1 2 DOMINEER (P366) Z Purton H Pressed forward from inside draw to lead on settling. Set quick quarters to straight, kicked clear 350m, never challenged.
2 4 BEST ELEVEN (N016) A Suborics B/TT Began well, holding box seat. Scraped paint around turn, kept on steadily in straight but unable close gap to winner.
3 6 SMART MAN (P103) J Moreira B/H/XB/TT Ridden among to hold forward position two-back, one-off. Taken a little wide in straight but boxed on gamely to just miss the quinella.
4 3 GREAT SPIRIT (P037) M Demuro -- Ridden along from wide draw and raced three and four wide around turn. Widest into straight but kept on gamely to be closest at the finish.
5 7 ENSEMBLE (P249) A Atzeni B/TT Jumped best before settling one-back, one-off behind leader to straight. Made forward move 350m but effort was short lived. One-paced.
6 8 JAZZY FEELING (P149) U Rispoli H/SR/TT Slow into stride, taken to fence and quickly made up ground to settle 4-back from leader. Stayed on fence around turn and kept on fairly in straight.
7 9 PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) N Callan TT Bumped start, ridden along to hold rail 3-back from leader. Not much room in straight and held for clear running final stages. Not properly tested.
8 10 RAINBOW FIGHTER (N193) M Chadwick XB/TT Shifted across early, racing between horses towards the rear. Not much room top of straight but only one-paced when clear.
9 5 HAPPY YEAH YEAH (M085) M L Yeung V Began only fairly and then severely checked, dropping to clear last. Crowded 550 when attempting to improve. One-paced.
10 1 MY NAME IS BOND (M287) B Prebble -- Got off well but crowed out 950m and then difficult to settle in midfield. Hung out final stages when giving ground.
11 11 SILLY BUDDIES (S054) K Teetan P Ridden along early to hold midfield position but kept wide without cover. Lost position around turn and never likely.
