PAKISTAN FRIEND shifted out at the start and bumped DARCI JOY which in turn shifted out and bumped JOYFUL HEART. BIG BROOK was crowded for room on jumping between SUPER ELEGANCE and YES WE CAN, both of which shifted ground. After this, YES WE CAN was steadied to obtain cover. From the outside barriers, AI ONE and DECISIVE ACTION were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After travelling a short distance, DARCI JOY shifted in and bumped PAKISTAN FRIEND. DARCI JOY then shifted out, resulting in JOYFUL HEART being inconvenienced. After the 1000 Metres and again making the turn after the 900 Metres, BIG BROOK and YES WE CAN raced tight. After the 400 Metres, DARCI JOY got its head on the side and lay in and was reluctant to improve to the outside of PAKISTAN FRIEND. DARCI JOY continued to lay in approaching the 200 Metres and was shifted out away from the heels of PAKISTAN FRIEND which shifted out. After the 200 Metres, SUPER ELEGANCE had some difficulty obtaining clear running. A veterinary inspection of FLYING MIGHTY immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported. A veterinary inspection of LIGHT MY DAY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. RED ELYSEES, DARCI JOY and JOYFUL HEART were sent for sampling.
