When presented in the saddling area, it was noted that STRATEGIC ARMY had swelling over the right front tendon. Acting on advice from the Veterinary Officer that STRATEGIC ARMY was not suitable to race, the horse was withdrawn by order of the Stewards. Before being allowed to race again, STRATEGIC ARMY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. NITRO EXPRESS began awkwardly. From wide barriers, CONFUCIUS SPIRIT, A BEAUTIFUL and GREAT JOY were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. CONFUCIUS SPIRIT and MAGIC STAR both made the Home Turn wide after MAGIC STAR was awkwardly placed close to the heels of MR KOOL. A veterinary inspection of MAGIC STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SECRET AGENT, MINT MASTER and GENTILIS were sent for sampling.
