JEFFREY (Z Khairil) and TAUROS (R Shafiq) both raced wide in the middle stages.
MR CONNERY (J De Souza) was blocked for a clear run passing the 150M.
When questioned regarding his ride on TAUROS in the straight, Jockey R Shafiq advised that TAUROS was a “pick-up” ride and in his opinion, the gelding was resentful of racing in Blinkers. Although riding the gelding positively in the straight, TAUROS had an inclination to hang inwards and he had thus attempted to encourage the gelding by picking it up.

Approaching the 1000M, I AM THE BOSS (App CK Khaw) blundered and shifted out severely, inconveniencing PLACE YOUR BET. I AM THE BOSS then shifted in, crowding HELLO BOSS (R Shafiq) in onto STAR INVINCIBLE.
