On jumping, GOLD PRECIOUS shifted out and bumped SHARP HUNTER. From wide barriers, WILLIE WAY and TOM'S CHARM were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Passing the 1600 Metres, GALAXY PRANCER was steadied when crowded for room between G-ONE LEADER and HEAVENLY MASTERS which was taken in by GOLD PRECIOUS (Apprentice H N Wong) which was then shifted out to relieve the tightening. Apprentice Wong was reprimanded. Approaching the 1300 Metres, TELEPHATIA was momentarily crowded for room inside WILLIE WAY which shifted in away from the heels of GALAXY PRANCER which was racing tight inside SHARP HUNTER. After the 1200 Metres, SHARP HUNTER was left racing wide and without cover. Making the turn approaching the 900 Metres, HEAVENLY MASTERS was steadied away from the heels of GOLD PRECIOUS. Passing the 800 Metres, TOM'S CHARM, which had initially attempted to improve outside WILLIE WAY, was steadied and shifted across behind that horse when WILLIE WAY shifted out into a three wide position. Passing the 450 Metres, WILLIE WAY and TOM'S CHARM raced tight as TOM'S CHARM attempted to shift out into clear running. Rounding the Home Turn, TOM'S CHARM then raced tight between WILLIE WAY and GALAXY PRANCER which shifted out. TOM'S CHARM was subsequently held up for clear running until near the 200 Metres at which time it was shifted out across the heels of WILLIE WAY. At the entrance to the Straight, GALAXY PRANCER and SHARP HUNTER raced tight as GALAXY PRANCER attempted to shift out to obtain clear running. GALAXY PRANCER was then unable to obtain clear running until near the 200 Metres. Passing the 100 Metres, TELEPHATIA commenced to shift out under pressure and near the 50 Metres was shifted in away from the heels of LIGHTNING PEGASUS. A veterinary inspection of TOM'S CHARM and GRACEFUL KINGDOM immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. TOM'S CHARM, LIGHTNING PEGASUS and TELEPHATIA were sent for sampling.
