JIMSON THE DRAGON began awkwardly. PLEASANT GUY was steadied in the early stages to obtain cover. ADONIS and FANTASTIC FABIO bumped at the start. After this, ADONIS was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Despite being ridden along, FANTASTIC FABIO then took some time to muster speed and subsequently travelled wide and without cover. From wide barriers, TARGET FINDER, SPEEDY DRAGON and ROYAL CHOCOLATE were also steadied in the early stages to obtain cover throughout the race. Near the 850 Metres, JIMSON THE DRAGON, which was racing keenly, was steadied away from the heels of U W BROTHER (C Schofield) which shifted in when not properly clear. C Schofield was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances. After this, JIMSON THE DRAGON continued to travel keenly and was awkwardly placed behind U W BROTHER. JIMSON THE DRAGON was badly held up for clear running from on straightening until approaching the 200 Metres at which stage the horse was shifted to the outside of U W BROTHER. When JIMSON THE DRAGON was shifted out, E GENERATION was inconvenienced. U W BROTHER lay out under pressure in the early part of the Straight. After being brushed by FANTASTIC FABIO near the 300 Metres, FOX CHEUNGER shifted out under pressure, resulting in MONEYMORE being inconvenienced. A veterinary inspection of FANTASTIC FABIO immediately following the race found that horse to have sustained a small cut to the outside of the right front pastern. A veterinary inspection of E GENERATION and DASHING GRACE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MONEYMORE and TELECOM MISSILE were sent for sampling.
