2 6 BUDDY BUDDIES (CM021) O Doleuze B Restrained in midfield, saved ground along the fence, stayed on well to go 2nd 100M but never looked like bridging the gap on winner.
3 10 LUCKY HAMMER (P417) T Berry B-/TT Held up behind mid-division, shaken up 500M from home, did best work final 200M for a non-threatening 3rd.
4 9 INVICTUS (N282) C Reith B/XB Stayed within striking distance throughout, kept on evenly entering straight but never a serious threat to first two.
5 14 EXPEDITE (N111) M Du Plessis H/P/XB Soon in front under positive riding, was challenged for the lead entering back-straight, headed near 250M, no extra final 100M and weakened to 5th.

9 3 GOLDEN ADDICTION (P234) J Moreira P Rushed forward from draw 10, chased leaders along the 3-path, made his bid 700M out, briefly led nearing home straight but run ended 250M and weakened towards finish.
9 11 WINNING APEX (N128) C K Tong P-/B2 Towards the rear but never really travelled, detached from main group 600M out, niggled along and only began to pick up final 200M, made some progress without threatening.
