After being loaded, ONE OF A KIND became fractious. Having in mind ONE OF A KIND’S previous record in respect of barrier manners, the Stewards ruled that that horse must barrier trial satisfactorily prior to its next race start. GIGGLES FOREVER was crowded for room at the start between ONE OF A KIND and MAZANDARAN which was taken out by TRUMP which shifted out after beginning awkwardly. In this incident, ONE OF A KIND became unbalanced when bumped on the hindquarters by GIGGLES FOREVER. GRIFFINDOR began awkwardly. From a wide barrier, DIVINE DIYA was taken across behind runners shortly after the start. When being crossed by GRIFFINDOR approaching the 1200 Metres, GLORIOUS RYDER proved difficult to settle and got its head up for some distance. Rounding the Home Turn, DIVINE DIYA and ONE OF A KIND raced tight as ONE OF A KIND shifted out into clear running. After the 400 Metres, GLORIOUS RYDER was shifted to the outside of GRIFFINDOR after being disappointed for running inside that horse. Passing the 50 Metres, GIGGLES FOREVER shifted out and bumped HO HO LIFE. For the majority of the race, SUPERNINSKY travelled wide and without cover. After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on TRUMP at the request of Trainer K L Man. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, TRUMP will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of GIGGLES FOREVER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. TRUMP and GLORIOUS RYDER were sent for sampling.
