GLORIOUS AVENUE and HEARTILY WINS bumped on jumping. Despite being ridden along in the early stages, TRILLION TREASURE was unable to cross runners to its inside and consequently travelled wide and without cover throughout the race. Approaching the 1100 Metres, SNOWHOOVES became unbalanced when awkwardly placed close to the heels of KING OF REASON. Passing the 800 Metres, MODERN FORTUNE momentarily raced tight inside TRILLION TREASURE which shifted in before being directed out to relieve the tightening. Making the turn after the 700 Metres, GLORIOUS AVENUE got its head on the side and lay out. About the 250 Metres, TRILLION TREASURE became unbalanced in its action. For the majority of the race, MODERN FORTUNE travelled wide and without cover. After the race, O Doleuze expressed concern regarding the action of SUNSHINE KID which gave ground noticeably in the Straight. A veterinary inspection of SUNSHINE KID immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of SUNSHINE KID, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, SUNSHINE KID will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
