As the start was effected, THE FULL BLOOM became fractious and consequently began only fairly.
VIRTUS STAR shifted out at the start and bumped THE JOY OF GIVING.
DRAGON PRIDE began awkwardly and then was inconvenienced by TREASURE CHEST which shifted out. Then from the outside barrier, DRAGON PRIDE was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Approaching the 900 Metres, WONDERFUL TIGER commenced to prove difficult to settle and stumbled after striking the heels of JOY MASTER. This resulted in WONDERFUL TIGER shifting out away from the heels of JOY MASTER and travelling wide and without cover. WONDERFUL TIGER was then allowed to improve its position passing the 800 Metres into the lead approaching the 600 Metres.
Near the 550 Metres, POLYMER LUCK was steadied after being disappointed for running between TREASURE CHEST and NITRO EXPRESS which improved around POLYMER LUCK. VIRTUS STAR, which was following POLYMER LUCK, was shifted out away from the heels of that horse in consequence, resulting in DRAGON PRIDE being taken wider.
A veterinary inspection of TREASURE CHEST immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
V CHEVALIERS and VIRTUS STAR were sent for sampling.
