WONDEROUS CLIMBER was slow losing three lengths. Trainer Tarry was advised to re-school this gelding prior to its next engagement. Jockey Zechner reported that SAMURAI WARRIOR changed stride continually in running. In view of the performance of TIRZAN, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. EARTH SKY compounded from the 300m. In the concluding stages, ODD ROB which rolled out under pressure and WONDEROUS CLIMBER which was closing the race off strongly and was hanging in, came together and brushed. WONDEROUS CLIMBER and ODD ROB were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. SAMURAI WARRIOR cast its right front shoe in running. Vet: TAMBALANG - fatigued. TIRZAN - not striding out left hind.
