VARZEN and SUPREME WINTER were slow away and lost 2 lengths each. Jockey van der Merwe reported that ZETTABYTE took no interest in the running and he did not persevere with his ride from the 400 metre mark. Jockey Zackey reported that he felt something amiss with SUPREME WINTER in the running and he did not persevere with his ride from the 600 metre mark. COPPER TRAIL was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ZETTABYTE raced with a tongue tie. SHOW NO MERCY raced equipped with a full set of alumites. Vet: ZETTABYTE and SUPREME WINTER - checked post race, nothing obvious detected. SILVER BLADE - blood in mouth.
