TRIP TO HEAVEN lost three lengths. ATTENBOROUGH lost one length. WILL PAYS and ATTENBOROUGH were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. BISHOP'S BOUNTY was hanging in over the final 300 metres. Jockey Strydom the rider of BISHOP'S BOUNTY reported that he felt something amiss with this gelding in the closing stages and as a result did not persevere with his ride. Jockey de Melo the rider of SNIPER SHOT reported this gelding took no interest in running. In view of the performance of VISION TO KILL, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this filly. SNIPER SHOT returned post-race having cast the left fore shoe. Vet: BISHOP'S BOUNTY - not striding out. SNIPER SHOT - nothing obvious detected. VISION TO KILL - coughing.
