1 | 7 | FRENCH CONNECTION (CA384) | K S Yu | -- | Always 2-wide and between 1L and 2Ls off pace through to home straight, led approaching 200 M marker, pushed out. |
2 | 2 | MONEY WINS (BT165) | G Schofield | B | Sat 2-wide 3Ls off pace from 1300 M out to final turn when slightly closer, stayed on gamely on straight but never looked like reeling in the winner. |
3 | 3 | DOLBRIDGE (BS295) | W C Marwing | B | Was on and off the bridle throughout, on fence 3Ls to 4Ls off pace 1000 M out, closer turning for home, stayed on evenly to be nearest at finish. |
4 | 11 | LONGMARK (BT294) | D Whyte | -- | Took immediate lead but only crossed to fence 1000 M out, went 2Ls clear 800 M out, 1L clear on straightening but overhauled by winner 300 M out, no extra and lost 3rd place close home. |
5 | 4 | DIAMOND AND GOLD (BP100) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Settled on fence about 2Ls to 3Ls off pace throughout, good place prospects 200 M out but could only stay on at same pace. |
6 | 10 | ME AND YOU (BT011) | M Cahill | -- | Caught 4-wide 1200 M out when 4Ls off speed, 6Ls down 900 M out, driven to make progress out wide to go 3Ls off leaders entering straight widest of all, stayed on at same pace to line. |
7 | 1 | EPIC EXPRESSION (CB158) | E Legrix | B | On fence 4Ls off pace 1200 M out, 5Ls down and hard driven 600 M out, stayed on again in home stretch without ever posing any threat to principals. |
8 | 9 | HAPPY CHAMP (BS226) | S Dye | B | Raced 2-wide about 4Ls off pace 1300 M out, similarly placed when driven along 600 M out, failed to quicken up. |
9 | 5 | HAPPY FORTUNE (CA307) | R Quinn | -- | Never closer than 4Ls to lead from 1200 M out, always at least 3-wide in the run and very one-paced in straight. |
10 | 12 | TELECOM BABE (CA187) | W M Lai | -- | Caught 4-wide 1300 M out and very awkward around bends passing stands and Football Club, 7Ls off pace in rear and on fence 800 M out, never a factor from then on. |
11 | 8 | NON SEQUITUR (BV093) | F Coetzee | P/H | Raced 3-wide 5Ls off pace 1300 M out, 7Ls behind 800 M out, still struggling entering home straight and became further detached. |
12 | 6 | LASER PRIDE (BS277) | S K Sit | -- | Caught 4-wide 2Ls off pace 1300 M out, 3-wide and 3Ls off lead when started to weaken 600 M out, soon tailed off. (Heart Irregularity.) |
