1 1 SUPREME COMMANDER (CJ112) D Whyte -- Quickly into stride, drifted back to take up a midfield spot 5Ls off the pace, used little in running, picked up very well under hands and heels and had the race won 100 M out. A comfortable victory.
2 5 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) O Doleuze B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
3 11 ZERO GRAVITY (CH037) H W Lai TT Good start from the inside barrier, rolled forward to lead at a moderate tempo, travelled well enough going into straight but unable to shrug off the field, collared near 150 M.
4 14 TIMBER CITY (CC031) M L Yeung B Average beginning, pressed on to race alongside leader under a moderate tempo, had every chance in straight but unable to find extra gear, just held ground in run to line.
5 10 CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) C K Tong B/TT Away with them, taken to a spot better than midfield about 3Ls back, had a smooth trip throughout, not able to quicken under pressure, finished off the race one-paced.
6 6 NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) F Coetzee CP- Away fairly, taken to a forward position just behind leaders, travelled well along rails and suited by speed, boxed-in on straightening, into clear 350 M but couldn't find extra under a forceful ride, just held ground to line.
7 7 CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) B Doyle CP Jumped OK, gradually taken back to a rearward position 8Ls back, switched wide to challenge, made slight progress from well back, hung out in run to line.
8 12 PLEASURE PLEASURE (CD271) M Du Plessis B/TT Nice break, difficult to settle in early stages, rolled on to the front racing prominently behind leaders, unable to go with them under pressure and just plugged away to line.
9 9 SO NICE (CG110) P H Lo CP/H Taken back on jumping, raced along the fence about 6Ls behind leader, hung out in running and difficult to be restrained, switched to outside on straightening but found little under pressure.
10 3 SURE GAIN (CJ038) B Prebble XB1 Blundered on jumping, soon recovered and settled towards the rear 10Ls back, came to extreme outside on straightening, made very little progress and beat tired runners only.
11 2 GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) Z Purton -- Reasonable jump, slotted into a position worse than midfield, 7Ls to make up on turn, had little to give and faded towards the line.
12 4 DECENT FELLOW (CH021) D Beadman V/TT Quick start, gradually drifted back, ended up racing 9Ls behind leaders, unable to offer a finish in straight and was beaten a long way.
13 13 PLENTY OF TALENT (CE329) S K Sit B/TT Lacked early speed and was hard ridden to maintain a position in mid-division, didn't relax throughout the trip, under pressure on turning, dropped out quickly inside 300 M.
14 8 HOT SUN (CJ005) G Mosse XB Very slow to begin and lost ground, regathered to race in a rearward position wide and without cover, dropped out rapidly in straight as early hard run took toll.
