LUCKY RUBY began only fairly and then lost ground when crowded for room between LIGHT MY DAY and SUPER MISSION, both of which shifted ground. MORE THAN ENOUGH shifted out at the start, resulting in THE ELITES losing ground when crowded for room. From wide barriers, COPARTNER ERA and HAPPY TANGO were shifted across behind runners to obtain cover in the early stages. Also from a wide barrier, AMAZING KNIGHT was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners, however, near the 800 Metres was left racing very wide and without cover. After the 900 Metres, SUPER MISSION got its head up when being checked away from the heels of LIGHT MY DAY. After the 600 Metres, SUPER MISSION was again checked away from the heels of LIGHT MY DAY which was awkwardly placed close to the heels of FORTUNE MASTER. Then near the 550 Metres, SUPER MISSION shifted in away from the heels of LIGHT MY DAY and bumped LUCKY RUBY. Near the 250 Metres, MORE THAN ENOUGH was awkwardly placed inside the heels of MY SUGAR when improving into tight running between that horse and VIVA CHEF. Then near the 200 Metres, MORE THAN ENOUGH lay out and brushed MY SUGAR. Near the 100 Metres, HAPPY TANGO was awkwardly placed close to the heels of VIVA CHEF when being shifted to the outside of that horse to continue improving. N Callan (MORE THAN ENOUGH) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 50 Metres he failed to take sufficient measures to prevent his mount from shifting out, resulting in MORE THAN ENOUGH shifting out across the rightful running of MY SUGAR which was checked. N Callan was suspended from riding in races for the racemeeting to be conducted at Happy Valley on Wednesday, 15 July 2020. In addition, Jockey Callan was fined $35,000. COPARTNER ERA lay in under pressure in the Straight. Throughout the race, FORTUNE MASTER travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of AMAZING KNIGHT and LUCKY RUBY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MY SUGAR, MORE THAN ENOUGH and SUPER MISSION were sent for sampling.
