From barrier 13, FULL SPIRIT was taken across behind runners shortly after the start. In the early stages, NEEDLES AND THREAD travelled wide and near the 1000 Metres was allowed to stride forward into a position closer to the rail. After the 800 Metres, NORTH HILL was left racing wide and without cover. At the 400 Metres, after obtaining a run between EUPHEMISM and NEEDLES AND THREAD, DANZULU became unbalanced when crowded for room by NEEDLES AND THREAD which, when commencing to give ground, got its head on the side and shifted in marginally. LEGEND EXPRESS had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. For some distance approaching and passing the 200 Metres, HO HO LIFE was badly held up for clear running inside DANZULU and behind EUPHEMISM which was giving ground. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that ROYAL PUMPKIN had sustained a minor wound to the left hind fetlock. ATHENIUM and ENDLESS LUCK were sent for sampling.
