RENDEZVOUS and STEFFI'S GRAFT were slow away and lost 1 length respectively. THE GREEK SOLDIER was nervous in the stalls. DANCING RUGA and DON'T LET ME DOWN were stubborn loading. Jockey Zechner reported SUPREME SWORD made an abnormal respiratory noise in the running. Shortly before the finish, Jockey Yeni, the rider of DANCING RUGA, dropped his right side rein, which he only regained after the finishing line. STEFFI'S GRAFT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: SUPREME SWORD - abnormal respiratory noise. ESTIMET - not striding out in front.
