1 | 6 | CELESTIAL MAGIC (CB363) | D Dunn | BO/TT | Soon led but couldn't cross to fence, disputed lead with RUN AND WIN from 700 M to home straight (turned in 4-wide) when travelling smoothly, 1L clear 200 M out, ridden out. |
2 | 11 | WINTROW (CC175) | S Dye | -- | Settled at rear between 6Ls and 8Ls off pace and 3-wide through to 600 M, 6-wide into home straight and 6Ls down, 3Ls down at the 200 M, kept on strongly but couldn't get to winner. |
3 | 13 | STRONG GALLOP (CC236) | M W Leung | TT | Always wide (4-wide) without cover down the back, 5Ls off speed in 8th 800 M out, 6-wide (widest of all) into home straight when 5Ls down, finished off strongly to nick a place. |
4 | 10 | SNIPPEDYDOODA (CA207) | A Delpech | SR | Prominent early, on fence 3Ls off pace in 4th 700 M out, came off fence entering straight, 1L down in 3rd and with every chance 300 M out, couldn't follow through late on. |
5 | 14 | TRUST ME (CA144) | W Smith | -- | Best away, settled 2-wide in midfield about 5Ls off pace through to straightening for home, kept on fairly but never looked like finishing in the money. |
6 | 9 | KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) | C Williams | -- | Dropped out in rear at least 8Ls off pace and 2-wide until the 600 M, 5-wide into the home straight when at least 7Ls behind, closed off well, nearest at the finish. |
7 | 4 | LUCKY PARADISE (CB441) | F Coetzee | -- | Broke well but soon lost place, 6Ls off pace and 2-wide in 10th 900 M out, always on and off the bridle, 4-wide into stretch when one from rear and 7Ls down, never competitive thereafter. |
8 | 8 | BEST FOR ALL (CB040) | J Quinn | SR | Settled in midfield when 3-wide (with cover) and 4Ls off speed 800 M out, under pressure when 5-wide into stretch and 3Ls down, all out at the 250 M when still 3Ls down, no extra. |
9 | 3 | EVER SUCCESS (CB229) | S K Sit | -- | 2-wide and 2Ls from the lead in 3rd 900 M out, under pressure to hold this spot 700 M out, 3-wide into stretch when 4Ls off the front and weakening, kept on at same pace to line. |
10 | 1 | SPARKY (BT125) | G Mosse | -- | Awkwardly away, one from rear when 7Ls off pace on fence, slightly better off on the swing, never troubled leaders. |
11 | 12 | KALIMANTAN (CB262) | C K Tong | -- | 2-wide and 4Ls off pace in 5th at 900 M, driven along to maintain this position off home turn and 200 M out, faded markedly close home. |
12 | 5 | RUN AND WIN (CA131) | G Schofield | B | 2nd early on fence 1L off pace, disputed lead from 700 M out to home straight (while moving off the rail to 3-wide), cracked over 200 M out, faded away. |
13 | 2 | BOBO WIN (CC238) | R Fradd | TT | 5Ls off pace in 9th on fence 1000 M out, 4Ls down on the swing, very one-paced on run-in to line and posed no kind of threat. |
14 | 7 | WINNING COUNTER (CA008) | D Whyte | BO | Better than midfield and 4-wide early on, went 5th 3-wide 3Ls off pace 700 M out, 2Ls down into home straight, weakened out quickly passing the 300 M marker. |
