The start of the 2nd Race was delayed due to the previous race delay. ROY'S NOVICE (AUS) and LAST SUMMER lost 1 length. GLIDING HOME lost 4 lengths. TOUGH GIRL was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Dixon was questioned regarding the improved performance of TOUGH GIRL compared to this filly's previous race on the 6th December 2017. He could offer no explanation for the poor performance other than on that occasion this filly may have been unsuited to the rain affected track on that occasion. The future performances of TOUGH GIRL will be monitored by the Stipendiary Board. The saddle on GO THULI GO slipped backwards in the running. Apprentice Ngwane reported LUNGI took no interest in running. TOUGH GIRL was hanging in throughout. In view of the performance of VESPER, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. In view of the Starter's Report concerning GLIDING HOME, the starting stall certificate for this filly has been withdrawn until recertified tractable with a companion. Apprentice Arries, the rider of TOUGH GIRL, no longer claims an apprentice allowance. Vet: VESPER - nothing obvious detected. LUNGI - not striding out left fore.
