COME FAST FAY FAY (K121) when questioned regarding the horse leading rider stated that he was instructed to ensure the horse jumped well as it had a tendency to miss the start at its previous race starts.

He added as a result his mount raced in a more forward position than what had been intended. Trainer confirmed the instructions issued - Race 715.

GRAND PATCH (L293) near the 1000M, when racing keenly, shifted in towards a runner and was steadied.

Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 717.
