3 and was disappointing. When questioned regarding the below market expectations of DE LA SOUL, Jockey R. Thompson explained that the gelding travelled comfortably throughout, failed to respond to his riding when placed under pressure in the home straight and was disappointing.

From its wide barrier CANONIZED did not have sufficient pace to take up a forward position and consequently raced midfield. After being placed in the barriers ROWEINER (G. Kliese) broke through, was quickly recaptured, examined by the Club's veterinary surgeon and cleared to take its place in the field. Rounding the first turn LADRETTO (G. Kliese), which was inclined to hang out, had to be steadied when racing tight to the inside of PAYTEEVEE (A. Coome), which was carried in marginally by JUNEE BOY. JUNEE BOY (S.
