THE STARTER REPORTED: a) MUSTANG HIGHWAY and TARANAKI NOMAD (NZ) were slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED (JN) : a) All horses selected for TCO2 were within the required levels after DANNY ATLAS passed following a second test. b) A M C ZARA, which proved difficult to settle in the early stages, raced green and hung out throughout, was steadied on two occasions to avoid running onto the heels of TRIP TO MAVERICK'S on the turn. c) WHISKY SOUL, which raced green, shifted out sharply away from the heels of TARANAKI NOMAD (NZ) which rolled out at the 1000m. As a consequence, WHISKY SOUL raced wide and without cover around the turn and into the straight. The Veterinarian was requested to examine WHISKY SOUL. d) MUSTANG HIGHWAY raced green. e) At the 350m LE CONCIERGE and NAUTICAL FIRE came together and brushed on two occasions. f) NAUTICAL FIRE, the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer D W Moore was advised (DZ). JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES : a) Jockey A Mgudlwa was the rider of TARANAKI NOMAD (NZ) (advised at 16h24).
