The start of this Race was delayed due to the delay in the previous race. TANGO MAN was stubborn loading. Trainer de Kock was advised to re-school this gelding prior to its next engagement. ANCHOR (AUS), MARIO LANZA and SMART DEAL lost 1 length. In view of the performance from TANGO MAN, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. At approximately the 1200m TANGO MAN had to steady momentarily when awkwardly placed between MONTY PYTHON and TONGUE TWISTER, which rolled out marginally and was immediately straightened. DANCING REBEL, MONTY PYTHON and PARTY SPIRIT over-raced in the early stages. SPANISH BLADE was hanging in from the 400m. At approximately the 150m, SHORT AND SWEET had to shift out to continue its run. MARIO LANZA shifted out away from the crop in the concluding stages. WAR LEGEND was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ANCHOR (AUS) is a gelding. To be investigated. Vet: TANGO MAN - fatigued.
