COLLECTION was slow to begin. From the outside barrier, SUNNY KING was taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Passing the 1400 Metres, FELLOWSHIP was steadied away from the heels of NOBLE CONQUEROR. Near the 1200 Metres, CHATER WAY became unbalanced when racing inside ABLE ONE. Also near the 1200 Metres, COLLECTION became unbalanced when being checked away from the heels of THUMBS UP. In the early stages, PACKING WINNER hung in. Passing the 900 Metres, SIGHT WINNER was taken in to a three wide position without cover when BEAUTY FLASH shifted away from the heels of PACKING WINNER. Near the 600 Metres, BEAUTY FLASH and SIGHT WINNER bumped and became unbalanced. Near the 350 Metres, CHATER WAY was steadied when disappointed for running between BEAUTY FLASH and SIGHT WINNER which at this time commenced to give ground. Near the 250 Metres, NOBLE CONQUEROR shifted out and bumped SUNNY KING. Passing the 200 Metres, D Whyte (SUPER SATIN) momentarily dropped his right rein. Over the concluding stages, COLLECTION and SUNNY KING raced tight as SUNNY KING obtained narrow running to the inside of JACKPOT DELIGHT. J Lloyd reported that near the 850 Metres COLLECTION was racing to the inside of NOBLE CONQUEROR. He said at this time NOBLE CONQUEROR was taken in slightly by SUPER SATIN which resulted in COLLECTION racing in restricted room. He said when this happened, COLLECTION was reluctant to maintain its position to the inside of NOBLE CONQUEROR and lost ground. THUMBS UP and ABLE ONE were sent for sampling.
