AUTUMN RAIN, HOT CHILLI PEPPER and KEVIN KO KID were slow into stride. MIDNIGHT MESSENGER was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. GREENLIGHT GATSBY over-raced in the early stages. DR HENRY faltered for no apparent reason entering the final straight and thereafter was hanging in. In view of this, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Pagel signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined for a contravention, in that as the rider of DR HENRY, he failed to ride this gelding out to the end of the race thereby prejudicing his chances of obtaining 5th place. MIDNIGHT MESSENGER raced with ear muffs. Vet: DR HENRY and BLUE STREAK - coughing. Scratched: KENTUCKY BOY - retired from racing. CIRENCESTER - no transport. KHETIWE (AUS) - insufficient recovery time.
