MANFUL STAR began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped SUPER JUNIOR which became unbalanced. SUPER MODEL shifted in at the start and bumped EXCEPTIONAL DESIRE. LITTLE WISE MAN began only fairly and then after travelling a short distance was crowded for room between JOLLY CONVERGENCE which shifted in and POWER RACER which was taken out by FLYING GODSPELL which got its head on the side and shifted out away from GOUTEN OF GARO after initially being bumped by that horse. After this, POWER RACER, LITTLE WISE MAN and JOLLY CONVERGENCE were all shifted across behind runners from outside barriers. FLYING GODSPELL was then ridden along, however, failed to muster speed and near the 1100 Metres was shifted across behind runners to obtain cover. Despite being vigorously ridden in the early stages, KHAKI failed to muster speed. For some distance approaching and passing the 800 Metres, FLYING GODSPELL travelled keenly and approaching the 700 Metres shifted out abruptly away from the heels of PRECIOUS SWEETIE when continuing to prove difficult to settle. Then after the 600 Metres, FLYING GODSPELL was left racing wide and without cover. GOUTEN OF GARO travelled wide and without cover until after the 600 Metres. Approaching the 200 Metres, PERFECT BUDDY was shifted to the outside of JOLLY CONVERGENCE after being disappointed for running between that horse and MANFUL STAR. Passing the 100 Metres, POWER RACER was shifted out away from the heels of GOUTEN OF GARO which was giving ground. A veterinary inspection of FLYING GODSPELL and GOUTEN OF GARO immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. PRECIOUS SWEETIE and LITTLE WISE MAN were sent for sampling.
