1 | 1 | BUMPER BUMPER (CD025) | S Dye | -- | Bumped at the start, settled on fence in 3rd 3Ls or 4Ls off the speed from 1200 M to 600 M out, improved to 1L down in 3rd off home turn, slipped up inner to lead 150 M out, pulled clear. |
2 | 3 | KONRAD THE GREAT (CB059) | G Mosse | SR | Checked at the jump, one from rear on fence when 9Ls off pace at 1200 M, still in 11th place when 5Ls down and 3-wide turning for home, ran on strongly to claim 2nd in final strides. |
3 | 8 | FORTUNE BOY (CC378) | D Dunn | B | Led by 1L on fence at 1200 M, over-raced early on and tended to hang out throughout, still 1L clear turning for home, headed by winner 150 M out, run out of 2nd place final strides. |
4 | 5 | COSMO SUCCESS (CC250) | D Whyte | -- | Troublesome in barriers, on fence in 6th 4Ls or 5Ls off the speed from 1200 M to 600 M out, 3Ls down in 6th off final bend, ran on at same pace, always looked booked for a place at best. |
5 | 11 | DESERT STRIKE (CB054) | R Fradd | SR | About 8Ls off the pace and 2-wide in 10th from the 1200 M to 600 M out, forced 5-wide turning for home when 5Ls down in 10th, ran on fairly well late on. |
6 | 10 | LUCKY SUPERSTAR (CA270) | H K Yim | -- | In rear 9Ls or 10Ls off pace and 2-wide from 1200 M to 600 M, last and widest of all (6-wide) turning for home when 6Ls off speed, made a little late headway. |
7 | 4 | CORAJOSO (CB230) | G Schofield | SR/H | On fence 6Ls or 7Ls behind the leader in 9th at 1200 M and same at 600 M, 4Ls down in 9th off home turn, well held and only staying on at same pace when steadied a little 150 M. |
8 | 2 | REWARD (BV116) | D Boeuf | BO | Couldn't lead, tended to hang in and raced in snatches in 2nd place 2-wide and 1L off pace from 1200 M until turning for home, dropped away markedly through final 300 M. |
9 | 9 | GREEN VACATION (CB411) | W M Lai | B | Bumped at start and 1400 M out, 4Ls or 5Ls off pace from 1200 M to 600 M when 2-wide in 7th place, short of room from home turn to 200 M, found very little under pressure. |
10 | 6 | GLORIOUS LIGHT (CC115) | Y T Cheng | -- | 3Ls off pace in 4th when 2-wide at 1200 M and 2Ls down and 2-wide when hemmed in by weakening REWARD in front and SUCCESSFUL SPIRIT outside, swamped once clear at 200 M. |
11 | 12 | EUPHORIC KID (CB165) | W Smith | B | Slowest away, raced and 2 and 3-wide with cover in midfield between 5Ls and 7Ls off the speed until 600 M out, 3Ls down and 4-wide into stretch, soon emptied out. |
12 | 7 | SUCCESSFUL SPIRIT (BV226) | F Coetzee | B/TT | Awkwardly away, caught 3-wide without cover from 1300 M out when 4Ls off pace in 5th, improved to 1L off pace in 3rd at 600 M, struggling to hold position into straight, faded out. |
