1 4 MEMBERS GLORY (CB325) G Schofield B 5Ls behind when 2-wide in 6th at 1400 M, pressed on out 3-wide no cover at 900 M to lead at 600 M, 2Ls clear at top of stretch and at 200 M, comfortable win after an enterprising ride.
2 2 CHALLENGER (CE138) S Sanders B/TT Head up at start and lost ground, 8Ls back on fence in 10th at 1400 M, about 4Ls or 5Ls back in midfield from 800 M to stretch, no chance with winner, stayed on well to easily snare quinella.
3 5 BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) C Soumillon V On fence about 6Ls back in 7th at 1400 M, 2-wide at 800 M when steadied and 4Ls down in mid-division, 5Ls back on straightening, stayed on fairly well but never likely to figure in quinella.
4 1 ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) W M Lai -- 4Ls down in 5th on fence at 1400 M, under pressure in midfield about same margin behind on straightening, always outpaced by leading trio.
5 13 SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) H W Lai SB- 8Ls down in 12th when 2-wide at 1400 M, 5Ls back in 12th at 800 M, under pressure on straightening when 6Ls down, never dangerous.
6 14 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) A Delpech B 7Ls behind lead in 9th when 2-wide at 1400 M, took closer order to be 3Ls down in midfield at 800 M, 5Ls down and hard ridden in 10th at final bend, plugged on modestly past tired rivals.
7 12 LEGIONNAIRE (CD263) F Coetzee CP-/TT Had the run of the race 2Ls off speed in 3rd or 4th down backstretch, all out when over 2Ls down in 2nd at final bend and at 200 M, faded late. (Blood in trachea.)
8 3 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) G Mosse B-/TT 3-wide but with cover when 8Ls down in 11th at 1400 M, 4-wide no cover on circle when 4Ls down in midfield, 5-wide (widest of all) taking home bend, posed little threat.
9 8 BEST CHOICE (CE038) S Dye B Fractious in gates and much the slowest away by 5Ls, 10Ls last at 1400 M, 7Ls behind in rear at 800 M and taking final bend, never dangerous but never had much room on the run-in either.
10 10 DURABLE (CE190) C K Tong -- Led by 1L on fence at 1800 M, same margin ahead at 800 M, headed at 600 M, faded out from top of home straight.
11 7 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) C Munce P-/V2 9Ls behind and one from rear at 1400 M, 7Ls last at home turn, always behind.
12 11 WATCHMAN (CB327) D Whyte B/SR 2-wide and 1L behind in 2nd at 1400 M, a neck back in 2nd at 800 M and under pressure when 3Ls down in 4th at home bend, faded rapidly.
13 6 NATURAL ECHO (CB326) O Doleuze B 2-wide and 3Ls off pace in 4th at 1400 M, niggled along on circle to maintain prominent position, 4Ls down in 5th entering straight, soon well beaten.
14 9 ACCELERATION (CD400) C W Wong -- Always 3-wide no cover despite being drawn in gate 3, 6Ls back in 8th at 1400 M and closer 3Ls down in 6th at 800 M, struggling to lie up at 600 M, gone before home turn.
