Whilst in the saddling stalls, VICTORY MUSIC had its left hind plate refitted. VICTORY MUSIC was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. HEARTS KEEPER began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped BOND ELEGANCE. GREAT SKY shifted out at the start and bumped VICTORY MUSIC which became unbalanced. Shortly after the start, BOLSHOI BALLET and RADIANT STEED bumped. From the outside barrier, HELLO KIMBERLEY was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners to obtain cover. Approaching the 900 Metres, VICTORY MUSIC got its head on the side, shifted out and raced tight inside HURRICANE KID. After this, VICTORY MUSIC travelled keenly and making the first turn near the 700 Metres lay out, resulting in HURRICANE KID being inconvenienced. BOLSHOI BALLET lay out rounding the Home Turn. Shortly after entering the Straight, BOND ELEGANCE shifted in towards the running rail and became unbalanced. After the race, J Moreira reported that BOND ELEGANCE did not feel comfortable racing in amongst horses during the race. MONEY MONEY lay in under pressure in the Straight. Throughout the race, RADIANT STEED travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of SAKURA FIGHTER and HURRICANE KID immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. RADIANT STEED and BOLSHOI BALLET were sent for sampling.
