HEARTLAND and VOUS ET VAR were slow into stride. Jockey Fourie reported that he felt something amiss with HEARTLAND passing the 800 metre mark. ISPHAN was hanging inward throughout. SOVIET COSMONAUT was hanging inward in the closing stages. OMEGA ONSLAUGHT and EXELERO were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ISPHAN raced with a tongue tie. Vet: HEARTLAND - not striding out in front. SPRING STEEL and SOVIET COSMONAUT - abnormal respiratory noise.
