After being stalled, ESTEBAN (App. Avinash Paswan, dr.6) ducked the front gates. As such, Trainer Narendra Lagad has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the gelding to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, AMERICAN EAGLE (S. Mosin, dr.2) jumped, veered out and had to be steadied. As such, Trainer Shazaan Shah has been asked to give his charge more gate practice and show the filly to the satisfaction of the Starter at morning starting trials, before next accepting to race.

At the start, ESTEBAN (App. Avinash Paswan, dr.6) jumped outwards, at the same time DARCY (Umesh, dr.8) jumped inwards due to which NEPTUNE (App. Ramswarup, dr.7) drawn between them was tightened for room.

Approaching the 1000 metres, SON OF A GUN (A. Prakash) leaned inwards onto ADMIRABLE (Neeraj Rawal) who in turn shifted in and made contact with SKANDHA (App. A. Omkar) causing the latter to be checked. Jockey A. Prakash has been cautioned.

In the final stages of the race, LIBAN (K. Nazil) weakened and thereafter leaned out thereby carrying STORM CLOUD (J. Chinoy) outwards. Jockey K. Nazil has been cautioned.
