ICE CRUSADE was slow into stride. STAR OF KAZAN and MISS FERRIS lost 2 lengths. BALLYMAINE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. STAR OF KAZAN threw his head down as the start was effected, thereafter stumbled, losing position. AMERICAN SNIPER over-raced in the early and middle stages. ROOT BEER was hanging out badly in the straight despite Jockey Delpech's efforts to maintain a straight course shifted out, carrying a tiring AMERICAN SNIPER outwards at the 300 metre mark. In view of the performance of AMERICAN SNIPER, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. ESCAPE TO PARADISE was not persevered with over the final 300 metres. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. STAR OF KAZAN raced with his tongue tied down. Vet: AMERICAN SNIPER and ESCAPE TO PARADISE - nothing obvious detected.
