Jumped awkwardly and then shortly after was crowded between SNOWALOT and UNITED ENDEAVORS which shifted out. Near the 600 Metres was bumped by YEAH BUDDY which lay in. After the event, J McDonald stated that whilst he had expected to take up a forward position, it was not his intention to lead. He said after obtaining the lead in the early stages HARMONY GALAXY was disadvantaged by being pressured in the lead in the middle stages when YEAH BUDDY went forward. He said as a consequence HARMONY GALAXY gave ground in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
