SOME SONG lost one length. Shortly after the start, GIMME HOPE JOHANNA, VIRGINIA MOON and SWEET JULIET were awkwardly placed between SILVER DUCHESS which jumped in and MOGGIE BROWN which jumped out. ELUSIVE STRIKE cast its left front shoe. At approximately the 150m, ESPLORATORE had to steady to avoid running onto the heels of MOGGIE BROWN which was hanging out. Apprentice Matsunyane rode a satisfactory qualifying ride. Jockey Yeni reported that VIRGINIA MOON did not stride out freely in running. ANCIENT SPIRIT (AUS) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ESPLORATORE raced equipped with alumites in front and unshod behind. Vet: VIRGINIA MOON - not striding out left front. LAST CHIRP - mouth injury. SWEET JULIET - speedy cut right front. Scratched: KITTY PRYDE off feed.
