MANA SANTANA, THE SOLUTION, STUNNING GUEST and DARK FATE all lost 1 length. SOVEREIGN SPIRIT and OPENSEA were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. KAIKINSKY over-raced in the early and middle stages. ASTRAL FLIGHT raced wide in the early stages and raced to the front of the field at approximately the 900-meter mark. ASTRAL FLIGHT was hanging out in the straight and shifted out in the closing stages. Jockey Marcus the rider of ASTRAL FLIGHT accidentally dropped his crop at approximately the 300-meter mark. THE SOLUTION was baulked for a number of strides at approximately the 350-meter mark. In view of the performance of MANA SANTANA the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Brown the rider of KAIKINSKY reported that he felt something amiss with this gelding in running. Jockey Fourie used his crop more than 12 times in this race. Vet: MANA SANTANA - nothing obvious detected. KAIKINSKY - coughing. Scratched: THE KID - not eating up.
