HERO STAR was crowded for room on jumping between CELESTIAL WARRIOR and SMART WONGCHOY which shifted out. TUNG HAYE HAYE began awkwardly and then lost ground when crowded for room between CELESTIAL WARRIOR and KOKUSHI MUSOU which shifted in. BUDDY SPIRIT began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped EASY LIFE which lost ground when crowded for room inside the heels of BRILLIANT WAY. From the outside barrier, FANTASY was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Near the 1150 Metres, CELESTIAL WARRIOR was eased away from the heels of KOKUSHI MUSOU which initially got its head on the side and lay in away from MIRACLE VICTORY and then raced tight inside that horse. Passing the 1150 Metres, BRILLIANT WAY got its head up and travelled keenly when being steadied to obtain cover. Passing the 1000 Metres, MIRACLE VICTORY got its head up when awkwardly placed outside the heels of KOKUSHI MUSOU when being steadied to obtain cover behind that horse. Near the 950 Metres, KING OF THE COURT raced tight inside VOYAGE BUBBLE which was then shifted out to relieve the tightening to KING OF THE COURT. When VOYAGE BUBBLE was shifted out, CIRCUIT ELITE, which was following, was steadied away from the heels of that horse. After this, CIRCUIT ELITE travelled wide and without cover. Approaching the 950 Metres, EASY LIFE was hampered when crowded for room inside SUPER HIGHWAY which got its head on the side and lay in when racing greenly. After this, EASY LIFE which was having its first race start today, got its head up when awkwardly placed behind BRILLIANT WAY and continued to race greenly. Passing the 900 Metres, BRILLIANT WAY got its head up when racing close to the heels of KING OF THE COURT. Passing the 800 Metres, CELESTIAL WARRIOR was momentarily crowded for room inside BRILLIANT WAY which was racing tight inside CIRCUIT ELITE. TUNG HAYE HAYE, which was following CELESTIAL WARRIOR, was inconvenienced in consequence. At the entrance to the Straight, KOKUSHI MUSOU and HERO STAR raced tight as HERO STAR attempted to improve into tight running between that horse and SMART WONGCHOY. KOKUSHI MUSOU was then crowded for room near the 350 Metres between MIRACLE VICTORY which shifted in marginally and HERO STAR which continued to attempt to improve to the outside of SMART WONGCHOY which shifted out. This resulted in KOKUSHI MUSOU being steadied approaching the 300 Metres and HERO STAR being directed to the inside of SMART WONGCHOY after being disappointed for running to the outside of that horse. After the 400 Metres, BRILLIANT WAY shifted in towards the heels of VOYAGE BUBBLE. BRILLIANT WAY was then shifted out after the 350 Metres away from the heels of VOYAGE BUBBLE which got its head on the side and shifted out away from KING OF THE COURT. SUPER HIGHWAY lay in under pressure in the Straight. BRILLIANT WAY, MIRACLE VICTORY and VOYAGE BUBBLE were sent for sampling.
