ENSURING and ROMANTIC TOUCH bumped at the start. Shortly after the start, ENSURING shifted in and bumped HARBOUR MASTER. From the outside barrier, PHOTON WILLIE was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. In the early part of the Straight, ENSURING was awkwardly placed close to the heels of STAR MAJESTIC and tight inside ROMANTIC TOUCH when momentarily held up for clear running. When questioned regarding the performance of GOT FLY, J Moreira stated that after obtaining a position in about midfield, his mount was unable to quicken when the pace increased after the 500 Metres. He said whilst GOT FLY was disappointing when unable to improve its position to prevent KING GENKI from shifting out in the Straight, nonetheless he believed that the manner in which the race was run which resulted in the leaders being advantaged provided a legitimate reason for the horse being beaten as, in his opinion, GOT FLY finished off the race only fairly. A veterinary inspection of GOT FLY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of PHOTON WILLIE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GOT FLY, JUN HUO and TWIN DELIGHT were sent for sampling.
