KAHULA and LEAVES OF GRASS (AUS) lost two lengths. EPONA was restless and threw her head down as the start was effected losing two lengths. NGAGA (AUS) repeatedly kicked the back gates, removed, examined by the Veterinary Surgeon and re-loaded. Stable employee Simpkins, acting for Trainer Nel, advised to re-school this filly. NGAGA (AUS) and ROYAL UTOPIA were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ONESIE was cramped and eased shortly after the start. Approaching the 150 metre mark, HIDDEN THOUGHT shifted out slightly. Simultaneously EPONA shifted in slightly. This resulted in LEAVES OF GRASS (AUS) becoming severely cramped between runners and forced to ease, losing position. As a result of this incident the hindquarters of HIDDEN THOUGHT was turned causing this filly to become unbalanced and EPONA becoming cramped and having to ease off the heels of PARABOLA, who was hanging in and had shifted in slightly. Jockey de Melo reported that he felt something amiss with FANTASY LADY and as a result he did not persevere with his ride in the latter stages. Vet: FANTASY LADY - nothing obvious detected. ROYAL UTOPIA - cut into left hind. BEING FABULOUS (AUS) - choked up, fatigued post race. Scratched: FRANKING - injured left fore.
