When proceeding to the barriers, M Chadwick was dislodged from HIGH SPEED METRO. HIGH SPEED METRO then travelled riderless up the 1800 Metre chute. On return to the barriers, HIGH SPEED METRO was examined by the Veterinary Surgeon who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. M Chadwick was also passed fit to fulfil his race riding commitment. HIGH SPEED METRO was crowded for room shortly after the start between SHANGHAI PIONEER and HAPPY HOMING which shifted out. From wide barriers, TRIUMPHANT WAY and JUN HAO were shifted across behind runners shortly after the start. Making the turn near the 900 Metres, LYRIC ACE commenced to prove difficult to settle and was checked away from the heels of LITTLE RAINFOREST for some distance. HAPPY HOMING, which was following, was hampered in consequence. Making the first turn after the 900 Metres, POSITIVE ENERGY got its head on the side and shifted out towards the heels of MASSIVE. SPURS ON, which was following POSITIVE ENERGY, was inconvenienced in consequence. Rounding the Home Turn, POSITIVE ENERGY and MASSIVE raced tight as POSITIVE ENERGY shifted out into clear running. Near the 250 Metres, SPURS ON shifted in under pressure, resulting in MASSIVE momentarily racing in restricted room outside POSITIVE ENERGY. A veterinary inspection of POSITIVE ENERGY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. POSITIVE ENERGY, JOYFUL LUCK and GOLD PRECIOUS were sent for sampling.
