EAGLE POWER shifted out at the start, resulting in VANILLA being crowded for room inside MAJESTIC ANTHEM. HYPERSONIC stumbled at the start and then was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Passing the winning post on the first occasion, HYPERSONIC momentarily raced in restricted room between FREE JUDGEMENT and VANILLA, both of which shifted marginally. Near the 1300 Metres, MAJESTIC ANTHEM was steadied away from the heels of PABLOSKY (J Moreira) which shifted in when not quite clear. J Moreira was advised to exercise more care when shifting ground in future. Passing the 1300 Metres, SICHUAN VIGOUR commenced to prove difficult to settle and shifted out away from the heels of RACING HERO when awkwardly placed behind that horse. HYPERSONIC was unable to obtain clear running until passing the 200 Metres. Passing the 100 Metres, FREE JUDGEMENT was steadied when crowded for room between VANILLA which shifted in under pressure and HYPERSONIC which got its head on the side and lay out. Over the final 50 Metres, EAGLE POWER was awkwardly placed inside the heels of PABLOSKY and as a consequence was not able to be ridden out all the way to the end of the race. A veterinary inspection of HYPERSONIC immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GUN PIT and SICHUAN VIGOUR were sent for sampling.
