After being loaded, KING HARADASUN became fractious. Before being allowed to race again, KING HARADASUN will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. BURGUNDY MAC began awkwardly. GLOBAL FAME was crowded for room at the start between BLOSSOM DAILY and THANKSGIVING which was taken in by UNDOUBTEDLY MINE. From a wide barrier, SPEECHMAKER was taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Despite being ridden along in the early stages, MERIDIAN TREASURE was slow to muster speed and throughout the race travelled wide and without cover. When being steadied near the 1300 Metres, BURGUNDY MAC got its head up and proved difficult to settle. After the 400 Metres, BURGUNDY MAC was steadied away from the heels of GLOBAL FAME which shifted out after being held up for clear running behind BLOSSOM DAILY. Near the 300 Metres, KING HARADASUN momentarily raced in restricted room between PUBLIC FIGURE and MERIDIAN TREASURE which shifted out. Approaching the 200 Metres, THE FAST LANE was shifted in abruptly away from the heels of RECORD HIGH and THANKSGIVING to obtain clear running. Near the 150 Metres, PUBLIC FIGURE was steadied when crowded for room between ALWAYS SOMETHING and KING HARADASUN which got its head on the side and shifted out slightly. Passing the 50 Metres, THANKSGIVING was momentarily awkwardly placed outside the heels of THE FAST LANE which shifted out. After returning to the unsaddling area, UNDOUBTEDLY MINE collapsed. A veterinary inspection of KING HARADASUN after the race did not show any significant findings. KING HARADASUN, BLOSSOM DAILY and THE FAST LANE were sent for sampling.
