INDUSTRIALIST WAY, LUCKY OMENS and AMBASSADORSHIP were slow to begin. From wide barriers, BACKBENCH BLUES, BEST SHOW and WRATH OF FIRE were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 1400 Metres, BACKBENCH BLUES was checked away from the heels of LUCKY OMENS. After the 1400 Metres, FASTER MORE was awkwardly placed close to the heels of MALAYAN PEARL. After being left racing wide and without cover after the 1400 Metres, KEEN TACTICS was allowed to improve its position to settle outside the lead passing the 900 Metres. After the 800 Metres, FASTER MORE was left racing wide and without cover. SUPREME FRESH and IMPERIAL CONCORDE had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. WRATH OF FIRE also had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight and near the 200 Metres was steadied when disappointed for running between MALAYAN PEARL and AMBASSADORSHIP which was taken out by IMPERIAL CONCORDE. Approaching the 200 Metres, SUPREME FRESH was momentarily awkwardly placed inside the heels of CARTOON FAY FAY which got its head on the side and shifted in. Approaching the 100 Metres, LEVEL PLAYER was steadied and lost its rightful running when crowded for room between INDUSTRIALIST WAY which shifted in marginally and CARTOON FAY FAY (K Teetan) which shifted out before being corrected by its rider. K Teetan was severely reprimanded. FASTER MORE, INDUSTRIALIST WAY and SUPREME FRESH were sent for sampling.
