CARDINAL CALL and CORTADA were slow losing one length and thereafter were slow into stride. NORTHERN CORNER became baulked for a clear run on the inside running rail approaching the 300m and was switched outwards to continue his run. Jockey Bekker, the rider of EASTERN FRONT, dropped his crop at the 150m. Jockey Mxothwa reported that BLAZING REBEL was changing stride continuously in running. Jockey van der Hoven reported that he felt something amiss with EVEN BETTER in running. FIRE WALKER was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. BLAZING REBEL raced fitted with alumites in front and unshod behind. Vet: BLAZING REBEL - returned not striding out behind. EVEN BETTER made a poor recovery.
