1 9 DEFLECT (CD094) D Nikolic XB1/H/TT Flanked leader out 2-wide about half a length off speed in 2nd until homestretch, led narrowly at the 200 M, hung left under pressure and all out to just score.
2 6 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) D Whyte V/XB Disputed early lead, edged to narrow lead on fence at 1200 M until home turn, headed over 200 M out but battled back and only barely missed the win.
3 7 SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) G Mosse B Steadied towards rear through first half about 6Ls off pace and not much closer turning for home, stayed on well late down centre of track for 3rd despite hanging in.
4 3 A PLUS FIT (CD013) O Doleuze B Awkwardly away, over-raced when 3-wide with cover in midfield about 4Ls off pace until halfway, driven along to get closer turning for home, hung in late but did make a little ground.
5 14 OPTIC KING (CE139) H K Yim CP/XB 3-back on fence in midfield at 1000 M when 4Ls from the front, about 3Ls down entering stretch, 2Ls down in 3rd with every chance to place at 200 M but tired late.
6 8 SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) F Coetzee -- Worse than midfield about 5Ls off the speed until turning for home, made some decent late ground through the pack to be closest at the line.
7 10 MIRACLE DRAGON (CD254) B Prebble V/H Checked at 1200 M, 4Ls back in midfield from halfway to straight when driven along, failed to find clear running until about 100 M when too late to make an impact.
8 5 CHALLENGER (CE138) A Starke P-/TT Slowly away, checked on fence at 1200 M and raced 4-back about 5Ls off pace in 12th at the 800 M, one-paced on the inner without ever threatening leaders in the finish.
9 2 SILVERBIRD (CB335) C K Tong CP/TT Keen until the 1000 M when 5Ls back in 8th or so with cover, similarly placed turning for home but never looked like reaching the principals.
10 1 WORLD SERIES (CG121) M W Leung B Soon 8Ls last, a little detached and same margin behind entering home straight, made some very minor late headway down centre of track.
11 13 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) S Dye -- Worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace early on, caught 4-wide no cover at the 800 M and forced widest off final bend when losing ground, no impression.
12 4 KNIGHT TEMPLAR (CC021) A Delpech B Had a nice 'one-out one-back' position behind a slow tempo until the 600 M, niggled along when 2Ls back in 3rd entering stretch, very weak finish.
13 12 DOLPHIN STAR (CC271) W M Lai B/SR Caught wide without cover throughout, 4-wide no cover in rear early on, pressed on to go 3-wide no cover 2Ls back from 800 M to home turn, quickly folded.
14 11 NATIVE LANGUAGE (CB116) C W Wong B Had the box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or so from 1200 M to home straight, found zero once the tempo quickened, very tame effort.
