1 1 SPEEDING MOLLY (CC227) D Whyte SR 3-back the fence 3Ls off pace in 6th at 1200 M, 2-wide and same margin back in midfield off home turn, quickened up nicely to lead 150 M out, pushed out.
2 4 BULLISH GENERAL (CD034) F Coetzee TT Led out 2-wide by a neck at 1200 M, same margin clear turning for home, headed by winner at 150 M, comfortably held onto 2nd.
3 2 GOLD SANDFIELD (CD054) G Mosse B/TT 4Ls off speed in 8th at 1200 M, no better off making home turn, ran on fairly well late for a place.
4 6 DESERT STORM (CA048) S Sanders TT 6Ls behind in 10th at 1200 M when 2-wide, a little closer turning for home and 3Ls down in midfield at 200 M, one- paced closing stages.
5 5 FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) B Prebble B 3-wide without cover when a neck behind in 2nd at 1200 M, 2-wide and about half a length 2nd from 800 M to home straight, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, weakened close home.
6 9 ELITE WIN (CA300) G Schofield B 3-wide with cover when 4Ls behind in 7th at 1200 M, similarly placed off home turn but held up until 150 M out when switching inside into clear running, closed off okay but much too late.
7 10 HARRY HARRY (CD019) R Fradd H 8Ls behind when 2-wide in 13th at 1200 M, still towards rear when 5-wide (widest of all) on straightening, posed no danger to principals.
8 13 KING OF SPADES (CC056) S K Sit B Slowly away, 8Ls behind in 12th on fence at 1200 M, under pressure when 3-wide and 6Ls last entering homestretch, always outpaced.
9 14 SWEETIE (CB036) H W Lai B/TT 2-wide and between 2Ls and 3Ls off pace in 4th or 5th from 1200 M to home turn, very one-paced from then on.
10 11 KNIGHT TEMPLAR (CC021) Y T Cheng P-/V2 3-wide without cover when 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1200 M to home straight entrance, soon faded.
11 3 FRIENDS FOREVER (CD245) M W Leung B Very ungainly action while box-seating on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 1200 M, hard pressed to hold this position at final bend, weakened right out.
12 7 STRONG GALLOP (CC236) C Williams SR1/TT 5Ls off speed when 3-wide in 9th at 1200 M, 4-wide no cover from 800 M to home straight when 3Ls down in midfield, all out when 3Ls back in 5th at 200 M, dropped away quickly.
13 12 SHINING LIGHT (CD119) M Rodd B 7Ls behind when 2-wide at 1200 M, worse than midfield still when 4-wide entering straight, very weak thereafter.
