1 1 RUM SHOT (CE206) Y T Cheng B Always travelled well about 2Ls off the speed in 2nd or 3rd from 1000 M to home straight, eased to the front at 250 M out, driven clear, commandingly.
2 2 SYDNEY EXPRESS (CG052) A Delpech -- 3Ls down in 4th on fence at 1100 M, a little closer when turning for home, 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, never going to catch winner but still stayed on well for 2nd.
3 5 BEST POWER (CG006) S Dye -- 8Ls off pace in 9th when 2-wide at 1100 M, 4-wide (widest of all) when 4Ls back in 9th taking home turn and bumped at 300 M twice, stayed on well out wide, never nearer.
4 11 EVER KING (CE147) D Whyte H/TT Awkward break, 4Ls down in 6th on fence at 1100 M, bumped twice at top of home when switching out 4Ls off pace in midfield, kept on fairly well without threatening quinella pair.
5 4 MILITARY OPTION (CD237) C Soumillon -- Bounded at start, on fence 6Ls back in 8th at 1100 M, 4Ls down in midfield on fence off final bend, 2Ls down in 5th at 200 M, one-paced thereafter.
6 6 SIXTY SECONDS (CB177) C K Tong -- 10Ls off speed in 11th at 1200 M, 3-wide no cover from 800 M, 7Ls behind taking home turn, made some modest late ground, nearest at the close.
7 3 KONRAD THE GREAT (CB059) C Munce V 10Ls down in 10th at 1200 M, 7Ls back in 10th at home straight entrance, 3Ls back in mid-div at 200 M, tight for room inside final 50 M but never really dangerous anyway.
8 10 RIGHT CHOICE (CE102) G Schofield -- 4Ls down in 7th when 2-wide at 1100 M, 3-wide on final bend when 3Ls down in 5th and 2Ls back at the 200 M, one-paced thereafter.
9 12 TABBRIS (CB088) C Brown B/TT Led by 1 to 2Ls from 1000 M to home straight, headed at 250 M out, weakened quickly.
10 9 ELFHELM (CC342) H W Lai B 12Ls last at 1100 M, 8Ls last off home turn, never a factor.
11 8 KING OF WIN (CD395) B Prebble B 3-wide no cover when 2Ls down in 3rd at 1100 M, got in 2-wide 1000 M, under pressure at 500 M to stay 2Ls down in 3rd, weakened rapidly from top of stretch and eased final 200 M.
12 7 AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT (CG001) R Fradd -- 3Ls down in 5th when 2-wide at 1100 M, 4Ls back at 800 M in 5th, lost position on the circle and very weak in home straight. (Heart Irregularity.)
