1 | 10 | NORTHERN HERO (CG172) | F Coetzee | -- | Very slow away, pushed to keep up with the field along the rail, 6.5Ls behind the leaders, swept towards 4 wide on straightening, dashed well 300 M and kicked away to win. |
2 | 14 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | C K Tong | -- | Pushed to sit 2.5Ls behind the leaders, 3 wide throughout, ran on well to the line to finish 2nd, keeps improving. |
3 | 2 | INSPIRATION (CG111) | K L Chui | -- | Pushed to lead by half a length along the rails at good pace, always under pressure, hung on until 150 M overhauled, ran on well to finish a strong 3rd despite the negative situation. |
4 | 4 | PICKETT (CG155) | A Delpech | SR | Eased to get across towards the rear, 8Ls off pace, 2 wide early and swept to 4 wide on straightening, followed the winner from 300 M and progressed steadily, had already done the best to run 4th. |
5 | 5 | TURF WARRIOR (CH061) | G Mosse | -- | Eased to sit at the back but failed to get across towards the rail, 3 to 5 wide throughout, used too much fuel at the bends, still made ground 250 M. |
