The start of this Race was delayed due to a difficulty in the positioning of the two banks of starting stalls at the 1200 metre mark. RONNIE'S CANDY and CELTIC SEA were slow into stride. OUTLANDOS D'AMOUR and MIGHTY HIGH lost one length. MIGHTY HIGH was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. MIGHTY HIGH was baulked momentarily approaching the 300 metre mark. RONNIE'S CANDY was continuously baulked for a clear run along the inside running rail between the 300 and 200 metre marks. VIVIR was hanging in throughout. Jockey Orffer the rider of BEAT IT reported that he felt something amiss with this filly in the closing stages. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. Jockey Khumalo signed an admission of guilt in that whilst riding CELTIC SEA, he used his crop with excessive frequency in the closing stages. Vet: BEAT IT - nothing obvious detected.
