1 2 SO FAST (S419) V Cheminaud H/P Pushed forward from the kick to lead, and set slower early pace. Didn't look to have a lot early in the straight, but kicked clear of only challenger from the 150m and ridden to the wire.
2 3 MIDNIGHT RATTLER (T371) J Moreira -- Broke well and taken up to be well placed just behind the early leaders, on the fence. Took on leader from the 400m, but never got closer than 1/2L. Lost touch late and just held off fast finishers to hold 2nd.
3 8 PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT (S420) R Moore H-/B2 Began well and taken forward to be handily placed in 4th, on the rail. Looked to be full of horse on the turn, and got a clear run on the rails from the 300m. Ran on OK, but never kicked in the run home.
4 13 SOUL ACHIEVER (S133) K Teetan CP-/V1/TT1 Broke fairly from inside draw to be placed midfield, on the rail. Held up early in the straight and forced a run through from 200m. Ran well to the line, and just missed a place late.
5 14 HAPPY AGILITY (T184) S De Sousa CP Pushed forward from the wider gate to be placed just forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Ran on well early in the straight and well placed until peaking 100m and running only fairly from there.
6 6 LUCKY SCEPTER (N174) B Prebble V/XB/TT Fairly away and dropped back early to sit at the rear of the field. Awkward on heels 900m. Briefly on heels at 300m, but only ran to the line fairly after.
7 7 GREAT TREASURE (T380) D Whyte H1 Began awkwardly and then crowed before eventually settling towards the rear of the field, on the fence. Only plugged away in the straight.
8 4 MASSIVE MILLENNIUM (T381) R Fourie TT Began awkwardly and lost ground, before recovering to sit just worse than midfield, on the rail. Battled to the line fairly, and struggled to make up ground in the straight.
9 10 DASHING SUPER (N348) Y T Cheng V/TT Pushed forward from the wide draw to eventually share the lead, 1 off the fence. Faded from the 350m, and dropped back through the field from there.
10 5 NUMERO UNO (S044) C Schofield B/TT Dropped back early to sit last, 1 off the fence. Came widest on the turn and only ran on fairly when asked in the straight. Struggled to make up ground, and only beat home a couple easing out.
11 1 LOTUS BREEZE (T112) G Benoist XB/TT Drew widest and dropped back from the kick to eventually be towards the rear of the field, 3 wide. Came wide around the turn, and kicked initially before peaking at the 300m and easing out late.
