BIGWOOD began only fairly. ENJOYING shifted out at the start and bumped FLYING QUEST. From wide barriers, HELENE LEADINGSTAR and LAKESHORE EAGLE were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. A short distance after the start, DELIGHTFUL LAOS was eased away from the heels of CHARITY GO which shifted in. Near the 650 Metres, LAKESHORE EAGLE was shifted out away from the heels of HELENE LEADINGSTAR after being awkwardly placed behind that horse. Passing the 400 Metres, DELIGHTFUL LAOS was bumped by BERLIN TANGO which, when attempting to shift to the inside of SUPER FOOTBALL, was awkwardly placed behind that horse which also shifted in. BERLIN TANGO was held up for clear running passing the 300 Metres when attempting to improve into restricted room between SUPER FOOTBALL and ENJOYING. Approaching the 200 Metres, CHARITY GO and FLYING QUEST bumped. Passing the 200 Metres, SUNNY STAR raced tight outside FLYING QUEST which shifted out marginally. Near the 150 Metres, ENJOYING was shifted out away from the heels of BIGWOOD which, when giving ground, became unbalanced when bumped by BERLIN TANGO. Over the concluding stages, LOOKING GREAT raced tight outside SUPER FOOTBALL which shifted out under pressure. After the race, K Teetan reported that although the horse was left racing wide and without cover near the 1000 Metres, in his opinion, SUNNY STAR did not run out the 1800 Metres of today’s race at its first time of asking. A veterinary inspection of SUNNY STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of HELENE LEADINGSTAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. LOOKING GREAT, SUPER FOOTBALL and FLYING QUEST were sent for sampling.
