1 7 BRILLIANT ONE (CG212) W M Lai -- Jumped well. Elected to sit 2-wide behind midfield from first turn. Swung 5-wide and was 3Ls down turning into home. Rallied on and dominated final 100 M.
2 3 FORTUNE SPIRIT (CK102) J Lloyd B/TT Crowded for room at start. Taken to rear on fence from first turn. Took some time to shift out for clear run top of home straight. Did the best work inside final 250 M to snatch 2nd at post.
3 2 NATURAL FLAME (CK016) B Prebble B Well enough away and held the fence making first turn. Elected to sit prominently from approaching the Rock. Every chance in the straight but found the winner too strong final 150 M. Hung on for 2nd until last stride.
4 11 GALACTIC TACTIC (CH095) S K Sit -- Worked early in leading section but couldn't cross. Ended up 3-wide in midfield passing 1000 M. Forced to go widest and was 3 to 4Ls away rounding home turn. Kept on fairly well.
5 5 SUNSHINE BOY (CJ281) M L Yeung B/H Quickly into stride but was trapped 3-wide making first turn. Shifted 2-wide behind the pace group from 800 M. Well positioned to strike in the straight but lacked the finishing touch of the principals.
6 6 LINKED WIN (CL042) O Doleuze B Slow to begin but was soon driven to race 2-wide ahead of midfield. Took inside run leaving the bend but found traffic until 200 M. One-paced to conclude when clear.
7 9 KIMBER FORTUNE (CK162) G Cheyne TT Shaken up after start but didn't quite muster. Rolled to a 2-wide spot towards rear from first turn. Some improvement passing 450 M but was held up top of home straight. Just ran on thereafter.
8 10 GLENEALY VIKING (CK174) M W Leung -- Hard ridden early from high draw but was caught wide. Under pressure until leading one-off the fence approaching home turn. Still in front early home straight. Headed final furlong.
9 4 FUN (CH282) D Whyte -- Pressed early but was trapped 4-wide. Urged along and eventually settled on fence behind pace 600 M out. No extra final 200 M.
10 1 BLEDISLOE (CK073) W C Marwing B/TT Always behind midfield. Never nearer.
11 12 SONOFTHEWEST (CL063) M Du Plessis B/TT Towards rear always. Never in the hunt.
12 8 WHITE DRAGON (CK401) K W Leung -- Travelled wide and without cover with leaders before dropped out 300 M from home.
