THUNDERSTRIKE shifted out at the start and bumped the hindquarters of BLOTTING PAPER. AMAZING TEENS was crowded for room on jumping between HANDSOME REBEL which shifted out and BORDER CONTROL which shifted in after beginning awkwardly. For a short distance after this, HANDSOME REBEL and AMAZING TEENS bumped on a number of occasions, causing both horses to become unbalanced. LUCKY RUBY began only fairly and then was crowded for room between POISED TO STRIKE and YOUNG THUNDER which shifted out. This resulted in LUCKY RUBY losing ground and racing back in the field. JADE THEATRE shifted out at the start and bumped the hindquarters of GOLFMAN STAR which became unbalanced. Then from a wide barrier, JADE THEATRE was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After the 800 Metres, EIGHT TRIGRAMS was left racing wide and without cover. When being ridden along approaching the first turn near the 700 Metres, BLOTTING PAPER became unbalanced of its own accord. At the entrance to the Straight, AMAZING TEENS got its head on the side and lay in towards the heels of POISED TO STRIKE. A veterinary inspection of BORDER CONTROL and SUNNY DELIGHT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of BLOTTING PAPER immediately following the race found that horse to have a continuous displacement of the soft palate. SUNNY DELIGHT, THUNDERSTRIKE and JADE THEATRE were sent for sampling.
