1 1 SPLENDID PATROL (BV066) D Dunn -- Best away and soon led on fence, never clear by more than a length and a half until home straight, skipped 2Ls clear at 200 M, driven out, comfortably.
2 4 THUNDER STORM (CA226) A Marcus B Had a nice run on fence 3Ls off pace 1200 M out, 2Ls down and disputing 2nd place off final bend, no chance with winner but hung for 2nd place okay.
3 8 PACKING ANGEL (CB223) D Whyte -- 2-wide and 3Ls or 4Ls off speed in 5th place from 1200 M out to 600 M out, 4-wide off home turn, never able to challenge winner but stayed on fairly for a place nonetheless.
4 11 MASTERY (CC176) G Schofield -- In rear 2-wide and 10Ls off pace 1200 M out, 8Ls down and 4-wide and still in rear entering straight, good headway final 200 M to be nearest at finish.
5 9 ABLE MARSHALL (CB336) W M Lai -- In 10th place 7Ls off pace out 2-wide at 1200 M, still 2-wide and 6Ls down towards rear and travelling well on home circle, didn't find much when asked to quicken up.
6 2 GOOD RECORD (CA104) R Fradd -- 3-wide with cover in 7th when 5Ls off the lead at 1200 M, 4Ls off pace but 5-wide (widest of all) off home turn, no impression.
7 6 SILENT PARTNER (BT122) G Mosse B In 8th place 2-wide and 6Ls off speed at the 1200 M, 5Ls down 800 M out, still in midfield on the home turn, always much too one-paced to improve position.
8 3 COMMANDER CHARLIE (BS155) M W Leung SR On fence about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace in 6th place from 1200 M to home straight, never dangerous on run-in.
9 10 THUNDER MAN (CB239) S Dye B 10Ls off the lead on fence 1200 M out in 11th place, a little closer but still in rear off home turn, outpaced and never able to challenge on fence, switched inside final 100 M.
10 7 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) C Williams -- Slowly away, on fence 7Ls off pace in 9th 1200 M out, 5Ls down and still 9th on straightening, never on terms with principals.
11 12 REWARD (BV116) C K Tong BO Couldn't lead early on, 3-wide without cover 2Ls off speed in 3rd place from 1200 M to 500 M out, soon under pressure and dropped out steadily in home straight.
12 5 GREEN CENTURY (CA256) W Woods -- Keen early on, still over-racing when 2-wide 2Ls off pace in 2nd place 1200 M out, settled eventually and held this spot until home turn, dropped out tamely quickly. (Lame.)
