PASSING FASHION shifted out at the start and bumped the hindquarters of LIKE THAT. THE MULTIPLIER was steadied in the early stages to obtain cover. In the early part of the Straight, PASSING FASHION shifted out under pressure. Over the concluding stages, FANTASY was held up for clear running and consequently was not able to be ridden all the way to the finishing line. Close to the finishing line, LIKE THAT was awkwardly placed inside the heels of REGENCY BO BO. Throughout the race, HARRIER JET travelled wide and without cover. When questioned, J Moreira stated that he was asked to ride ALL IN MIND in a forward position and it was anticipated that, from barrier 4, ALL IN MIND would be able to obtain a trailing position behind the leaders with cover. He said after being placed in the barriers, a number of runners became fractious which caused ALL IN MIND to also become fractious as the gates opened, resulting in the horse beginning only fairly and having to race back in the field. A veterinary inspection of FANTASY immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported. A veterinary inspection of RUN RUN COOL and PASSING FASHION immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. REGENCY BO BO and ALL IN MIND were sent for sampling.
