1 6 SUPER WINNER (C341) Y L Chung TT Began fast to lead but was unable to cross to rail & raced three wide throughout. Held about a 1L advantage on straightening before finishing too strongly for rivals to go on and way by over 2L.
2 9 M UNICORN (G466) H Bentley H/P/TT Bounded at start before racing third last along the rail. Stayed along the rail on straightening before making continual steady ground to improve to second near the 100m mark & held that placing behind easy winner.
3 5 EVER BLESSING (H187) B Avdulla CP Raced third along the rail but without cover throughout. Shared second place from about the 500m when 1L from the lead, couldn't dash with the leader passing the 250m until being passed for second near the 100m.
4 4 MORE RICE (H271) K Teetan B-/V1 Was bumped heavily, crowded and lost ground at the start before improving after the 900m to race in midfield between runners. Raced tight when looking for room passing 400m, bumped at 275m but then finished only fairly late.
5 8 MR MAJESTIC (G145) L Hewitson CP/SR/TT Bumped heavily just after the start before racing three wide with cover in midfield. Drifted slightly further back passing the 700m, was 3.5L from lead at the 400m before weakening to be beaten over 6L.
6 3 FAST BUCK (H126) A Badel P Raced just forward of midfield after the start when racing three wide following the eventual winner. Was only 2L from lead on straightening, raced tight with rival near 300m, was bumped at 250m before finishing moderately.

8 1 NINJA DERBY (H339) L Currie CP1 Was steadied soon after the start, threw head & refused to settle when being taken back to second last. Continued rearward, came under riding before straightening and then weakened poorly to be beaten over 10L.
9 2 FORTUNE WARRIOR (H229) Z Purton XB-/CP Raced prominently after start, held second place when galloping two wide with the leader three wide & about a length clear. Asked for full effort at 300m when 1.5L behind but weakened badly in last 250m (blood in trachea).
