At declaration time, D Whyte was declared as the rider of both FULL TALENT and AMBER DRAGON. It was established that D Whyte had a firm commitment to ride FULL TALENT. As such, the Stewards permitted K C Leung to be substituted as the rider of AMBER DRAGON. For this declaration error, D Whyte was fined $2,000. DASHING FELLOW began only fairly. In the early stages, SICHUAN DAR and BLIZZARD were steadied and shifted across behind runners. Approaching the 1100 Metres, MY LITTLE FRIEND commenced to travel very keenly and shifted out away from the heels of initially MCQUEEN and then BLIZZARD. MY LITTLE FRIEND continued to over-race for some distance. After the 900 Metres, FULL TALENT and GOLDEN SLEEP were left racing wide and without cover. Near the 700 Metres, WINNING LEADER was awkwardly placed close to the heels of FULL TALENT. Rounding the Home Turn, FULL TALENT and WINNING LEADER raced tight and then shortly after entering the Straight FULL TALENT was steadied when crowded for room between WINNING LEADER and GOLDEN SLEEP which shifted out. Passing the 200 Metres, GOLDEN SLEEP shifted in and was awkwardly placed close to the heels of SMART MAN. Passing the 100 Metres, MCQUEEN was awkwardly placed outside FULL TALENT which got its head on the side and lay out under pressure. A veterinary inspection of WINNING LEADER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. A veterinary inspection of AMBER DRAGON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BLIZZARD and THEWIZARDOFOZ were sent for sampling.
