Whilst in the saddling stalls, BUBBLE CHIC had its left hind plate refitted. BUBBLE CHIC was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. SUPER LIFELINE began only fairly and then was bumped shortly after the start by WINNING LEADER which shifted in. After this, SUPER LIFELINE was ridden to obtain a forward position. From the outside barrier, SAME WORLD was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. MIZANI was also shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 1200 Metres, MR GNOCCHI shifted in and bumped SUPER LIFELINE. At the 1100 Metres, DESTINED FOR GLORY was left racing wide and without cover and near the 900 Metres got its head up when proving difficult to settle. For a short distance after the 400 Metres, SUPER LIFELINE and MR GNOCCHI raced tight and bumped due to SUPER LIFELINE shifting out in an endeavour to improve between MR GNOCCHI and BEAUTY FLAME. At the entrance to the Straight, MIZANI became unbalanced after being bumped by WINNING LEADER which shifted out in an attempt to obtain clear running. WINNING LEADER was then held up for clear running and near the 200 Metres was steadied when unable to improve between DESTINED FOR GLORY and MIZANI. Approaching the 200 Metres, KABAYAN shifted in and made contact with MIZANI. Near the 100 Metres, MIZANI was momentarily steadied away from the heels of KABAYAN (J Moreira) which shifted in. J Moreira was advised to ensure that he makes every endeavour to prevent his mounts from shifting ground. DUNDONNELL, KABAYAN and BEAUTY FLAME were sent for sampling.
