NEED TO KNOW (SAF) – (T O’Shea): Slow to begin. Making the turn near the 1200 metres shifted out quickly bumping another runner. Impeded near the 300 metres and again approaching the 200 metres. NOT A GIVEN (USA) – (W Smith): Commenced awkwardly throwing its head. Over-raced in the early stages. Lay outwards approaching the 300 metres.
