SHINING BLADE, COUNTRY SQUIRE and FOURSIXSIXFOUR lost one length. JACKPOT JEWEL reared in the stalls. Apprentice Matsunyane failed to ride the horse SETABLAZE out to the end of the race to the satisfaction of the Stewards thereby prejudicing his chances of obtaining fifth place. Jockey Greyling reported that VERBOZITY choked up in running and did not persevere with his riding in the concluding stages. EPIC DREAM was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. LION KING raced with a tongue tie on. THE RUSSIAN SAILOR raced equipped with alumites in front and unshod behind and raced without pacifiers. COUNTRY SQUIRE, FOURSIXSIXFOUR and SETABLAZE raced equipped with alumites in front and unshod behind. Vet: VERBOZITY - choked up, coughing and fatigued. Scratched: TAKATUL - insufficient recovery time. CAPTAIN'S ALPHA - urticaria. GLOBAL EXPOSURE - insufficient recovery time. PEACE CALL ME - ineligible, winner 31 January 2019.
