BULLISH GLORY lifted its front feet off the ground as the start was effected and bumped the inside of its barrier stall, resulting in the horse losing ground. STRATHSPEY and THE SYLPH bumped at the start. On a number of occasions in the early and middle stages, THE SYLPH, when travelling wide and without cover, got its head up and proved difficult to settle. After the 1500 Metres, HAY RUN commenced to prove difficult to settle and got its head up when improving between MIDNITE PROMISE and GOLDEN KID where there was insufficient room. This resulted in HAY RUN being steadied after the 1400 Metres. After the 1400 Metres, BULLISH GLORY commenced to prove very difficult to settle and got its head up repeatedly when being checked away from the heels of GARLIC YEAH. At the entrance to the Straight, THE SYLPH was crowded for room between HAPPY ROCKY and STRATHSPEY which, when endeavouring to improve to the outside of HAY RUN, was directed out by that horse which got its head on the side and shifted out before being corrected by its rider. In this incident, HAPPY ROCKY became unbalanced after being bumped by THE SYLPH. At the 250 Metres, PO CHING TREASURE and GOLDEN KID bumped due to both horses shifting ground. After initially being directed in by HAY RUN passing the 100 Metres, GARLIC YEAH then got its head on the side and inconvenienced ROYAL CHOCOLATE. A veterinary inspection of MIDNITE PROMISE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. YOU HAVE MY WORD, GOLDEN KID and STRATHSPEY were sent for sampling.
