PLAY WISE shifted in at the start and bumped LET’S TAKE IT EASY. After this, PLAY WISE, from a wide barrier, was shifted across behind runners. CITY LEGEND shifted out at the start and bumped ENJOY LIFE. From the outside barriers, CITY LEGEND, ENJOY LIFE and PERFECT TO PLAY were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages to obtain cover. Passing the winning post on the first occasion, SUPREME PLUS became unbalanced when crowded for room between CIRCUIT NUMBER ONE and HARRIET JET which initially got its head on the side and shifted in away from POLYMER LUCK and then was taken in marginally by that horse. When taken in by POLYMER LUCK, HARRIER JET was bumped and taken in which resulted in SUPREME PLUS being further crowded for room. POLYMER LUCK was then shifted out to relieve the tightening to SUPREME PLUS and HARRIER JET. Also passing the winning post on the first occasion, PERFECT TO PLAY shifted in and bumped the hindquarters of PLAY WISE. When being shifted to the inside of SUPREME PLUS passing the 250 Metres, CITY LEGEND raced tight inside the heels of that horse which shifted in, resulting in CITY LEGEND shifting in and bumping VILLA FIONN near the 200 Metres which was then awkwardly placed close to the heels of CIRCUIT NUMBER ONE.

This resulted in VILLA FIONN racing in restricted room between CIRCUIT NUMBER ONE and CITY LEGEND which was awkwardly placed close to the heels of POLYMER LUCK. Over the concluding stages, VILLA FIONN was then awkwardly placed close to the heels of POLYMER LUCK and consequently was not able to be fully tested.
