1 6 ROUND THE WORLD (CA227) W Woods -- Broke awkwardly and lost about 3Ls at start, travelled well settling 6 to 7Ls off pace on rails until straight, got a split between horses 250 M out to smoothly grab lead, driven out.
2 11 STRATEGIC MOVE (BP233) M W Leung B Enjoyed the run of the race in 3rd 2Ls off pace and on fence until 600 M out, short of room from 400 M to 200 M, ran on well final 200 M but no chance of catching winner.
3 4 EXPLOSIVE POWER (BV129) F Coetzee -- Away well and sent on to lead on rails, was hassled for the lead by ZABETTE throughout, overhauled by winner 250 M out but stuck on resolutely, albeit a little one-paced, for 3rd.
4 1 NEW PLANET (CA037) H K Yim B Drifted back, tagged onto field again to race 2-wide about 5 or 6Ls off pace 1200 M out, off bridle 600 M out but responded to pressure, blocked for a run 300 M, ran on strongly final 200 M.
5 10 SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) W C Marwing B1/SR1 Sent on to settle in 6th place about 4Ls off early pace racing 2-wide, improved on bend to race 3-wide 2Ls off lead, battled on gamely in straight though a bit one-paced.
6 8 THE RICH MAN (BS130) S Dye B Raced 3-wide about 5Ls off early pace, forced quite wide turning in, not really threaten final 300 M, one-paced.
7 2 MULTIZEN (BV340) A Marcus B Raced 2-wide early on in midfield before slipping onto rails 3Ls off pace 800 M out, hard ridden entering straight, short of room 350 M out but not come on final stages when clear. (Lame.)
8 12 CYBER GULCH (BV300) D Dunn B Held up towards rear, held rails 6Ls off pace 1200 M out, travelled well on straightening, very short of room on inside rail in straight, gab appeared much too late.
9 9 FAT CHOY TOGETHER (BN082) G Mosse B Ridden on exiting and 8Ls off early speed, improved from 1200 M out racing 4-wide to get within 1L of lead turning in but under heavy pressure, faded from 300 M out.
10 14 TREMENDOUS WAY (BN106) S K Sit -- Not break well but held up to settle a long way off pace in rear, 7Ls off pace 1000 M out, moderate level of improvement in straight, never nearer.
11 3 VICTORY DRUM (BT006) D Whyte B Settled in 3rd last place 7Ls off speed, slight improvement on bend racing 3 and 4-wide, found nothing in home straight.
12 5 HIGH HILL FOREST (CA158) J Egan B1 Never better than 2 or 3-wide or closer than 4Ls to lead, brief effort turning in out wide but no chance after 350 M out.
13 13 ZABETTE (BV031) K C Tsang -- Sent on to duel with EXPLOSIVE POWER for the lead racing 2-wide, under heavy pressure but still in 2nd place 300 M out, dropped out very quickly thereafter.
14 7 MALAYAN PEARL (BT037) E Legrix B/TT Raced 2-wide in 4th 2Ls off lead, under pressure turning in though still in contention turning in, soon very laboured and finished in own time.
