HEARTLAND and GOLDEN CHOICE were crowded for room shortly after the start between NOVEL START which shifted out marginally and KING OF SMARTS which was taken in by RUGBY AMBASSADOR which shifted in. A short distance later, RUGBY AMBASSADOR was momentarily crowded for room between INTELLECTUAL GLIDE and KING OF SMARTS which shifted out. From a wide barrier, AZTEC EMPIRE was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Making the first turn near the 1050 Metres, GOLDEN CHOICE was eased after racing tight between HEARTLAND and RUGBY AMBASSADOR which shifted in when awkwardly placed outside the heels of KING OF SMARTS. Also near the 1050 Metres, HEARTLAND became unbalanced after getting its head on the side and shifting in towards the running rail of its own accord. For the majority of the race, JADE PIPPO travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. NOVEL START, CHANS DELIGHT and KING OF SMARTS were sent for sampling.
