BINGO’s entrance to the track was delayed due to that horse’s hind plates having to be refitted. BINGO was subsequently examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race.
JOY MASTER, which was fractious in the barriers, was bumped on jumping by SUPER EIGHTEEN which initially shifted in and then raced tight inside PERFECT TO PLAY. This resulted in JOY MASTER losing ground.
PICKEN began awkwardly and lost ground.
HK TOURBILLON was steadied on jumping to obtain cover.
From the outside barriers, APPLAUSE and VIRTUS STAR were steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners.
Passing the 700 Metres, JOY MASTER raced tight inside PERFECT TO PLAY which was awkwardly placed behind BINGO. Then making the turn after the 600 Metres, JOY MASTER was crowded for room inside PERFECT TO PLAY which got its head on the side and lay in. After this, PERFECT TO PLAY continued to lay in away from FATE FIRE.
In the early part of the Straight, PICKEN was reluctant to shift to the outside of FATE FIRE into clear running.
For the majority of the race, FATE FIRE travelled wide and without cover.
BLITZING and ROMAN ODYSSEY were sent for sampling.
