TELECOM SMART began only fairly. SUPER COMMANDER shifted out at the start and bumped VIGOR CHAMP. Shortly after the start, SEA ELITE and HERO STAR bumped, resulting in SEA ELITE becoming unbalanced. From the outside barrier, MULTIPLE STAR was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. UNIVERSAL GO GO was also steadied shortly after the start to obtain cover from a wide barrier. Passing the 900 Metres, LITTLE PLAYER got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of JIANGXI STAMINA. After the 500 Metres, SEA ELITE got its head on the side and lay out and then approaching the 400 Metres raced tight outside HERO STAR which commenced to improve into tight running between BULLISH BROTHER and SEA ELITE. Approaching the 400 Metres, VIGOR CHAMP and UNIVERSAL GO GO raced tight. Near the 350 Metres, HERO STAR was momentarily awkwardly placed close to the heels of BULLISH BROTHER when being shifted to the outside of that horse to obtain clear running. Near the 250 Metres, TELECOM SMART became unbalanced when awkwardly placed behind VIGOR CHAMP after being disappointed for running between that horse and UNIVERSAL GO GO. LITTLE PLAYER was unable to obtain clear running from passing the 200 Metres until the concluding stages and consequently was not able to be properly tested. Throughout the race, SEA ELITE travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of SEA ELITE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. JIANGXI STAMINA, VIGOR CHAMP and TELECOM SMART were sent for sampling.
