1 14 KIWI STAR (BP132) W C Marwing B Jumped awkwardly. Settled towards rear. Gained good ground on inside to be better than midfield turning in. Responded well final 250 M to hit front 150 M out. Hung on well to fend off runner-up's late challenge.
2 5 DON SEBASTIAN (BS297) B Marcus -- Slowly away. Settled in rear. Switched to extreme outside turning for home. Made up good ground final 300 M. Shifted in and failed to gain upper hand closing stages.
3 3 TELECOM CHIEF (BS098) D Whyte -- Settled in rear of midfield. No clear run early in straight. Made good progress final 200 M to be nearest at finish.
4 2 NATURAL WINNER (BS195) F Coetzee -- Settled mainly in 3rd within striking distance. Kept on well in straight.
5 9 ORIENTAL TREASURE (BT030) J Quinn TT Settled in 4th within striking distance. Improved to be just behind leader rounding home bend. Quickened to hit front 250 M out but soon overhauled. One-paced.
6 10 THE ESTABLISHMENT (BS127) R Fradd TT Settled in midfield. Gained good ground on rails to be 3rd turning in. Disappointed for a run early in straight. Made progress final 300 M but unable to sustain effort closing stages.
7 1 FRENCH FRY (BS271) E Legrix -- Settled in rear. Wide rounding home bend. Made ground final 300 M.
