After being loaded, DO YOU GET IT proved very fractious and reared on a number of occasions. Before being allowed to race again, DO YOU GET IT will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial. LOYAL CRAFTSMAN was crowded for room on jumping between UP AND COMING and DASHING FELLOW which was taken in by DO YOU GET IT. INCREDIBLE ACT was slow to begin. From a wide barrier, RIBOT LEGACY was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching and passing the 900 Metres, YOUNG BULLET was awkwardly placed close to the heels of FLYING RED. After the 900 Metres, FLYING RED became unbalanced when crowded for room between LOVELY NAUGHTY and PACKING PINS which shifted out when awkwardly placed close to the heels of DASHING FELLOW. Near the 700 Metres, RIBOT LEGACY commenced to travel keenly and got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of INCREDIBLE ACT. Near the 450 Metres, YOUNG BULLET raced in restricted room between FLYING RED and INCREDIBLE ACT. Near the 350 Metres, DO YOU GET IT, which was commencing to give ground, was momentarily steadied away from the heels of PACKING PINS (N Callan) which shifted out. N Callan was advised to exercise more care. Approaching the 300 Metres, FLYING RED was steadied to avoid the heels of PACKING PINS which continued to shifted out. N Callan was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he makes every endeavour to keep his mounts straight. Also approaching the 300 Metres, RIBOT LEGACY was held up for clear running behind YOUNG BULLET. At the 300 Metres, RIBOT LEGACY, which was attempting but had not yet established running to the outside of YOUNG BULLET, was taken out by that horse which shifted out to obtain clear running outside LOVELY NAUGHTY which also shifted out marginally. In this incident, UP AND COMING was bumped by RIBOT LEGACY and then got its head on the side and shifted out away from that horse, resulting in BEST HOPE being checked and COLLAGEN being hampered and taken wider. As the Stewards were satisfied that there were a number of circumstances to this incident and that no rider had ridden without due care, no further action was taken. Passing the 100 Metres, FLYING RED and LOVELY NAUGHTY bumped. DASHING FELLOW lost its right hind plate after the winning post. Throughout the race, WHY WHY and COLLAGEN travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of DO YOU GET IT and UP AND COMING immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. PACKING PINS and DASHING FELLOW were sent for sampling.
