2 11 STRATEGIC SELECT (CB133) Y T Cheng B 3-wide without cover in 8th when 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, got cover from 1000 M out, 5Ls down in 7th at 800 M, 5-wide into straight when 3Ls down, led 200 M out, caught final strides.
3 9 FORTUNE DANCER (BS081) R Fradd V-/P2 12Ls off pace on fence in rear at 1200 M, 8Ls down in rear at 800 M and 5Ls down off final bend, staying on well when 3Ls down in midfield at 200 M, kept on strongly, just failed.
4 6 EXPLOSIVE POWER (BV129) F Coetzee -- 2Ls off the pace on fence in 4th at 1200 M, 3Ls down in 4th at 800 M, half a length off pace in 2nd at top of stretch and led briefly 250 M out, soon headed, no extra through final 150 M out.
5 7 SUGAR AND SPICE (CA176) K T Yeung B 2-wide and 1L off the speed in 3rd at 1200 M, 2Ls down in 3rd at 800 M, roughly the same distance off pace but in 5th or 6th entering straight and at 200 M, always too one-paced to line.
6 5 FREEBIRD (CC319) D Boeuf SR/CO Hung out 1600 M out, 3-wide without cover to half a length 2nd at 1200 M and at 800 M, same distance off pace and 3-wide in 3rd into straight, a neck down at 200 M, faded final 200 M.

9 4 SMART CHIEF (CC042) G Mosse B 2-wide and 11Ls off pace and one from rear 1200 M out, hard driven 600 M out when 3-wide and 6Ls off pace in rear bunch, never looked like troubling leaders.
