1 7 NICKU (CK389) M L Yeung TT No early speed, raced 5ls or so back on rails, enjoyed an easy trip, gained inside split turning and closed race off too well despite shifting late.
2 1 LUCKY CHEVALIER (M113) Z Purton SR/TT Assumed a spot just in front of midfield on rails, had all favours in run, angled wider turning in and closed off well despite a slight bump to just miss.
3 8 WATCH FIRST (CL160) G Mosse B Reserved at the tail of the field, had to switch out for clear run turning in, closed off well when clear 200M.
4 9 EAST OCEAN (CK340) U Rispoli CP Ended up racing behind midfield, 6ls or so back in running line, closed race off evenly towards inside to make frame.
5 5 CASA JUNIOR (M366) R Fourie B Took up a position in midfield, 4ls or so back, not asked in mid-section, switched out and just battled on at same speed without looking likely.
6 6 PRECISION MAGIC (CJ262) T Clark B/TT No early pace, settled amongst last few, tempo suited, well back turning, took inside runs and closed off well to be nearest on line.
7 10 POLYGOLD (CK309) D Whyte CP Ended up back with last few, 8ls or so away, aided by tempo but still a long way back turning, passed a few in run home.
8 4 DYNAMIC CROSS (CL426) W C Marwing B Showed speed to cross and lead, set decent tempo early, there until 200m but offered little thereafter.
9 2 GOOD LOOKING WATCH (CL278) T Angland B/TT Failed to muster, settled near to rear 9ls or so away, tempo helped but asked for a 3 wide effort from 600m, swung wide, passed only tired ones.
10 12 MASTER RACER (M278) C W Wong H-/B Caught wide from a tricky alley, pressed on to race outside leader, workload too toll approaching turn, dropped out.
11 11 SILENT DEMAND (M415) M Chadwick B/TT Crossed to be prominent before assuming 1 out 1 back role, began to weaken approaching turn, folded tamely thereafter.
12 3 FASTALOT (CL376) N Callan H/B2/TT Took a nice spot behind leader, even run despite early speed, struggly turning and didn't see out journey.
