EVERYONE’S CHOICE and POSITIVE ENERGY began awkwardly. Shortly after the start, JUST MISTERE became unbalanced when racing tight between DRAGON CHOICE which shifted in and EVERYONE’S CHOICE which got its head on the side and lay out. After this, EVERYONE’S CHOICE continued to lay out and made the first turn at the 900 Metres awkwardly. Also shortly after the start, COSMO ONE was steadied away from the heels of GOOD SMILE which shifted out. From the outside barrier, TIME WINNER was taken across behind runners shortly after the start. JUST MISTERE was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight and near the 250 Metres was steadied when disappointed for a run between GOOD SMILE and DRAGON CHOICE. JUST MISTERE remained held up until passing the 150 Metres where it was shifted to the inside of DRAGON CHOICE to obtain clear running. Passing the 350 Metres, SHANGHAI PIONEER was steadied when disappointed for running between MIGHT AND VISION which initially shifted in marginally and DRAGON CHOICE which shifted out under pressure. Passing the 300 Metres, MIGHT AND VISION, which was commencing to give ground, was momentarily steadied away from the heels of COSMO ONE which shifted in. VIVA DOLPHIN was unable to obtain clear running until near the 200 Metres. Passing the 100 Metres, JUST MISTERE and GOOD SMILE raced tight. In the Straight, TIME WINNER hung in and proved difficult to ride. Throughout the race, POSITIVE ENERGY travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. Also for the majority of the race, COSMO ONE travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of KOWLOON EAST KING and POSITIVE ENERGY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. KING ON EARTH and JUST MISTERE were sent for sampling.
