From the outside barrier, CHARITY GO was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners to obtain cover.
Passing the 1400 Metres, ASSIMILATE travelled keenly when racing close to the heels of TIANCHI MONSTER.
Close to the finishing line, GOLDEN SPECTRUM raced tight between TIANCHI MONSTER and CHARITY GO.
After the race, C Schofield said that ASSIMILATE travelled well throughout the race, however, was somewhat disappointing in the manner in which it failed to finish off the race. He said he was of the opinion that ASSIMILATE may not have seen out the distance of today’s race at the first time of asking. A veterinary inspection of ASSIMILATE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of BUTTERFIELD immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
