MASSIVE POWER was slow to begin and then shortly after the start was bumped by ARGENTUM which shifted in after beginning only fairly. From the outside barrier, VICTORY HEART was steadied shortly after the start and shifted across behind runners. Near the 1000 Metres, MOLLY'S JADE STAR was steadied when crowded for room inside SEA WARRIOR (N Rawiller) which shifted in when not properly clear. N Rawiller was severely reprimanded and advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear of other runners when shifting ground in future. Making the turn near the 900 Metres, VICTORY HEART was shifted out away from the heels of GOOD FOR YOU which in turn made the turn awkwardly. After this, VICTORY HEART was awkwardly placed close to the heels of GOOD FOR YOU for some distance. After the 900 Metres, DISTINCT COMMANDER was left racing wide and without cover. SEA WARRIOR was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight. Near the 350 Metres, VICTORY HEART was steadied when disappointed for running between ARGENTUM and MAGICAL BEAM (M L Yeung) which shifted to the outside of DISTINCT COMMANDER. M L Yeung was advised to exercise more care when shifting ground in similar circumstances. A veterinary inspection of ARGENTUM immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SEA WARRIOR and MOLLY'S JADE STAR were sent for sampling.
