CAMPIONE shifted out on jumping and inconvenienced CALL ME TEDDY. From the outside barriers, PROUD DRAGON, MAJESTIC KNIGHT and KUMASI were all steadied in the early stages to obtain cover. In the early stages, POWER KOEPP travelled keenly when being steadied in an attempt to obtain cover. Then passing the 800 Metres, POWER KOEPP was left racing wide and without cover. At the entrance to the Straight, POWER KOEPP was awkwardly placed outside the heels of CALL ME TEDDY which shifted to the outside of PHOENIX LIGHT. POWER KOEPP then lay in and passing the 400 Metres was steadied away from the heels of CALL ME TEDDY. POWER KOEPP continued to race tight outside CALL ME TEDDY which in turn raced tight outside PHOENIX LIGHT which shifted out marginally and then was shifted to the outside of KUMASI passing the 300 Metres to obtain clear running after being disappointed for running between that horse and CALL ME TEDDY. Approaching the 150 Metres, CALL ME TEDDY lay in towards the heels of PHOENIX LIGHT. CALL ME TEDDY was then awkwardly placed outside the heels of PHOENIX LIGHT passing the 100 Metres. Approaching the 100 Metres, PROUD DRAGON, which was laying in, was shifted to the inside of WIND N GRASS. After the race, A Badel stated that, in his opinion, PROUD DRAGON was disappointing today as the horse did not close off as strongly as anticipated after being placed under pressure in the Straight. A veterinary inspection of PROUD DRAGON immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CAMPIONE and BEAUTY MISSION were sent for sampling.
