QUEEN'S PLAIN and EDGE OF THE SUN were slow into stride. LINEKER (AUS) lost three lengths and thereafter was slow into stride. SUNSET EYES was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. EDGE OF THE SUN was hanging in over the final 800 metres. HARD TO PLAY shifted in slightly near the 500 metre mark resulting in SNIPER SHOT being inconvenienced. Thereafter EDGE OF THE SUN shifted in away from the crop and was corrected, resulting in HIGHWAY EXPLORER (AUS) being cramped and eased, and RYKER being carried in slightly brushing VARALLO on several occasions. Apprentice Ngwane reported EDGE OF THE SUN did not act in the prevailing good to soft underfoot track conditions. LINEKER (AUS) and QUEEN'S PLAIN raced with ear muffs. Vet: QUEEN'S PLAIN - not striding out right hind. EDGE OF THE SUN - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: CUVARA - sprained left fore joint.
