1 | 11 | ZERUBBABEL (CB418) | F Coetzee | B2 | Bit keen very early on, always about 1L off pace in 2nd and 2-wide through to 600 M out, led 400 M out, 2Ls clear at the 200 M, ran on strongly. |
2 | 13 | DIVINE FEELING (CA355) | D Dunn | B | 2-wide and 10Ls off the pace 1000 M out, 3-wide into home straight when 5Ls off pace, switched out wider 300 M out, 3Ls down at the 200 M, kept on well to nick 2nd place on the line. |
3 | 1 | ON THE TEE (CB052) | W C Marwing | SR | 4Ls off pace and 3-wide with cover until 1200 M out, left without cover thereafter, 4-wide into straight when 2Ls down, no chance with winner but kept on gamely, lost 2nd on line. |
4 | 3 | CHATER LANE (CB339) | M Cahill | SR | 2-wide and 8Ls off the speed 1200 M out, 5-wide into home straight when 4Ls off the pace, 3Ls down at the 200 M, just missed out on a place. |
5 | 10 | DASH FOR VICTORIES (CB389) | B Prebble | V1 | A little keen when 3-wide without cover and 1L off pace until 1200 M out, got in 2-wide with cover from then on, 3-wide into home straight when 1L down, kept on at same pace. |
6 | 12 | JUST TOO GOOD (CB150) | G Schofield | V | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls or 3Ls off pace down back straight, 1L down on the swing, all out at the 200 M, one-paced closing stages. (Mucus in trachea.) |
7 | 7 | GREAT SENSATION (CB143) | Y T Cheng | -- | Crossed from wide gate to fence, 11Ls off pace 1000 M out, in rear 6Ls off pace into straight, 3Ls down on fence when steadied when disappointed for running 300 M out, didn't recover. (See Racing Incidents.) |
8 | 4 | FABULOUS (CA152) | R Fradd | -- | On fence 8Ls off pace 1200 M out, 4Ls down into home straight, didn't have a clear passage and was never fully extended in straight, wouldn't have won but was unlucky not to be placed. |
9 | 9 | FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) | S K Sit | -- | Very awkwardly away losing at least 3Ls, 11Ls off pace and 2-wide 1000 M out, 6-wide (widest of all) into home straight and 5Ls down, always too one-paced on the run-in. |
10 | 5 | RICARDO (CB419) | S Dye | -- | Bit keen out 2-wide and 4Ls off the pace 1200 M out, similarly placed but under strong pressure to lie up 600 M out, 3-wide into home straight, faded steadily. |
11 | 2 | EXCEPTIONAL (BT183) | D Whyte | B | 2-wide and 5Ls off the pace 1200 M out, 4-wide into home straight when 4Ls off the speed, steadied when crowded for room at the 200 M, didn't recover. |
12 | 8 | LOK WAH SUCCESS (CB408) | H K Yim | B-/TT | On fence 10Ls off the pace 1000 M out, 2-wide into home straight when 5Ls down, never got into it. |
13 | 14 | NAOMERIC TE SPECSO (CC093) | K T Yeung | B- | Soon led, never clear by much more than 1L, headed at top of home straight, fading fast when very unbalanced at the 300 M, eased down. |
14 | 6 | BELLAGIO (BT123) | M Walker | B/SR | On fence 5Ls off the pace 1200 M out, slightly closer but under pressure to hold position 500 M out, 2-wide into home straight, retreated quickly. |
