FOREVER GLORIOUS shifted out at the start and crowded MANAGEMENT FOLKS. SURREALISM was slow to begin and was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages. From outside barriers, TELECOM CHEETAH and AI ONE were also shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Near the 900 Metres, AI ONE was shifted out to commence a forward move and in doing so bumped KUNGFUMASTER PANDA which was also taken wider. Near the 200 Metres, FLYING SILVER and INCANTO PREPARED bumped due to both runners shifting ground. Passing the 150 Metres, K C Leung (TO INFINITY) momentarily dropped his right rein. When questioned, K Teetan (SURREALISM) stated that his mount was held up making the Home Turn. He added that near the 200 Metres he directed his mount to the outside of BORN THE SAME DAY to secure clear running, however, SURREALISM took some time to respond to his riding and take advantage of the run. He said near the 150 Metres SURREALISM was then crowded for room between MANAGEMENT FOLKS and BORN THE SAME DAY which shifted out and away from TO INFINITY which resulted in SURREALISM having to be steadied near the 75 Metres when the run closed. After the race, MANAGEMENT FOLKS was noted to have sustained lacerations to the left hind fetlock and right hock. A veterinary inspection of FLYING SILVER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MANAGEMENT FOLKS and HAPPY ANGEL were sent for sampling.
