DELTA KNIGHT and KNYSNA JET were slow into stride. BRAVE HEART was slow losing one length. In view of the performance of WOLF OF WALLSTREET, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. DELTA KNIGHT and GINGER TOM over-raced in the early stages. MONTY PYTHON was hanging in, in the concluding stages. At approximately the 200m, ARTAX had to steady off the heels of JIKA, which was hanging in from the 300m. The patrol films of this race were reviewed by Apprentice Hewitson, the rider of the 2nd placed horse, ARTAX, in the company of Assistant Trainer Greyling, both of whom elected not to exercise their option to take further action. Jockey Zechner, the rider of JIKA, appeared before the Board, was shown the patrol films of the race and advised to take more care when shifting ground in future. JIKA was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: WOLF OF WALLSTREET - not striding out right hind. JIKA - blowing heavily post race. Scratched: LITTLE MAGICIAN - shin sore.
