1 6 RISE HIGH (A238) R Bayliss XB Dropped back from wide barrier, in last 9Ls off the pace on settling, closed off strongly on outside, got there in last stride.
2 5 WHAT ELSE BUT YOU (A136) Z Purton PC Held up 2-wide in midfield, travelled well behind leaders early straight, driven out 300M, led from mid-straight just couldn't withstand winner's run late stages, headed in last stride.
3 2 DINOZZO (V246) G van Niekerk B/TT Reserved near last 7-8Ls off the good pace on settling, finished off nicely final 300M to go 3rd near line, couldn't reel in first two.
4 3 PINGWU SPARK (A262) K C Leung B/XB Never far off, 3rd chasing leaders home turn, moved up 3-wide vying for lead 500M, held narrow lead early straight, outsprinted final 200M.
5 1 SEASONS BLOOM (V410) A Sanna TT Crowded for room on jumping, settled down behind midfield 6Ls off the good pace, ran on without menacing.
6 7 MORETHANLUCKY (A039) K Teetan B Tracked leader in a fast run race, moved up to joint leader 500M, battled on to 150M, faded towards the line.
7 4 SIMPLY BRILLIANT (B090) S De Sousa H/XB Didn't show sufficient early speed, raced in midfield further back than hoped, flat footed from 600M, took time to muster speed, ran past a couple late but was never in the reckoning.
8 9 GOOD STANDING (B105) M Chadwick B Always within 4Ls from leader, in 4th spot making home turn, kept on fairly in the straight, no extra late. (Blood in trachea / RF heel overreach injury).
9 8 CALIFORNIA WHIP (A114) K C Ng B/H/TT Sped to the lead, set good pace early and middle stages, taken on by rival 500M, headed early straight, faded final 200M to finish last.
