SMOKEY BEAR and WAR WEAPON bumped at the start. ALL IN MIND began awkwardly. PRIME MINISTER was crowded for room on jumping between ELIGERE and REGENCY BO BO which became unbalanced after being bumped by EXCELLENT DADDY. After this, PRIME MINISTER was shifted across behind runners to obtain cover. Making the first turn after the 900 Metres, GALLANT EXPRESS was momentarily crowded for room inside SMOKEY BEAR which was taken in by SUPREME SUPREME which shifted in despite the efforts of its rider. When SUPREME SUPREME was shifted out abruptly to relieve the tightening to SMOKEY BEAR and GALLANT EXPRESS, SUPREME SUPREME bumped CIRCUIT MIGHTY. After this, CIRCUIT MIGHTY and SUPREME SUPREME travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of SUPREME SUPREME immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils. At the entrance to the Straight, CIRCUIT STELLER momentarily raced in restricted room between CIRCUIT MIGHTY and SUPREME SUPREME which shifted out. PRIME MINISTER, which was following CIRCUIT STELLER, was shifted in away from the heels of that horse in consequence. PRIME MINSTER was then held up for clear running until passing the 300 Metres. Approaching the 350 Metres, GALLANT EXPRESS and SMOKEY BEAR raced tight as GALLANT EXPRESS shifted to the outside of LUCKY WITH YOU. Passing the 350 Metres, STAR BRITE shifted out and bumped SUPREME SUPREME. Passing the 300 Metres, EXCELLENT DADDY raced tight outside the heels of WAR WEAPON when improving into tight running between that horse and ELIGERE. A veterinary inspection of ALL IN MIND and WAR WEAPON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. LUCKY WITH YOU and GALLANT EXPRESS were sent for sampling.
