BRILLIANT MONKEYS was slow to begin. INCREDIBLE ACT began only fairly, then shifted out and bumped the hindquarters of HIGHLAND DRAGON, causing both horses to become unbalanced. From the outside barrier, GIDEON was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Despite being vigorously ridden along in the early stages, JOLLY POSH failed to muster speed and then raced wide and without cover until passing the 600 Metres. Near the 950 Metres, INCREDIBLE ACT was awkwardly placed inside the heels of HIGHLAND DRAGON which was racing tight inside SHADOWFAXE. BRILLIANT MONKEYS shifted out making the turn after the 600 Metres, resulting in ALL TIMES LUCKY being crowded for room inside GIDEON which was also hampered. Near the 450 Metres, GIDEON became unbalanced after being bumped by ALL TIMES LUCKY. Approaching the 100 Metres, GLORY HORSIE was bumped by GIDEON which shifted in to improve into tight running between GLORY HORSIE and YOU ARE THE ONE. Then near the 50 Metres, GIDEON and YOU ARE THE ONE raced tight. Throughout the race, CALL ME ACHIEVER travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of JOLLY POSH, CALL ME ACHIEVER and GLORY HORSIE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GLORY HORSIE, SHADOWFAXE and JOYFUL THE GREAT were sent for sampling.
