THE STARTER REPORTED: a) GALABIER (A Marcus) was restless in the stalls. b) NORTHERN WARRIOR (S Moodley), KINSKEY'S TUNE (*M H Zuma) and CHAKALAKA GUY (T Godden) were slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED : a) At the 200m, GALABIER (A Marcus) shifted out to continue its run. b) Trainer M Roberts appeared before the Board and was questioned regarding the apparent poor performance of TREE OF KNOWLEDGE (G Wright) on the 18 October 2020.
