1 9 SPARKY (BT125) R Fradd -- Settled about 5Ls off the pace and 2-wide through to home straight, picked up well to be 3Ls down 200 M out, kept on finding and led about 100 M out, won going away.
2 7 CHARIOT OF STORM (CA194) F Coetzee -- Sluggishly into stride, recovered quickly to lead on the fence 1000 M out, never more than half a length clear until home straight, still in front at the 200 M, headed 100 M out, no extra.
3 10 FLYING GENERAL (CB236) W C Marwing SR Raced 2-wide half a length off pace 1000 M out, dropped back to take the run of the race 2Ls off the lead on fence until home straight, still 2Ls down 200 M out, kept on at same pace.
4 6 WINTROW (CC175) S Dye B Was half a length off the pace out 3-wide 1000 M out, still well there at the turn for home, all out to be a neck behind in 2nd place 200 M out, faded inside final 150 M.
5 2 ONE STEP AHEAD (BT033) W M Lai B-/P2 Inconvenienced exiting gates, was almost 10Ls off the lead 1000 M out, 3-wide and 7Ls off the speed 600 M out, staying on well when 3Ls down 200 M out, couldn't sustain effort.
6 5 CROCKER (CB186) G Mosse -- About 6Ls off the speed down the back straight when 3-wide, 5Ls down and 4-wide on the swing for home, was rather one-paced to the line.
7 8 KEV BUSHIDO (BV166) E Saint-Martin SR On the fence about 4Ls off the lead down the back straight, 3Ls behind and travelling well off the home turn, didn't quicken up and was beaten 200 M out. (Dropped whip 200 M.)
8 11 DEVON ELITE (CA166) O Doleuze B Bounded in the air on exiting gates, 2-wide and 4Ls off the pace 900 M out, a little closer but niggled along 600 M out, was 3-wide into the home straight, no acceleration.
9 3 STARWAY PATROL (CB002) D Whyte B/TT Fractious in gates, slowly away and was already 10Ls detached from main body of field at the 1000 M, never a factor. (Lame.)
10 4 AMBITIOUS LEADER (CC082) K S Yu -- Never better than 7Ls off the pace after the 1000 M, was struggling along way from home.
11 1 GENERAL KINGY (CB039) S K Sit -- Shifted out exiting gates, raced 3 and 4-wide without cover in place, was 4Ls behind the leader 800 M out, hard ridden and 4Ls down entering home straight, soon faded.
12 12 EASY KING (CA062) G Schofield SR Broke well, held up to be 10Ls off the pace on the fence 900 M out, soon driven along and detached from main body of field entering straight, no chance.
