CARI reared in the stalls and injured itself. The starting stalls certificate for this filly was withdrawn. MELARADO was restless in the stalls. Trainer Erasmus was advised to re-school this filly prior to its next engagement. FAIRY RING and RED TARA lost 1 length. In view of the Starter's report with regard to CARI, this filly was suspended for a period of 7 days and until such time as it proves tractable loading into the starting stalls. CARI may not be presented for repassing during this period. RED TARA took a number of awkward strides from the 400m. In view of the performance from this filly, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine RED TARA. MELARADO was hanging in from the 300m. DANCING QUEEN and RIPTIDE shifted out away from the crop in the concluding stages. RIVER RAFTING was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. RED TARA raced equipped with cheek pieces. Vet: RED TARA - blowing heavily post race. RIPTIDE - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: CARI - injured in the stalls.
