From wide barriers, CHEER and NAVEL ORANGE were taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Shortly after the start, CALIFORNIA DUDE was crowded for room between MR MEDICI and IT HAS TO BE YOU. When being steadied in the early stages, NOBLE ALPHA proved very difficult to settle and got its head up on a number of occasions. Approaching the 1300 Metres, VAUGIRARD got its head up on a number of occasions when awkwardly placed close to the heels of SAME WORLD. SAME WORLD had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. Passing the 200 Metres, NAVEL ORANGE was shifted in away from the heels of WRATH OF FIRE to obtain clear running. For some distance after this, NAVEL ORANGE raced in restricted room between WRATH OF FIRE and CALIFORNIA DUDE which itself was awkwardly placed close to the heels of IT HAS TO BE YOU over the concluding stages. For the majority of the race, PERCY JACKSON travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of BEAUTY TOUCH after the race did not show any significant findings. BEAUTY TOUCH, SAME WORLD and VICTOR DELIGHT were sent for sampling.
