Horse No 5 IVY LEAGUE (H116) C L Chau Held up making the Home Turn.
On straightening improved to take a narrow run to the inside of EIGHTEEN PALMS which lay in when giving ground, resulting in IVY LEAGUE being crowded after the 250 Metres.

Horse No 6 CHAIN OF GOLD (J138) K Teetan Jumped only fairly and then was hampered when bumped by NOBLE PURSUIT which shifted out.
After the 1500 Metres was awkwardly placed on the heels of NOBLE PURSUIT as it was being shifted in to obtain a position behind that runner.
Horse No 8 EIGHTEEN PALMS (H033) H Bentley After the event, H Bentley reported that when placed under pressure in the Home Straight his mount gave ground quickly, lay in and when he was concerned there may be something amiss with the horse, he did not fully test it out over the concluding stages.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
The performance of EIGHTEEN PALMS, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable.
Before being allowed to race again, EIGHTEEN PALMS will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
Horse No 9 GLORIOUS JOURNEY (J137) M Chadwick Jumped awkwardly.

As a result, I CAN became momentarily unbalanced.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Recap by phillip woo
After circling the field from towards the rear to sit third without cover 600m out, favourite Noble Pursuit took control 60m out for a fourth career win at his 11th start. It was a good performance. Punted late, I Can found one just too good after taking off at the 850m following a wide trip without cover to eventually lead 200m out. He's a winner waiting to happen after catching the eye in two runs from outside draws this term. Chain Of Gold ran on nicely for third after making his run two from the rear. It was a solid effort carrying 10 pounds more following a win. Red Majesty stayed on well for fourth after a handy run. It was a good run following a second 14 days ago in an easier class. Glorious Journey ran on from towards the rear without threatening. He might not be far off a bottom. Samarkand only plodded after working forward three deep to track the speed from a tricky gate. The well-backed Greenwich was on his tippy toes 150m out after crossing to lead 1,200m out from a wide draw. He was trying both the Valley and the mile for the first time.
