AFFLUENCE OF RAIN and TONYBOY began only fairly. ATACX began awkwardly. From wide barriers, TONYBOY, NO MONEY NO TALK, REGENCY HO HO and SHARP HUNTER were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages. When being steadied to allow TARZAN I AM to cross after the 1000 Metres, ALL GREAT FRIENDS got its head up on a number of occasions when racing keenly. Near the 450 Metres, ATACX got its head on the side, shifted out and was awkwardly placed inside the heels of COUR VALANT. Approaching the 150 Metres, TARZAN I AM was crowded for room between ALL GREAT FRIENDS and EXCEL ONESELF (Y T Cheng) which shifted in. Y T Cheng was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he makes a greater effort to keep his mounts on a straight course than he did on this occasion. NO MONEY NO TALK, which was following TARZAN I AM, was steadied and shifted in away from the heels of that horse in consequence after being awkwardly placed behind TARZAN I AM. Over the concluding stages, TARZAN I AM raced in restricted room between NO MONEY NO TALK and EXCEL ONESELF which shifted in. Throughout the race, EXCEL ONESELF travelled wide and without cover. ALL GREAT FRIENDS and HONG KONG DANCER were sent for sampling.
