VICTORY MORE shifted out at the start and bumped the hindquarters of BELL OF VICTORY which became unbalanced. SEE U AGAIN lifted its front feet off the ground as the start was effected. ELIGERE shifted out abruptly on jumping, resulting in GALAXY WITNESS being checked when crowded for room inside ORIENTAL SMOKE. ORIENTAL SMOKE was then taken out by GALAXY WITNESS and was crowded for room inside SMART WONGCHOY. TOUCH FAITH shifted out at the start and bumped SHINY TWO. Then from the outside barriers, TOUCH FAITH and SHINY TWO were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. From a wide barrier, MEDIC ELITE was also steadied to obtain cover shortly after the start. Approaching and passing the 1000 Metres, ELIGERE was very awkwardly placed close to the heels of STREET SCREAM. Approaching the 350 Metres, SEE U AGAIN and STREET SCREAM bumped, causing both horses to become unbalanced. Passing the 350 Metres, HAPPY DAY was shifted to the outside of COOLCELEB to continue improving. TOUCH FAITH lay out under pressure in the Straight and had to be corrected on a number of occasions. COOLCELEB travelled wide and without cover throughout the race. GALAXY WITNESS and ORIENTAL SMOKE were sent for sampling.
