Y T Cheng (DOUBLE GLORY) was fined the sum of $2,000 for initially weighing out with two surcingles. THE SYLPH began awkwardly. From the outside barrier, ASHKIYR was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. In the early stages, JAEGER BOMB and INDUSTRIALIST WAY raced tight. Passing the 1100 Metres, MEDALLIST was steadied away from the heels of FRANCE VALOUR. Making the first turn near the 900 Metres, SUPREME PROFIT raced tight between DUAL HAPPY and BEAUTY LEAD which attempted to shift out away from the heels of MEDALLIST. A short distance later, BEAUTY LEAD was steadied when crowded for room between JAEGER BOMB which was proving difficult to settle when awkwardly placed close to the heels of MEDALLIST which itself was awkwardly placed close to the heels of FRANCE VALOUR and SUPREME PROFIT which was racing tight inside DUAL HAPPY. Rounding the Home Turn, BEAUTY LEAD raced tight when attempting to improve between MEDALLIST and INDUSTRIALIST WAY. PHOTON WILLIE was unable to obtain clear running in the early part of the Straight and passing the 200 Metres was checked away from the heels of AUTUMN GOLD and shifted in. MEDALLIST also had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight and passing the 300 Metres raced tight inside ASHKIYR which shifted in. Passing the 100 Metres, BEAUTY LEAD was steadied to avoid the heels of INDUSTRIALIST WAY (A Suborics) which shifted in under pressure. A Suborics was advised to exercise more care. Near the 50 Metres, SUPREME FRESH shifted out and bumped SUPREME PROFIT. Throughout the race, TURBO JEWELLERY travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of AUTUMN GOLD immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SUPREME PROFIT and SUPREME FRESH were sent for sampling.
