The start of this race was delayed due to the Phumelela track staff not having available the wedges to secure the starting stalls in place and these had to be fetched from the 1000m before the loading process could begin. ENTER THE DRAGON and KELLOHOLM LAD lost 1 length. In view of the performance from BELLA CIAO, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Yeni reported that felt something amiss with MERGER in running. RED CAPE and KELLOHOLM LAD raced green. CAPTAIN'S ALPHA was hanging in from the 300m. VIVA ESPANA was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. RED CAPE is owned by Messrs R T Scott, Gary Alexander, Raven Govender & Ramphelane Mathunyane (colours: Black and White Checks, Black Sleeves, White Cap) (sold with engagements). Vet: BELLA CIAO - not striding out right front. MERGER - epistaxis.
