Shortly after the start, ALL TOGETHER shifted in and bumped the hindquarters of LUCKY SEVEN, resulting in that horse being turned out across the running of ALL TOGETHER which was crowded for room inside HAYMAKER. LUCKY SEVEN then continued to shift out and bumped HAYMAKER which became unbalanced. FAST ROCKET was checked on jumping when crowded for room between KIM GLORY and SPEEDY SANDY which shifted in. From a wide barrier, POWER DRAGON was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Also from a wide barrier, FLYING PROSPERITY got its head up when being steadied in the early stages to obtain a position with cover and near the 950 Metres became unbalanced and dipped. For some distance approaching the 600 Metres, NO MONEY NO TALK proved very difficult to settle and was checked away from the heels of SHOWING CHARACTER. Then passing the 600 Metres, NO MONEY NO TALK shifted out away from the heels of SHOWING CHARACTER and raced tight inside MISTER MARC, resulting in those horses making contact. MISTER MARC was then taken in to a position three wide and without cover due to NO MONEY NO TALK shifting out away from the heels of SHOWING CHARACTER. Near the 650 Metres, LUCKY SEVEN, when racing tight inside HAYMAKER, got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of NO MONEY NO TALK. Making the turn after the 600 Metres, FAST ROCKET got its head on the side and shifted out towards the heels of SPEEDY SANDY. After the 300 Metres, ST YAZIN was shifted in away from the heels of LUCKY SEVEN. Passing the 150 Metres, LUCKY SEVEN was momentarily steadied away from the heels of ST YAZIN (T H So) which shifted out under pressure. T H So was advised to exercise more care when shifting ground in future. Throughout the race, KIM GLORY travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of LUCKY SEVEN and SHOWING CHARACTER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. NO MONEY NO TALK and ST YAZIN were sent for sampling.
