1 | 3 | SPECIAL KING PRAWN (CD212) | B Prebble | TT1 | Settled 7Ls off pace and one from rear at 1000 M, crept to be 3Ls down in midfield off home turn, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, led final 50 M, readily. |
2 | 10 | MY CHOICE (CC283) | D Whyte | SR | Raced 2-wide better than midfield within 2Ls or 3Ls of pace until home turn, quickened up well to lead at 200 M, grabbed about 50 M by winner, no extra. |
3 | 7 | HELENE PILLAGING (CC084) | F Coetzee | TT | Bounded at start, covered up about 3Ls behind leaders in midfield until home turn, 1L down in 4th at 200 M, kept on well but couldn't grab leaders. |
4 | 11 | WYNDAM EASY (CB273) | P H Lo | -- | Worse than midfield and 4Ls off pace with cover until home turn, held up for a run until switching into clear at 300 M, ran on well, nearest at finish. |
5 | 1 | FIREBOLT (CB256) | D Holland | SR/B2/TT | Disputed lead on fence until home straight, headed about 200 M out and weakened close home. |
6 | 4 | FOKINE (CE072) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Slowest away, 3-back on the fence and about 4Ls off pace in 9th until 600 M, closer on straightening and 2Ls down in 6th at the 200 M, could not sustain effort. |
7 | 12 | ABLE CHOICE (CB126) | C W Wong | B/TT | Always well placed in midfield early had the run of the race 2Ls behind in 4th at 600 M and closer on straightening, failed to quicken up and swamped at the 200 M. |
8 | 5 | GENERAL KINGY (CB039) | C Williams | B/TT1 | Best away, led out 2-wide by a neck 1000 M, disputed lead until top of home straight, one-paced when swallowed up at the 200 M. |
9 | 9 | COME SEE YOU (CA368) | W M Lai | B | Slowly away, detached about 10Ls adrift in rear at 800 M, made a little late headway through some rivals. |
10 | 2 | GRAND DELIGHT (CB355) | S Dye | B | Always worse than midfield about 4Ls off pace but with cover, 4-wide off home turn and finished off tamely down centre of course. |
11 | 8 | HONOUR SUPREME (CB393) | G Schofield | SR | Midfield about 2Ls off pace when 4-wide but with cover at 800 M, lost position on the circle and soon faded out in stretch. |
