted out away from the crop from the 200m. PURPLE DIAMOND was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: JAY ZEE - speedy cut right hind. Scratched: TIGERLAND - lame right hind.
