LAUGH OUT LOUD began only fairly.
Shortly after the start, BOSSIEE and STARSHIP were crowded for room between KINGSTON ONE and BIG BULLY which shifted in when being steadied to obtain cover behind runners. After this, STARSHIP and BOSSIEE were also shifted across behind runners.
Also shortly after the start, THE HAPPY BUNCH and MAJESTIC ENDEAVOUR bumped, causing both horses to become unbalanced.
For some distance after the 1000 Metres, LAUGH OUT LOUD got its head up when awkwardly placed behind TOP ACE and then making the turn near the 900 Metres got its head on the side and lay out towards the heels of WINNING CONTROLLER.
STARSHIP was unable to obtain clear running until near the 250 Metres.
WINNING CONTROLLER was unable to obtain clear running until approaching the 200 Metres. WINNING CONTROLLER was then steadied away from the heels of STARSHIP approaching the 100 Metres.
Approaching the 200 Metres, KINGSTON ONE was eased away from the heels of WINNING CONTROLLER which improved into tight running inside LEISURED FEET.
INVESTOR BOOM was checked away from the heels of MAJESTIC ENDEAVOUR passing the 100 Metres when held up for clear running behind that horse.
Passing the 100 Metres, LAUGH OUT LOUD was held up for clear running behind TOP ACE.
Throughout the race, FORTUNATE RUNNER and MAJESTIC ENDEAVOUR travelled wide and without cover.
A veterinary inspection of LEISURED FEET immediately following the race found that horse to have a swollen left front fetlock.
A veterinary inspection of WINNING CONTROLLER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
TOP ACE, BOSSIEE and VIVA COUNCIL were sent for sampling.
