1 | 7 | HAPPY PLACE (S380) | C Schofield | B/H/TT | Bumped on jumping and not used up early to settle midfield, on the fence. Came wider on the turn and ran strongly to the line, with the only challenger left with too much ground to make up. |
2 | 4 | LUCKY GIRL (T355) | S De Sousa | -- | OK away, and cruised forward early to be just forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Tight on turning and held up until 200m, before coming across 4 sets of heels to get a run down outside. Big run late, but had too much to do. |
3 | 5 | GENERAL OF PATCH (T106) | Z Purton | B/H/XB | Began awkwardly, & crowded soon after before pressing forward to be placed forward of midfield 4.5L off the leaders. Tight on turn, ran well in the straight, but unable to match winner & run down late to miss 2nd. |
4 | 2 | MIGHTY MAVERICK (V150) | N Callan | XB | Pushed forward from the wide draw to be handily placed in 3rd, 1 off the fence. Well placed in the straight, and ran steadily to the line but easily taken by the first 3. |
5 | 13 | HAPPY AGILITY (T184) | K Teetan | CP | Dropped back from the wide draw to be placed worse than midfield and stuck 4-5 wide, before dropping to last at the 800m, 11L off the lead. Came wide in the straight, and flew late recording best final sectional. |
6 | 12 | LEADING HORSE (T322) | J Moreira | H | Fairly away before pressing forward to share the lead, 1 off the fence. 2nd on the turn, and ran on steadily at the top of the straight. Tight at 250m, before bumped and laying away from heels at 150m and dropping out. |
7 | 6 | RED DANCER (P264) | B Prebble | P/TT | Dropped back from the wide draw to be at the rear of the field, 1 off the fence and 9L off the leader. Lost momentum when restricted at 400m, but ran steadily from that point and picked off some of the slower types. |
8 | 11 | ABLE DEED (V136) | D Whyte | B | Began well and cruised forward early, before being restrained to be handily placed in 4th, on the rails 1.5L off the leader. Ran steadily when asked from 400m but lost momentum when hampered 150m, and dropped out. |
9 | 1 | ENORMOUS HONOUR (T236) | R Moore | B | Bumped on jumping, and then pressed forward to take the lead. Led by 1.5L turning for home, but ran flat in the straight and eased out from the 150m after being hampered. |
10 | 9 | TRIUMPHANT DRAGON (P078) | K K Chiong | B | Began OK and taken up sit midfield, 1 off the fence. Never got settled and was taken to 3 wide no cover from the 900m. Battled on gamely, but was a beaten horse early in the straight. |
11 | 3 | VICTORY FOLLOW ME (V182) | N Rawiller | -- | OK away, but tended to over race early when placed worse than midfield, 1 off the fence. Went searching for a run at the top of the straight, but didn't have the power to take advantage and only went to the line fairly. |
12 | 8 | FULL GLORY (T092) | G Mosse | H/TT | Fairly away and eased forward to be worse than midfield early, on the rails. Never produced in the straight, running one paced and eased out from the 200m. |
13 | 10 | JAEGER BOMB (P281) | C K Tong | B/TT | Bumped just after the kick and not used up early to sit just behind midfield, 3 wide with cover. Came wider on the turn, but was already under pressure and went to the line flat. |
14 | 14 | VICTORY MASTER (M148) | K C Ng | B | Dropped back early from the wide draw to sit 2nd last, 10L off the leader. Never kicked in the run home and dropped out late, easing towards the line. |
