BRILLIANT DREAM and LOVELY DELOVELY, which both began only fairly, bumped shortly after the start. LORD SINCLAIR began awkwardly and lost ground and shortly after the start was shifted across behind runners. Shortly after the start, FIGHT HERO, SICHUAN VIGOUR and GO BABY GO raced tight between PERPETUAL TREASURE and HAPPY YEAH YEAH which got its head on the side and shifted out. From a wide barrier, ARCHIPPUS got its head up and became unbalanced shortly after the start when being steadied to obtain cover behind the field. Approaching the 900 Metres, LOVELY DELOVELY was steadied away from the heels of FIGHT HERO which shifted in. After the 900 Metres, ARCHIPPUS proved difficult to settle when being steadied to obtain cover behind CHARITY GLORY. Approaching the 800 Metres, BRILLIANT DREAM got its head up when proving difficult to settle. In the early stages, DIAMOND DRAGON was left racing wide and without cover and making the turn after the 700 Metres got its head on the side and lay out. DIAMOND DRAGON continued to lay out until after straightening. For some distance rounding the Home Turn, ARCHIPPUS raced in restricted room when attempting to improve between CHARITY GLORY and FIGHT HERO where there was insufficient room. Then shortly after entering the Straight, ARCHIPPUS was steadied and shifted to the outside of CHARITY GLORY to obtain clear running. Over the final 100 Metres, SICHUAN VIGOUR and PERPETUAL TREASURE raced tight as a result of PERPETUAL TREASURE shifting out marginally under pressure. Throughout the race, CHARITY GLORY travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of FIGHT HERO, ARCHIPPUS and DIAMOND DRAGON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SICHUAN VIGOUR and PERPETUAL TREASURE were sent for sampling.
