3 14 ZERO IN (CC332) F Coetzee -- 7Ls behind when 3-wide with cover in 12th at 1000 M, still towards rear when 4-wide off home turn about 5Ls off pace, ran on well without looking likely to reach quinella pair.
4 11 WISHMASTER (CB240) M Rodd -- 2-wide and 5Ls off speed in 10th at 1000 M, same when held up for run from top of home straight to 250 M out, kept on fairly but leading trio were in charge.

6 9 SOLAR EMPIRE (CB299) C K Tong -- 3-wide without cover when half a length down in 3rd at 1200 M, pressed on to lead by 1L out 2-wide at 600 M and entering straight, faded shortly after being headed 300 M out.

10 5 AMAZING ONE (CE044) D Whyte B1 Sent on from widest gate to dispute lead out 4-wide without cover at 1000 M, 1L down in 3rd (and still no cover) from 800 M to homestretch, swamped at 200 M and drifted back.
11 12 DOUBLE HAPPINESS (CB198) B Prebble -- 6Ls behind on fence 11Ls off pace at 1000 M, hung out 700 M out, 4Ls down on fence and held up for a run on straightening until about 300 M out, no impression when clear.
12 3 BRILLIANT FLASH (CE042) R Fradd -- Didn't break well, 8Ls behind and one from rear in 13th at 1000 M, 6Ls behind in rear off final bend, never a factor.
13 7 SENSIBLE WAY (CA175) S Dye B Disputed lead on fence at 1200 M, unbalanced at 900 M and 3Ls down in 5th on fence at 600 M and struggling to hold this spot at top of stretch, faded.
