Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 8 | TANAHMERAH (CC051) | R Fradd | V | On fence 10Ls off speed and one from rear at the 1100 M, still in 11th when 6Ls behind and forced 6-wide (widest of all), hung right but ran on very strongly to lead final strides. |
2 | 6 | PRECIOUS SWEETIE (CB247) | H W Lai | -- | On fence when 1L clear 1200 M out, disputing lead off home turn and marginally ahead at the 200 M, caught by winner final strides. |
3 | 2 | THUNDER MAN (CB239) | P Payne | B | Held up 7Ls behind leader in 10th at the 1100 M, 5-wide when 6Ls down and still in 10th entering home straight, ran on well, never nearer. |
4 | 12 | SMART WIN (CA372) | P H Lo | -- | 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1100 M, disputing lead entering home straight and a neck 2nd at the 200 M, no extra. |
5 | 3 | ARROGANCE (CA177) | C Williams | B | 2-wide and 3Ls behind in 5th at the 1100 M, 2Ls down in 4th off home turn and 2Ls 3rd 200 M out, kept on at same pace. |
6 | 11 | EXULTATION (BV223) | D Whyte | -- | Switched to fence from wide gate to 6Ls behind leader in 9th at 1100 M, 2-wide and 5Ls worse than midfield off home turn, tended to hang left when running on without troubling principals. |
7 | 1 | SIR OCTAVIUS (CB427) | S Dye | -- | Had a nice run on the fence 2Ls off the speed in 4th or so until home straight, always a bit too one-paced in the finish. |
8 | 7 | SPEEDING MOLLY (CC227) | J Holder | SR | Had cover when 3-wide and 4Ls off pace in 8th 1100 M out, over-raced in places, 3-wide into home straight when still 4Ls behind in midfield, always held. |
9 | 9 | NEVER HEADED (CB202) | W M Lai | B/TT | 2-wide and 4Ls behind leader in 7th 1100 M out, similarly placed but under pressure off final bend, no impression. |
10 | 4 | ZERUBBABEL (CB418) | F Coetzee | B | Sluggish start and raced detached in rear 14Ls behind the leader 1200 M out, never a factor. |
11 | 5 | ROMANTIC SYMPHONY (BV150) | G Schofield | SR/TT | In 6th place on fence 1200 M out, under pressure and 5Ls behind towards rear when checked 400 M out, no threat thereafter. |
12 | 10 | CAPABEL (CD195) | Y T Cheng | -- | Always 3-wide without cover, 1L down in 3rd from 1200 M to 600 M, lost place on the circle and dropped right out. |
