1 2 STRONGHEART (BT113) G Mosse TT Caught 4-wide without cover and 3Ls off the pace at 1000 M, 2Ls off lead and 3-wide entering straight, picked up well to lead at 300 M, driven clear.
2 11 PORTER RICKS (CB401) G Schofield -- Advanced to within 1L of pace out 4-wide without cover in 4th place at 1000 M, still well there in 2nd place on straightening, no chance with winner but hung on well for runners-up slot.
3 4 PARADIS (CB044) D Whyte SR/TT Crowded at start, in midfield 3Ls off pace and 2-wide at 1000 M, 4Ls down on straightening, 3Ls off winner at 200 M, just missed out on 2nd place.
4 8 RESOURCEFUL PRINCE (CA323) W M Lai -- 3-wide and 3Ls off pace in midfield at 1000 M, niggled slightly at 800 M, 4-wide into home straight when 5Ls down and hard ridden, kept on well for pressure on run-in.
5 5 CORAJOSO (CB230) D Dunn SR/H1 Best away, restrained to sit 2-wide and 5Ls off speed from 1000 M to homestretch, made some moderate late headway.
6 14 LUCKY KING (CA304) C Williams -- Well placed on fence 2Ls off pace at 1000 M, between 3Ls and 4Ls off speed on fence from 800 M to home straight, every chance of a place 250 M out, faded inside final 100 M.
7 3 ZIETENGO BOY (BV143) A Marcus B Bumped at start, led on fence until 1000 M, no worse than 1L off speed until straightening for home, rather one-paced from then on.
8 1 HALO KING PRAWN (CB124) W C Marwing P/H Disputed lead out 3-wide early on before going on to lead from 1000 M, half a length clear off home turn, headed by winner at 300 M, faded steadily.
9 10 LATTE (CB425) S Dye B A neck 3rd out 2-wide 1000 M out, steadied to be 2Ls down at 800 M and 3Ls down into home straight when ridden along, beaten 200 M out. (Significant amount of mucus in trachea.)
10 9 ATHLETIC GOLD (CC241) W Woods -- 3-wide and 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, 6Ls down and 3-wide into home straight, never competitive.
11 7 DESERT STORM (CA048) F Coetzee TT One from rear 7Ls off pace at 1000 M, never looked like getting involved at any stage.
12 12 SMART HORSE (BV096) S K Sit -- 4-wide and 5Ls off pace in 12th place 900 M out, never got any closer to the lead than that.
13 6 MADE TO FIGURE (BS161) M W Leung B Crowded at start, on fence 5Ls off pace at 900 M, 4Ls down off home turn but soon outpaced.
14 13 DANDY BUNNY (BV328) Y T Cheng -- Always detached in rear, never better than about 8Ls off pace at any point.
