1 | 7 | HAPPY TOGETHER (CC218) | B Prebble | TT | 3Ls off pace when 2-wide in 4th at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 3rd entering homestretch and led 250 M out, jockey dropped whip 50 M out, all out to just scrape home. |
2 | 5 | VITAL PATROL (CC335) | M Rodd | -- | 6Ls off pace in midfield when 2-wide at 800 M, 4Ls down in 5th entering stretch, just over 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, kept reducing the gap, only just failed. |
3 | 4 | CLEAN SWEEP (CD323) | D Whyte | -- | 3-wide with cover when about 7Ls off pace in 9th or so at 1000 M, 4-wide on straightening when 4Ls down in midfield, just over 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, one-paced close home. |
4 | 8 | NATIVE LANGUAGE (CB116) | O Doleuze | V1 | Worse than midfield when 2-wide and about 8Ls off pace at 1000 M, 5Ls down taking home turn, 3Ls down in 6th at 200 M, kept on, never nearer. |
5 | 3 | JOYFUL WORLD (CC200) | C Brown | B | Best away and led 1200 M, headed at 1000 M to race 2Ls off pace in 3rd, 2Ls down in 2nd entering homestretch, one-paced on the run-in. |
6 | 2 | MR GENKI (CD184) | F Coetzee | CP/TT | Prominent early, pressed on to lead on fence by 2Ls on fence from 900 M to home turn, headed at 250 M out, faded and quite weak through final 100 M. |
7 | 10 | QI'S PET (CD321) | S Dye | -- | Slowly away, drifted onto fence (4-back) about 7Ls off pace towards rear at 900 M, marginally closer entering straight, moderate late headway. |
8 | 11 | AURELIAN (CC025) | E Saint-Martin | B | Slowly away, 9Ls last at 1000 M, 4-wide with cover at 800 M, 4-wide on straightening when 6Ls off speed, posed very little late threat. |
9 | 9 | A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) | Y T Cheng | SR | Never better than midfield or closer than 7Ls to the speed from 1000 M. |
10 | 12 | DANEPRINT (CC221) | W M Lai | B | Awkwardly away, always in rear bunch and never a factor. |
11 | 14 | DESERT STRIKE (CB054) | A Delpech | B | Awkwardly away, always in rear or one from until home turn, never competitive in stretch while hanging in. |
12 | 13 | TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) | K S Yu | B | Blundered at start when crowded and unbalanced, 4-wide no cover in midfield when 5Ls off pace at 800 M, 4-wide into home straight, failed to quicken up. |
13 | 1 | GANBARIA (CE052) | G Schofield | SR | 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in 2nd at 800 M, struggling to hold this prominent position at 500 M, faded out rapidly in home straight. |
14 | 6 | GIFTED RUNNER (CC139) | S K Sit | -- | 3-back on fence 5Ls off pace in midfield at 1000 M, niggled along at 800 M to lie up, beaten entering home straight. |
