RACINGFORPLEASURE shifted out abruptly at the start and was checked away from the heels of YO-YO DA which shifted in after being bumped by XINJIANG YARN. In this incident, RACINGFORPLEASURE lost ground. PERFECT TIMING and GOOD MAN bumped at the start. From the outside barrier, WINNER ST PAUL'S was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. XIANJIANG YARN made the turn at the 900 Metres awkwardly. Passing the 800 Metres, FAIRY EAGLE got its head up when racing keenly and awkwardly placed close to the heels of YO-YO DA. Passing the 300 Metres, OVETT was steadied when crowded for room between FAIRY EAGLE and WINNER ST PAUL'S (C Schofield) which shifted out. C Schofield was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he leaves comfortable racing room for other runners in similar circumstances. At the 200 Metres, OVETT was eased out of the race. A veterinary inspection of OVETT revealed the horse to have broken down in its left front leg. Also at the 200 Metres, PERFECT TIMING, which was finishing off the race fairly, was steadied away from the heels of SPEEDY SANDY. Throughout the race, YO-YO DA travelled wide and without cover. WINNER ST PAUL'S and GOOD MAN were sent for sampling. Samples were also taken from OVETT.
