Shortly after the start, HEARTS KEEPER was inconvenienced by EXCEEDINGLY EXCEL which shifted in. From the outside barriers, RISING POWER and SOLAR KID were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. CONSISTENT was also steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. Making the first turn, HEARTS KEEPER was shifted in away from the heels of LOVELY NAUGHTY which shifted in. Also making the turn after the 700 Metres, SOLAR KID got its head on the side and shifted out across the heels of ADDOLE after initially being taken out by CONSISTENT. Making the Home Turn, both SNOWHOOVES and RISING POWER were unable to improve when racing close to heels. SNOWHOOVES then continued to be held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight. Throughout the race, LOVELY NAUGHTY and ADDOLE travelled wide and without cover. The performance of EXCEEDINGLY EXCEL, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, EXCEEDINGLY EXCEL will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of SOLAR KID and SNOWHOOVES immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. TRILLION TREASURE and KING OF HOUSEHOLD were sent for sampling.
