On jumping, TSUIMAI GAL (J. Hoopert) was severely checked when crowded by PINOCCHIO JACK (P. Randall), which shifted out abruptly.

Making the turn near the 900m, TSUIMAI GAL raced tight inside SURLY TEMPLE (N. Tomizawa).

From the 500m, STAMP OF AUTHORITY (J. Letherby) hung out and shifted ground.

Rounding the turn and in the straight, OUTBACK PRIDE (A. Best) hung in.

TIME FOR INDI (R. Goltz) was slow to begin.

For a considerable distance after the 1100m, LAREDO (A. Best), which was racing keenly, raced tight inside PUKEKURA BOY (J. Hoopert).

Approaching the 1000m, BOOTS STAY ON commenced to race keenly and was steadied away from the heels of SANDY VIEW (N. Evans) near the 900m.

Nearing the 500m, SANDY VIEW was awkwardly placed close to the heels of HIDDEN DANCER (S. Bogenhuber) and endeavoured to shift out, making heavy contact with DEFY ALL ODDS (A. Taylor), and in the straight near the 200m SANDY VIEW was steadied and shifted out when disappointed for a run between DEFY ALL ODDS and HIDDEN DANCER, which shifted out slightly.
