TOM COLLINS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. TOLTEC over-raced in the early stages. Apprentice Moodley, the rider of SAMSONITE, had his crop accidentally struck from his hand by Apprentice Schwartz, the rider of FRANCESCO, at approximately the 50 metre mark. FRANCESCO was hanging in, in the latter stages. STORM RACER was cramped for galloping room when awkwardly placed between KING'S MUSIC and TOM COLLINS and was forced to ease at approximately the 600 metre mark.
