WERTHER began awkwardly. CONTENTMENT and GIANT TREASURE bumped at the start. From the outside barriers, BEAUTY ONLY and ABLE FRIEND were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Passing the 400 Metres, HELENE PARAGON and GIANT TREASURE bumped as HELENE PARAGON improved into tight running between GIANT TREASURE and BLAZING SPEED. ABLE FRIEND, which was following and held up for clear running, was checked in away from the heels of HELENE PARAGON in consequence. When GIANT TREASURE was taken out by HELENE PARAGON, JOYFUL TRINITY and BEAUTY ONLY, which were improving to the outside of GIANT TREASURE, were inconvenienced. ABLE FRIEND had difficulty obtaining clear running passing the 300 Metres and passing the 100 Metres was shifted to the inside of HELENE PARAGON to obtain clear running. Throughout the race, BLAZING SPEED travelled wide and without cover. HELENE PARAGON and JOYFUL TRINITY were sent for sampling.
