THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) All horses selected for TCO2 were within the required levels, and no retests were recorded. b) At approximately the 1400m, PERIODIC TABLE was steadied momentarily when tightened for galloping room between HIGHWAY CODE and TWELFTH OF NEVER, which rolled in marginally. c) MISSION TO MARS (IRE) shifted in away from the crop in the concluding stages. d) Jockey G Lerena reported that TWELFTH OF NEVER tired badly from the 300m. In view of this report, the Veterinarian was requested to examine. e) BRAVE WAAM, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Assistant Trainer M Peter, acting on behalf of Trainer A P Peter, was advised (MS). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. LATE RACE CARD CHANGE: a) HIGHWAY CODE is a gelding (gelded 22 April 2026). Incorrectly carded. THE VETERINARIAN REPORTED: a) TWELFTH OF NEVER not striding out right hind. SCRATCHED: a) BEACH WALKER not striding out (NHA / 13H07) (Rule 53.5 applies) Betting 33/10.
