Out in line, positioned 2 wide slightly better than midfield, peaked 350M, weakened gradually in straight. (See Racing Incidents.)

Incident Report
Jumped awkwardly. Bumped shortly after the start. In the early stages raced keenly.

After improving to the inside of AEROINVINCIBLE passing the 150 Metres then raced tight between AEROINVINCIBLE and BEAUTY GLORY which shifted out slightly, resulting in AMAZING GAZE making contact with AEROINVINCIBLE and not being able to be ridden out to the finish of the event.

Incident Report
Shortly after the start was bumped by AEROINVINCIBLE which was taken in by RAGGA BOMB. Near the 1100 Metres shifted out towards CALIFORNIA BANNER when racing keenly and as a result was steadied. Between the 350 Metres and the 250 Metres had difficulty obtaining clear running when attempting to shift to the outside of BEAUTY GLORY. K C Leung reported that it was not the intention to hold a forward position but as his mount has a tendency to be slow to begin, he ensured that it jumped well tonight and this resulted in the horse holding a more forward position than expected.

Began well from gate 1, positioned 1-1/2L behind the leader on the inside, same position on turn, kept on well until approaching final 50M, weakened thereafter.

Near the 300 Metres was bumped by LESLIE when that runner shifted out, resulting in RAGGA BOMB then racing in restricted room between BULL ATTITUDE and LESLIE for a short distance thereafter. Between the 200 Metres and the 100 Metres raced tight between BULL ATTITUDE which lay in and LESLIE which was racing tight to the outside of AMAZING GAZE.
