SUPREME FRESH shifted out at the start and bumped the hindquarters of OLE OLE. From a wide barrier, GOLDLAND DANCER was shifted across behind runners in the early stages and then, throughout the race, travelled wide and without cover. Approaching and passing the winning post on the first occasion, EN CIVIL got its head up on a number of occasions when travelling keenly. EN CIVIL continued to prove difficult to settle and for some distance near the 1000 Metres again got its head up when being checked away from the heels of INVICTUS. Near the 1100 Metres, GOLDLAND DANCER was bumped and taken wider by EXECUTIVE MANDATE which shifted out. For some distance after the 900 Metres, LUCKY HAMMER and WINNING INSTINCT raced tight as WINNING INSTINCT was ridden forward in an attempt to prevent LUCKY HAMMER from shifting away from the rail. When LUCKY HAMMER was able to establish running one horse off the rail near the 800 Metres, WINNING INSTINCT was then steadied and momentarily shifted in behind that horse rather than continuing to race three wide and without cover. In the middle stages, SUPREME FRESH lost its position when shuffled back through the field and then in the early part of the Straight had difficulty obtaining clear running. A veterinary inspection of WINNING INSTINCT and GOLDLAND DANCER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. WINNING INSTINCT, LUCKY HAMMER and EXECUTIVE MANDATE were sent for sampling. <9/10/2014 Additional Veterinary Reports>WINNING INSTINCT, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer.
