SERGEANT TITANIUM shifted in at the start, hampering SUPREME PROFIT. GOOD FIT was slow to begin. From a wide barrier, WINNAM was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Passing the 400 Metres, GRAND CHAMPION was held up for clear running behind AMAZING ALWAYS. WINNAM was badly held up for clear running from rounding the Home Turn until passing the 200 Metres at which point the horse was shifted out away from the heels of ASCENSION which, after initially being taken in by SUPREME PROFIT (M Demuro), then shifted in away from that horse of its own accord. M Demuro was advised to exercise more care. Near the 300 Metres, YOU KNOW I WIN was momentarily steadied away from the heels of SEMPITERNAL (C K Tong) which shifted in. C K Tong was advised to exercise more care. For some distance passing the 250 Metres, SERGEANT TITANIUM was steadied when disappointed for running between SEMPITERNAL and HAPPY MOMENTS (N Callan) which shifted out. N Callan was advised to exercise more care. Throughout the race, HAPPY MOMENTS and GLORIOUS AVENUE travelled wide and without cover. The performance of EN CIVIL, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, EN CIVIL will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of HAPPY CENTENARY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SUPREME PROFIT and SEMPITERNAL were sent for sampling.
