1 | 11 | CHEERFUL FORTUNE (CC088) | C Williams | -- | Keen when 6Ls off pace and 2-wide at 1000 M, 3-wide and 4Ls off pace on straightening, switched inside at 300 M for clear running, quickened up very well to lead 50 M out. |
2 | 6 | HIDDEN DRAGON (CB231) | F Coetzee | -- | Led early on, 1L to the good at the 800 M, disputed lead from home turn to 100 M, headed by winner at 50 M, kept on for 2nd place. |
3 | 13 | THE DUKE (CB282) | A Delpech | -- | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off the pace until home straight, 1L down 200 M out, no extra. |
4 | 8 | GREAT DELIGHT (CC291) | S Dye | B | 3-wide without cover and 2Ls off pace 900 M out, turned for home quite wide (5-wide) but disputing the lead, a neck down in 2nd 200 M out, faded slightly close home. |
5 | 4 | SHAXI FORTUNE (BT096) | D Whyte | B | 4-wide and 6Ls off pace 900 M out, 5-wide into home straight when 4Ls down in 10th place, nearest at the finish. |
6 | 1 | SMART WINNER (CA019) | G Schofield | SR | 3-wide and 4Ls off pace at 900 M, closer turning for home when 4-wide, kept on well to be nearest at finish but never troubled principals. |
7 | 10 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | D Dunn | -- | Slowly away, on fence 3Ls off pace at 900 M, 2Ls down and 2-wide off home turn, kept on fairly but was outpaced by principals. |
8 | 14 | BOLD FIGHTER (CC286) | W M Lai | B1 | 2-wide and on fence in 2nd place at 1000 M, in 3rd place and driven along 1L off speed off home turn, weakened final 100 M. |
9 | 9 | AMBITIOUS TYCOON (CB157) | K S Yu | -- | Caught 4 and 5-wide without cover down back straight when about 8Ls off speed, 7Ls down into stretch, moderate late headway to be nearest at the finish. |
