POWERMAX shifted out at the start and bumped ART OF RAW which became badly unbalanced and shifted out, making heavy contact with the hindquarters of HOME RUN which became badly unbalanced. ROYAL MOJITO shifted out at the start and bumped RIGHT CALL. Shortly after the start, ULTIMATE GLORY shifted in and bumped BULB ELITE. From wide barriers, INTREPIC, SMILING CHARM and WINNING FAITH were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After being ridden along in the early stages to obtain a forward position, RIGHT CALL then travelled wide and without cover throughout the race. Passing the 1100 Metres, ROYAL MOJITO raced tight outside the hindquarters of CONTE which remained racing in a one-off position. ROYAL MOJITO was then obliged to race wide and without cover throughout the race. Passing the 400 Metres, HOME RUN raced in restricted room inside CAPTAIN BOSS which was taken in by CONTE. Approaching the 300 Metres, CAPTAIN BOSS, which was giving ground, was brushed by HOME RUN. Approaching the 200 Metres, BULB ELITE had difficulty obtaining clear running and then passing the 200 Metres was shifted to the outside of INTREPIC. HOME RUN was unable to obtain clear running over the final 50 Metres and consequently was not able to be ridden out to the end of the race. A veterinary inspection of HAIR TRIGGER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CONTE and ULTIMATE GLORY were sent for sampling.
