RUSSIAN SPEED was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Howells was questioned with regard to the improved performance of RUSSIAN SPEED compared to this gelding's previous performance on the 20th May 2017. He explained that this gelding was pulling hard in the early stages and was difficult to restrain from a wide draw, which had resulted in him compounding in the latter stages. Mr Howell's explanation was noted. QUEEN'S CREST was pulling hard in the early stages, difficult to restrain. Jockey Khumalo reported ASTROMAN was making an abnormal respiratory noise in running. In view of the performance of THE MONEY MAN, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Vet: ASTROMAN - not striding out right fore. THE MONEY MAN - coughing.
