SURCHARGE was slow into stride. Jockey Danielson reported that PURPLE DIAMOND did not stride out freely in running, and he did not persevere with his riding in the concluding stages. Jockey Delpech reported that YAKEEN (AUS) made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. Assistant Trainer de Kock was requested to report back to the Board on the condition of this colt on return to stables. PIETRO MASCAGNI was hanging out in the concluding stages. In the concluding stages, WONDERWALL was carried in marginally by SIR DAVID BAIRD, which shifted both ways away from the crop. SURCHARGE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. PURPLE DIAMOND raced with a tongue tie on. Vet: PURPLE DIAMOND - coughing. YAKEEN (AUS) - no respiratory noise detected post race. THE TIN MAN - post race distress and abnormal respiratory noise.
