As the start was effected, PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT bounded in the air and consequently was slow to begin. SUPER FORM began awkwardly. Despite being vigorously ridden along in the early stages, DIAMOND KING was slow to muster speed and then for the majority of the race travelled wide and without cover. Approaching the 1200 Metres, DIAMOND KING and GLENEALY PRIZE raced tight. Passing the 1200 Metres, GLENEALY PRIZE was momentarily awkwardly placed close to the heels of JOYFUL MOMENTS (Z Purton) which shifted in. Z Purton was advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground. DIEGO KOSTA was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight. SIMPLY INVINCIBLE was held up for clear running from near the 150 Metres until near the 50 Metres. Over the concluding stages, SIMPLY INVINCIBLE raced in restricted room between VERBINSKY and TOO FAST. Throughout the race, RADIANT BUNNY and SMART SALUTE travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of DIEGO KOSTA immediately following the race including an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse’s trachea. DIEGO KOSTA, JOYFUL MOMENTS and VERBINSKY were sent for sampling.
