Whilst in the saddling stalls, SUNSHINE KID had its right front plate refitted. SUNSHINE KID was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. STARTLING POWER shifted in at the start and bumped SUNSHINE KID which in turn shifted in, resulting in MELLIFLUENT being hampered when crowded for room outside LOADS OF JOY. FAIR WIND and ZERO ENERGY ACT bumped at the start. From the outside barrier, VICTOR EMPEROR began only fairly. Despite being ridden along in the early stages, FAIR WIND failed to muster speed. Near the 1000 Metres, CONFUCIUS ELITE became unbalanced when being shifted in across the heels of JADE PIPPO. Making the turn near the 700 Metres, MELLIFLUENT lost ground after getting its head on the side and shifting out when awkwardly placed inside the heels of CONFUCIUS ELITE. For the majority of the race, VICTOR EMPEROR travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight raced greenly under pressure. FAIR WIND, ABLE WARRIOR and STARTLING POWER were sent for sampling.
