PACKING FAMOUS began awkwardly and then bumped NEARLY FINE which shifted out. YOUNG VICTORY began awkwardly and then became unbalanced when bumped on the hindquarters by VIVA POPCORN which was crowded for room outside RAINBOW LIGHT which shifted out. After this, from wide barriers, RAINBOW LIGHT and VIVA POPCORN were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. SHINY ONE began only fairly. After the 1600 Metres, PACKING FAMOUS was awkwardly placed outside the heels of NEARLY FINE when being steadied to obtain cover. Approaching the 900 Metres, CHATER PINS, which was travelling keenly, got its head up when being checked away from the heels of NEARLY FINE as the pace of the race slackened. CHATER PINS then shifted in abruptly away from the heels of NEARLY FINE and in doing so inconvenienced MURRAY’S PARTNERS. PACKING FAMOUS, which was following CHATER PINS, was inconvenienced in consequence. Passing the 800 Metres, VIVA POPCORN was shifted out to improve its position. After this, VIVA POPCORN travelled wide and without cover. At the 300 Metres, PACKING FAMOUS was bumped by NEARLY FINE which, when improving to the outside of FARSHAD, was taken out by that horse. After the 100 Metres, NEARLY FINE shifted out and brushed PACKING FAMOUS. A veterinary inspection of RAINBOW LIGHT and YOUNG VICTORY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. HAPPY JAI JAI and WIN CHARM were sent for sampling.
