GOOD TREASURE began very awkwardly and made heavy contact with the inside of its barrier stall, resulting in its rider, T H So, becoming badly unbalanced and GOOD TREASURE losing ground. HAPPILABABY was slow to begin. TOO FAST began only fairly. From wide barriers, TRIUMPHANT LIGHT, CHOICE TREASURE and HEROIC GURU were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 1000 Metres, TRIUMPHANT LIGHT got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of ROUNDABOUT. After the 800 Metres, HEROIC GURU was left racing wide and without cover. Also after the 800 Metres, TRIUMPHANT LIGHT was steadied when attempting to improve into tight running between ROUNDABOUT and HEROIC GURU. After the 500 Metres, CHOICE TREASURE and GOOD TREASURE raced tight as both horses improved into narrow running between HAPPILABABY and TRIUMPHANT LIGHT. Approaching the 200 Metres, SUNNY PEARL was steadied when awkwardly placed inside the heels of SKY HERO which shifted in marginally. HAPPILABABY, which was following, was shifted in away from the heels of SUNNY PEARL in consequence. HAPPY SURVEYS was unable to obtain clear running until near the 200 Metres. Passing the 150 Metres, MEDIC KINGDOM got its head up and shifted out after momentarily racing tight between TOO FAST and SKY HERO which was taken in by NONE OTHER (M L Yeung) which shifted ground under pressure. M L Yeung was advised that whilst MEDIC KINGDOM's racing manners had contributed significantly to this incident, nonetheless he was reprimanded and advised that in similar circumstances when his mounts are shifting ground, he would be expected to stop riding and straighten them. Over the concluding stages, HAPPILABABY was held up for clear running behind SOLAR KINGDOM and as a consequence was not able to be ridden out all the way to the end of the race. A veterinary inspection of ROUNDABOUT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. NONE OTHER and HAPPY SURVEYS were sent for sampling.
