PACKING LLAREGYB began only fairly. HELENE PARAGON, which was leaning on the outside of its stall, began awkwardly and then shifted out and bumped SILVERFIELD. BALAY BALAY and APOLLO'S CHOICE bumped at the start. After the 1200 Metres, PACKING LLAREGYB proved very difficult to settle and was checked away from the heels of CHEEKY TOO for some distance. Approaching the 600 Metres, HELENE PARAGON got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of AMBER DRAGON. After the 400 Metres, PACKING LLAREGYB was shifted to the inside of CHEEKY TOO in an endeavour to obtain clear running. AMBER DRAGON had some difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. Near the 300 Metres, CHEEKY TOO was steadied when disappointed for running between FRIENDS OF KA YING and RIGHTEOUS (M L Yeung) which shifted out. M L Yeung was advised that whilst the Stewards were satisfied that CHEEKY TOO had not properly established running at that time, nonetheless he must ensure that he makes every endeavour to prevent his mounts from shifting ground. CHEEKY TOO was then unable to obtain clear running for the remainder of the race and consequently was not able to be tested. After the 200 Metres, PACKING LLAREGYB was steadied when disappointed for running inside RIGHTEOUS which, after shifting in of its own accord, then raced tight inside FRIENDS OF KA YING. Then after obtaining clear running for a short distance near the 100 Metres, PACKING LLAREGYB again raced tight inside RIGHTEOUS over the concluding stages and consequently was not able to be properly tested. Throughout the race, SO FAST travelled wide and without cover. HELENE PARAGON and RIGHTEOUS were sent for sampling.
