Shortly after the start, XIANG BAI QI and TOTAL POWER were crowded for room between SAVVY KINGMAN and TIANCHI MONSTER. SUPER OASIS began awkwardly and then from a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Passing the 1600 Metres, XIANG BAI QI was awkwardly placed outside the heels of TIANCHI MONSTER when being steadied to obtain cover behind that horse. Passing the winning post on the first occasion, TOTAL POWER got its head up when being checked away from the heels of XIANG BAI QI. After the 1300 Metres, GIFT OF LIFELINE shifted in and brushed the running rail. LEAP OF FAITH travelled wide and without cover until passing the 900 Metres. After the 900 Metres, XIANG BAI QI was awkwardly placed close to the heels of FAST PACE. Passing the 750 Metres, XIANG BAI QI improved to be racing tight inside FAST PACE. FAST PACE then shifted in marginally, resulting in XIANG BAI QI being taken in and causing DYNAMIC EAGLE to be momentarily crowded for room. Passing the 700 Metres, SUPER OASIS was shifted out in an endeavour to improve its positon. After this, SUPER OASIS travelled wide and without cover. After the 500 Metres, BEAUTY SPIRIT got its head on the side and lay out. Near the 450 Metres, LEAP OF FAITH raced tight outside RIGHTEOUS DOCTRINE which shifted to the outside of WORLD FAMOUS. After the 150 Metres, FAST PACE lay in and near the 50 Metres was bumped by TOTAL POWER which also got its head on the side and lay in under pressure. BEAUTY SPIRIT, which was racing to the inside of FAST PACE, was inconvenienced in consequence. Passing the 50 Metres, GIFT OF LIFELINE was shifted out away from the heels of RIGHTEOUS DOCTRINE to continue improving. DYNAMIC EAGLE, which was racing outside GIFT OF LIFELINE, was momentarily inconvenienced as GIFT OF LIFELINE shifted out. A veterinary inspection of LEAP OF FAITH, SUPER OASIS and FAST PACE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. TIANCHI MONSTER and SAVVY KINGMAN were sent for sampling.
