SEA DIAMOND, which was fractious in the barriers, began awkwardly and shortly after the start was taken across behind runners. Before being allowed to race again, SEA DIAMOND will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. ALL YOU WISH began only fairly. From wide barriers, FAIR TRADE and CARTHAGE were taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Approaching the 1200 Metres, SEA DIAMOND momentarily raced in restricted room between CARTHAGE and ALL YOU WISH which was taken out by INDIAN JADE. Making the turn near the 850 Metres, AXIOM was bumped by MASSIVE IMPACT which got its head on the side and shifted out slightly. Passing the 800 Metres, SEA DIAMOND was awkwardly placed close to the heels of ALL YOU WISH. Passing the 700 Metres, CARTHAGE was bumped and taken wider by SEA DIAMOND (T Berry) which shifted out. T Berry was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care than he did on this occasion when shifting ground. T Berry was reminded of his obligation to ride his mount out all the way to the end of the race at least hands and heels wherever circumstances permit. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that TARZAN I AM had lost its right front plate and had sustained a laceration to the inside of the left hind cannon. A veterinary inspection of SEA DIAMOND immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. ALL YOU WISH and SOLAR GREAT were sent for sampling.
