1 | 2 | HAWKES BAY (CG064) | B Prebble | XB | Bounced out, slotted into ideal spot 1 out 1 back, had dream run with steady tempo, tracked nicely 2 to 3Ls down on bend, went to them easily at 250 M, kept going late for a smart win. |
2 | 8 | FELLOWSHIP (CG292) | O Doleuze | TT | Allowed to drift back from a wide alley, ended up 6Ls back in 2 wide line, overraced when tempo slackened, still well back turning, came to middle and closed race off stoutly taking plenty of ground off winner. |
3 | 10 | FLYING TAMARI (CG151) | G Mosse | -- | Standard jump, ended up 6Ls or so away on rails, harmed by tempo and raced keenly, saved ground on circle, switched out at 400 M and kept closing gradually to snare 3rd. Improved run. |
4 | 4 | SUPREME GAINS (CG057) | D Whyte | SR | Showed no pace from outset, ended up towards rear 7 to 8Ls back, not helped by standard sectionals, raced keenly on circle, near to last taking inside runs turning, made many lengths without clearest passage and not tested late. |
5 | 12 | HORACE'S CHOICE (CH169) | S Dye | -- | Out in line, able to hold a midfield spot 4 to 5Ls back on fence, angled 2 wide on circle, in amongst horses on turn a little awkwardly, closed off evenly making gradual progress without threatening. |
6 | 9 | JADE DRAGONFLY (CE331) | G Boss | BO | Taken back from a wide gate, raced back with last few 7 to 8Ls away, harmed by tempo, set a task on turning, weaved between horses in straight and made plenty of progress without clearest run to be nearest on line. |
7 | 5 | FEARLESS (CH301) | F Coetzee | -- | Little pace from outset, posted 3 wide without cover 6Ls back behind midfield, did share of work to bend, same margin down turning, switched wider and made solid progress down centre. |
8 | 3 | NILOMETER (CD052) | K L Chui | TT | Showed expected turn of foot to take up running, pressured early before slowing pace a touch, under siege throughout and steadied on bend, fought back turning but ran out of petrol last 200 M. Did too much work. |
9 | 7 | TIME SUPREME (CE012) | C K Tong | -- | Stood flat footed and lost considerable ground, raced 10Ls back at rear, not helped when pace slowed, still had field to beat leaving bend, tracked 3 wide and switched to middle, made many lengths from impossible spot. |
10 | 1 | AGILITY (CC361) | Z Purton | XB | Moderate beginning, assumed usual role well off pace, raced 5Ls back in midfield, made a 3 wide run on bend to take closer order from 500 M, didn't let down and battled at same pace last 300 M. |
11 | 14 | ELECTRONICS SPUR (CE285) | H W Lai | XB/TT | Reasonable jump, took a nice position 4Ls back in running line, had no excuses trailing eventual winner in run, close enough turning, didn't have a turn of foot and weakened out tamely. |
12 | 11 | DORDENMA (CE333) | Y T Cheng | XB | Pressed forward from outset, raced outside leader and applied pressure throughout, kept working on circle, still held a narrow leader at 400 M but couldn't dash when they sprinted at 250 M, faded quickly. |
13 | 6 | MAVERICK STAR (CE279) | W M Lai | -- | Even jump, tried to slot in to midfield but caught 3 wide, crept closer without cover to be up outside leaders on circles, under pressure turning in, didn't respond and gradually faded when had run took toll. |
14 | 13 | FANTASTIC DANCER (CJ001) | M Nunes | -- | Began with more purpose, raced 3Ls back on fence, not asked in mid-section, same margin down on turning, hard ridden and failed to respond, very one paced late. |
