FABULOUS NOVEMBER shifted out at the start, resulting in EXCITING DREAM being bumped and in turn taken out onto AMAZING KIDS. After this, from a wide barrier, FABULOUS NOVEMBER was shifted across behind runners. FURIOUS PEGASUS and LUCKY BUBBLES bumped at the start. Shortly after the start, KEY WITNESS was momentarily crowded for room between LOVELY DELOVELY and SECRET COMMAND which shifted out after brushing with PEACE N PROSPERITY. In the early stages, HONG KONG CAPTAIN was steadied and shifted across behind runners. Near the 850 Metres, PEACE N PROSPERITY was steadied away from the heels of LOVELY DELOVELY (Y T Cheng) which shifted in when not properly clear. Y T Cheng was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground in future. At the entrance to the Straight, PEACE N PROSPERITY and EXCITING DREAM raced tight. LUCKY BUBBLES was badly held up for clear running until approaching the 200 Metres. Near the 150 Metres, CHARITY GLORY was eased away from the heels of LUCKY BUBBLES which was taken in by LOVELY DELOVELY which shifted in marginally. Passing the 150 Metres, KEY WITNESS was eased to avoid the heels of AMAZING KIDS (R Moore) which shifted in under pressure. R Moore was advised to exercise more care. Throughout the race, EXCITING DREAM travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of EXCITING DREAM immediately following the race including an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse's trachea and also found it to have an entrapped epiglottis with ulceration. AMAZING KIDS and LUCKY BUBBLES were sent for sampling.
