DO IT AGAIN, which was reluctant to load causing a delay, was fractious in the stalls, jumped awkwardly losing one length. NORDIC CHANT was squeezed shortly after the start. In view of the report from the Starter concerning DO IT AGAIN, Trainer Snaith will be advised that this geldings starting stall certificate has been withdrawn. SNIPER SHOT, which raced wide on the bend, Jockey Zackey reported that he felt something amiss with the colt in running. BROADWAY TRIP pulled hard in the early stages. DO IT AGAIN was held up on the heels of ROCKET COUNTDOWN between the 200m and 100m. Leaving the 150m, UNDERCOVER AGENT shifted inwards slightly and brushed WOLJAYRINE in, which resulted in a tiring STEEL ROSE having to steady. Jockey Orffer appeared before the Board and was advised to take stronger measures to keep his mount on a straight course in future. WHITE RIVER had to be straightened when it attempted to bite the hindquarters of ROCKET COUNTDOWN at about the 50m. Trainer Crawford's attention was drawn to this incident. ROCKET COUNTDOWN was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. WHITE RIVER raced fitted with ear muffs. Vet: SNIPER SHOT - returned making an abnormal respiratory noise and had blood in its mouth.
