THE PALADIN began awkwardly and shortly after the start was awkwardly placed outside the heels of HIGHLAND DRAGON which shifted out. KING ON EARTH began only fairly, shifted out at the start and bumped the hindquarters of O'SOCOOLE which became unbalanced. HAPPY HOMING was steadied and shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After travelling a short distance, THE PALADIN and KING ON EARTH bumped. From approaching the 700 Metres, KING ON EARTH travelled wide and without cover. In the early part of the Straight, EASY AHEAD and DANEWIN TIGER raced tight as EASY AHEAD shifted out to obtain clear running. After the 150 Metres, N Callan (PLANET GIANT) dropped his left rein. Near the 50 Metres, MIGHTY GAINS got its head on the side and shifted out towards the hindquarters of PLANET GIANT, resulting in MIGHTY GAINS being awkwardly placed inside that horse and not able to be fully tested over the concluding stages. Throughout the race, JET SET DRAGON and HAPPY HOMING travelled wide and without cover. MIGHTY GAINS, PLANET GIANT and NOVEL START were sent for sampling.
