NATURAL FLARE was slow to begin.
FANTASTIC FABIO shifted out at the start and bumped THE FULL BLOOM. THE FULL BLOOM then became unbalanced when buffeted between FANTASTIC FABIO and PEACE COMBINATION which became unbalanced after being bumped by THE FULL BLOOM.
From wide barriers, JUNZI, NOBLE STAR and SHOWING CHARACTER were all steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners.
Making the turn near the 1000 Metres, NATURAL FLARE and NOBLE STAR bumped.
Rounding the Home Turn, CALIFORNIA ASPAR and FANTASTIC FABIO bumped.
Shortly after entering the Straight, OUR HONOUR was shifted to the inside of CALIFORNIA ASPAR to obtain clear running.
After the 300 Metres, MEGA TREASURE was shifted in away from the heels of GRAND HARBOUR and then was awkwardly placed between that horse and JUNZI until near the 200 Metres.
THE FULL BLOOM was unable to obtain clear running from approaching the 200 Metres until after the 100 Metres and consequently was not able to be properly tested.
For the majority of the race, PEACE COMBINATION travelled wide and without cover.
A veterinary inspection of GRAND HARBOUR and THE FULL BLOOM immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
THE FULL BLOOM, CALIFORNIA ASPAR and SHOWING CHARACTER were sent for sampling.
