1 | 2 | BRAVE KNIGHT (CC131) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Had the run of the race in 3rd on fence 2Ls off pace until home turn, quickened up to lead at 200 M, always in charge. |
2 | 1 | TAKING THE LEAD (CB275) | O Doleuze | B | Three back on the fence 4Ls behind in 5th at the 600 M, went 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, never likely to catch the winner. |
3 | 6 | FLYING SPRINTER (CD021) | H K Yim | B | 2-wide about 2Ls behind in 4th through to home turn, same at 200 M, one-paced close home but held onto a place comfortably. |
4 | 4 | KING OF WIN (CD395) | W M Lai | B1 | Brushed rail at 1000 M, four back on the fence about 5Ls behind in 8th at the 600 M, didn't have a clear run from home turn to 200 M, ran on okay but always held. |
5 | 8 | LUCKY GALLOPER (CD030) | D Holland | B | Checked at start, 8Ls behind in 11th at 800 M, still well behind on straightening, ran on well late, never nearer. |
6 | 9 | NEW MILESTONE (CC351) | D Whyte | B | Disputed early lead on fence, 1L clear off home turn, headed 200 M out, weakened. |
7 | 12 | GREAT IDEA (CC178) | R Fradd | B2 | Caught 3-wide without cover at 700 M when 4Ls behind in 6th, 3-wide off home turn and 3Ls down and same at 200 M, faded thereafter. |
8 | 3 | HELENE ELEGANCE (CB004) | B Prebble | B/TT | Keen when checked and 6Ls behind in 9th at 700 M, 4-wide (widest) on straightening when 5Ls behind in 9th, closer at 200 M but effort not sustained. |
9 | 7 | OKEYDOKEY (CD190) | S Dye | B | Fractious in gates and broke very awkwardly, 6Ls or 7Ls behind in 10th on fence through to home straight, never looked likely. |
10 | 11 | KIMBO KID (CC379) | F Coetzee | -- | Disputed lead out 2-wide until the 600 M, under pressure to lie up when 1L down in 2nd at the corner, dropped away. |
11 | 5 | SUPREME MOLLY (CC049) | M Rodd | -- | 2-wide and 4Ls behind in 6th at 600 M and in 7th off home turn, failed to muster any kind of kick. (Distressed.) |
12 | 10 | BRILLIANT EXPRESS (CB022) | C Williams | TT | Slowly away, always detached in rear. |
