1 | 7 | MEATH (CE143) | F Coetzee | SR/V | Hard ridden early, just managed to hold the rail about midfield, checked 1st bend, favoured by the fast pace and the rail-run, progressed steadily 300 M to score without much trouble. |
2 | 1 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | B Prebble | -- | Eased back, 7Ls off the leader 2-wide, benefited by the fast pace, swept forward 4-wide on straightening, progressed steadily 400 M to finish 2nd. |
3 | 3 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | D Nikolic | CP | Always prominent, 2-1/2Ls behind the leader along the fence, not suited by the fast early sectionals, led briefly 300 M, overhauled 150 M, ran on for 3rd. |
4 | 8 | CAPABILITY (CE094) | M Nunes | CP/TT | Pushed early to hold the rail, worse than midfield, 6Ls behind the leader, helped by the rail-run and the fast tempo, swept forward the middle of track in straight and made ground steadily despite hanging. |
