LOOK ERAS began only fairly. FIONN'S CITY shifted out at the start and bumped AMRITSARIA on two occasions, resulting in that horse being taken out onto the hindquarters of MAMBO ROCK which became unbalanced. Shortly after the start, FIONN'S CITY commenced to hang out and then making the turn after the 900 Metres hung out badly and shifted towards the outside rail, resulting in BEAR CHUM being also taken towards the outside rail. This resulted in FIONN'S CITY and BEAR CHUM taking no active part for the remainder of the race. A veterinary inspection of FIONN'S CITY immediately following the race revealed the horse to have sustained an overreach wound to its left front heel and to be lame in that leg. Before being allowed to race again, FIONN'S CITY will be required to perform satisfactorily in a series of consecutive barrier trials around a bend and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Also making the turn after the 900 Metres, LOOK ERAS got its head on the side and hung out. LOOK ERAS was then steadied to join the main body of the field. In the early stages, ARM RUNDA travelled keenly and got its head up on a number of occasions when proving difficult to settle. In the early part of the Straight, MAMBO ROCK was held up for clear running behind ARM RUNDA. Approaching the 100 Metres, HOLY UNICORN was steadied when briefly crowded for room between AMRITSARIA and LOOK ERAS, both of which shifted slight ground. MAMBO ROCK and ARM RUNDA were sent for sampling.
