HIGHLAND DRAGON began awkwardly and lost ground. NOBODY BUT YOU and CHINA GOOD bumped at the start. From a wide barrier, GOLDEN BAUHINIA was taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Approaching the 800 Metres, D DAY SUPER was awkwardly placed outside the heels of JUST FOLLOW ME. Near the 700 Metres, TRUE COURAGE was bumped by COLUMBUS LINE which shifted out marginally. Making the first turn, POSITIVE ENERGY, which had been racing in a three wide position without cover, got its head on the side and hung out. POSITIVE ENERGY then continued to hang out rounding the turn. The racing manners of POSITIVE ENERGY were considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, POSITIVE ENERGY will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial around a bend. Passing the 500 Metres, JUST FOLLOW ME got its head on the side and hung out. After the race, it was noted that HIGHLAND DRAGON had lost its left front plate. A veterinary inspection of TRUE COURAGE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. NOBODY BUT YOU and FLASHING GUY were sent for sampling.
