As the start was effected, DANCING FIGHTER threw its head in the air and became badly unbalanced, resulting in the horse losing ground. Before being allowed to race again, DANCING FIGHTER will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. GOLDEN DASH shifted in at the start and bumped SUPER JUNIOR. BEAUTY AMIGO and CHAMP PATROL bumped at the start. From the outside barriers, PING HAI GALAXY, HOME MADE and STAY CHILL were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages to obtain cover. Near the 250 Metres, SUPER JUNIOR, which was giving ground, was steadied away from the heels of DANCING FIGHTER (Z Purton) which shifted in when not properly clear. Z Purton was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care when shifting ground in similar circumstances. Throughout the race, CHAMP PATROL travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of AMAZING KIWI immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of SUPER JUNIOR immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported. DANCING FIGHTER, BEAUTY AMIGO and GOLDEN DASH were sent for sampling.
