Approaching the 600 metres CANHEDANCE (A. Cox) raced in restricted room between SKYWOPA (S. Kaya), and RICOCHET MOUNTAIN (F. Edwards) and was steadied away from the heels of RICHCHET MOUNTAIN.

Near the 200 metres BREAKERS PATH (J. Felix) improved up onto the heels of NO COVER (J. Long), which commenced to weaken, and as a result was checked. Jockey Felix was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

Over the concluding stages ROSCO’S CIRCUS (I. Toward) was held up and unable to obtain clear running.

BEAU REGIS (P. Cullen), SUN YETSEN (G. Kliese) and DIAMOND PURSUIT (J. Babarovich) raced wide throughout.

When questioned about the performance of SUN YATSEN, in particular as to why the horse got further back than was its normal racing pattern, Jockey G. Kliese said that the horse could not muster early pace and he elected to settle back in the field rather than race wide. He added, however, SUN YATSEN did not travel well in the early stages, but in his opinion the gelding finished the race off well.
