SPOKE TO CARLO, which was leaning on the outside of its stall, was slow to begin. SPOKE TO CARLO then proved difficult to settle in the early stages and got its head up on a number of occasions. BORN TO WIN began awkwardly. WINNIE’S HORSE began awkwardly and despite being ridden along in the early stages failed to muster speed. FABULOUS NOVEMBER shifted out at the start, resulting in MAC ROW being taken out onto JOLLY GOOD STAR. From the outside barrier, SUMARAND DRAGON was taken across behind runners shortly after the start. In the early stages, FABULOUS NOVEMBER travelled keenly. Passing the 1000 Metres, WINNIE’S HORSE raced in restricted room inside JOLLY GOOD STAR which was awkwardly placed close to the heels of FABULOUS NOVEMBER. SPOKE TO CARLO, which was continuing to prove difficult to settle, was hampered in consequence. Approaching the 900 Metres, BIG FOUR got its head up on a number of occasions when over-racing and awkwardly placed close to the heels of PRINCIPAL. After the 900 Metres, JOLLY GOOD STAR was left racing wide and without cover. Rounding the Home Turn, BERLINSKI raced very tight inside SUPREME FLIGHT which was attempting to take a tight run to the inside of BORN TO WIN. Passing the 350 Metres, BERLINSKI then raced tight inside NINTH GALAXY when obtaining a narrow run to the inside of that horse. Approaching the 300 Metres, NINTH GALAXY and SUPREME FLIGHT were momentarily crowded for room between BERLINSKI and BORN TO WIN, both of which shifted minimal ground. Passing the 150 Metres, POLYMER WIN was momentarily steadied away from the heels of FABULOUS NOVEMBER (O Doleuze) which shifted in. FABULOUS NOVEMBER continued to shift in and brushed GLORIOUS SUNDAY approaching the 100 Metres. O Doleuze was advised to exercise more care. Throughout the race, FABULOUS NOVEMBER travelled wide and without cover. BERLINSKI, GLORIOUS SUNDAY and FABULOUS NOVEMBER were sent for sampling.
