ULTIMATE WINNERS was slow to begin. THIS IS GLADIATOR and COUP D’ETAT bumped heavily at the start. From wide barriers, JOLLY SPRING and GLORY SUNSHINE were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Passing the 1100 Metres, THIS IS GLADIATOR was awkwardly placed close to the heels of GOLDEN CHOPSTICKS. Near the 1000 Metres, THIS IS GLADIATOR and TEN FLAMES raced tight. Near the 850 Metres, ULTIMATE WINNERS shifted in and brushed the running rail of its own accord. After the 700 Metres, NEWSWIRE FREE got its head on the side and lay out. Near the 550 Metres, GLORY SUNSHINE was taken wider by TEN FLAMES which got its head on the side and shifted out away from GOLDEN CHOPSTICKS which was shifted out to improve. Throughout the race, THORS BOLT travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of SPITFIRE and COUP D’ETAT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GOLDEN CHOPSTICKS, THORS BOLT, SENSATION and NEWSWIRE FREE were sent for sampling.
