1 3 ULTIMATE GLORY (S235) Z Purton V Enjoyed nice run in midfield on rail. Moved away from the rail just prior to straightening, sprinted fast passing the 350m, assumed lead passing the 200m mark before dashing away for easy victory.
2 7 SUNSHINE UNIVERSE (A130) A Badel B Began fast and ridden hard to assume lead, maintaining 1 length break passing the 800m. Headed at the 200m mark before battling away well to hold second. Winner well clear.
3 14 FANTASTIC SHOW (A207) H W Lai -- Had no early speed and consequently raced at the tail of the field. Was a clear last on cornering, some 6 lengths from lead before making solid late headway to run into third in closing stages.
4 9 FUN TIMES (B079) K Teetan B Not bustled after the start and raced in midfield between runners, 5.5 lengths from lead at the 800m. Held up approaching the 300m before getting clear shortly after & finishing off well in the last 250m.
5 1 SONIC FIGHTER (A187) B Shinn -- Obtained good position in midfield away from rail. Move three deep passing the 600m before entering final section just over 2 lengths form lead. Worked home fairly to finish just behind placed horses.
6 12 FLYING GODSPELL (V376) L Hewitson SR Showed good early speed before racing in second behind the leader. Continued on the leaders back in the last section & battled on fairly well in closing stages. Only 1 length behind second.
7 6 CENTRAL EXPRESS (C444) J Moreira B1 Had no early speed before improving to midfield on the rail. Three lengths off lead entering the last section, shifted wider at the 300m but finished off only moderately in final furlong.
8 13 THE FULL BLOOM (V243) H T Mo -- Raced in midfield but was very wide before improving from the 1100m to race outside the leader passing the 850m. Moved closer to lead nearing the corner before peaking on effort at the 250m & yielding ground thereafter.
9 11 CHAPARRAL STAR (A220) H N Wong TT Steadied after the start and shifted across to race worse than midfield between runners. Continued rearward, 5 lengths off lead on cornering & made no impression in final section.
10 2 GOD OF DRAGON (B108) S De Sousa H/TT Shifted across after the start & raced worse than midfield away from rail, 7L from lead at the 800m. Was held up after straightening & again on multiple occasions in the last 300m. Well beaten but should have finished closer.
11 4 SMART ROCKET (B322) N Callan CP Raced wide in midfield, before being left without cover from the 850m when five lengths from lead. Continued wide in middle stages before cornering 3.5L behind. Weakened out in last section after covering extra ground.
