1 7 FRENCH CONNECTION (CA384) K S Yu -- Always 2-wide and between 1L and 2Ls off pace through to home straight, led approaching 200 M marker, pushed out.
2 2 MONEY WINS (BT165) G Schofield B Sat 2-wide 3Ls off pace from 1300 M out to final turn when slightly closer, stayed on gamely on straight but never looked like reeling in the winner.
3 3 DOLBRIDGE (BS295) W C Marwing B Was on and off the bridle throughout, on fence 3Ls to 4Ls off pace 1000 M out, closer turning for home, stayed on evenly to be nearest at finish.
4 11 LONGMARK (BT294) D Whyte -- Took immediate lead but only crossed to fence 1000 M out, went 2Ls clear 800 M out, 1L clear on straightening but overhauled by winner 300 M out, no extra and lost 3rd place close home.
5 4 DIAMOND AND GOLD (BP100) E Saint-Martin -- Settled on fence about 2Ls to 3Ls off pace throughout, good place prospects 200 M out but could only stay on at same pace.
6 10 ME AND YOU (BT011) M Cahill -- Caught 4-wide 1200 M out when 4Ls off speed, 6Ls down 900 M out, driven to make progress out wide to go 3Ls off leaders entering straight widest of all, stayed on at same pace to line.
7 1 EPIC EXPRESSION (CB158) E Legrix B On fence 4Ls off pace 1200 M out, 5Ls down and hard driven 600 M out, stayed on again in home stretch without ever posing any threat to principals.
8 9 HAPPY CHAMP (BS226) S Dye B Raced 2-wide about 4Ls off pace 1300 M out, similarly placed when driven along 600 M out, failed to quicken up.
9 5 HAPPY FORTUNE (CA307) R Quinn -- Never closer than 4Ls to lead from 1200 M out, always at least 3-wide in the run and very one-paced in straight.
10 12 TELECOM BABE (CA187) W M Lai -- Caught 4-wide 1300 M out and very awkward around bends passing stands and Football Club, 7Ls off pace in rear and on fence 800 M out, never a factor from then on.
11 8 NON SEQUITUR (BV093) F Coetzee P/H Raced 3-wide 5Ls off pace 1300 M out, 7Ls behind 800 M out, still struggling entering home straight and became further detached.
12 6 LASER PRIDE (BS277) S K Sit -- Caught 4-wide 2Ls off pace 1300 M out, 3-wide and 3Ls off lead when started to weaken 600 M out, soon tailed off. (Heart Irregularity.)
