GOOD FOR YOU shifted out at the start and bumped YOUNG LEGEND which in turn shifted out and bumped PING HAI GALAXY. PRANCE DRAGON and SUNSET WATCH were crowded for room on jumping between JUMBO HAPPINESS and COPARTNER SPIRIT which shifted in and then shifted in further after becoming unbalanced as a result of contact with SUNSET WATCH. This incident resulted in PRANCE DRAGON and SUNSET WATCH losing ground. After this, COPARTNER SPIRIT was steadied and shifted across behind runners to obtain cover. From a wide barrier, HAPPY FAMILY, which began awkwardly, was also shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Near the 1100 Metres, SEVENTH SEA shifted in and bumped SUNNY LAD. After this, SUNNY LAD and SEVENTH SEA raced tight. Then making the turn approaching the 1000 Metres, SEVENTH SEA became unbalanced when crowded for room between SUNNY LAD and JUMBO HAPPINESS which shifted in. In this incident, SEVENTH SEA and JUMBO HAPPINESS both became unbalanced. Making the turn after the 600 Metres, SUNNY LAD shifted out and bumped SEVENTH SEA which became unbalanced. Passing the 500 Metres, SUNSET WATCH was awkwardly placed behind SUNNY LAD. At the entrance to the Straight, BEAUTY AMIGO shifted in towards the heels of YOUNG LEGEND, resulting in the rider of BEAUTY AMIGO having to straighten his mount. For the majority of the race, SEVENTH SEA travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of SUNSET WATCH immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of JUMBO HAPPINESS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. DIAMOND BRILLIANT, YOUNG LEGEND and PING HAI GALAXY were sent for sampling.
