SPEED DRAGON – Was slow to begin.

STRICTLY MAGIC – When questioned as to the disappointing performance, jockey J. Felix stated that the gelding travelled well with cover in the early stages but when placed under pressure leaving the 500 metres responded only fairly to his riding and proved disappointing. A post – race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be lame in the off hind. Trainer was advised that the gelding will require a veterinary certificate of clearance before being permitted to start again.

JORDAN – Slow to begin.

On return to scale a protest was lodged by W. D’Avila, rider of JORDAN, against KATTER being declared the winner, alleging interference in the home straight. After taking evidence from the parties concerned and viewing the stewards patrol video, it was established that leaving the 100 metres KATTER shifted out towards JORDAN however did not impede on that horses running therefore the protest was subsequently dismissed and correct weight was declared on the numbers as semaphored.

DANZIG KING – On returning to scale Apprentice reported that on pulling up the gelding felt scratchy in its action. A post – race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities.
