LEFT HOOK and SHANE were slow into stride. WAR JEWEL was slow, losing 1 length. SNELLER and ZABARJAD (AUS) over-raced in the early stages. At approximately the 200m DOUBLE WINNER which rolled in, and COUNTRY SQUIRE which rolled out, came together and bumped. Apprentice Matsunyane reported that SETABLAZE did not stride out freely in running. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Lerena reported that PETRONI VINI made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. In view of the performance from AKWAAN (AUS), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this colt. JOHNNY HERO was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. DOUBLE WINNER raced equipped with a tongue tie. WAR JEWEL raced equipped with ear muffs. Vet: SETABLAZE - lame left front. PETRONI VINI - abnormal respiratory noise. EIGHT SECRETS - coughing. AKWAAN (AUS) - examined post-race, nothing obvious detected. Scratched: ARABIAN SNIPER - going on sale.
