3 1 INVESTAR (CH099) D Beadman CP-/B1 Ridden along early & took up leading duties on the rail. Kept leading well into the straight but faded on its run over the concluding stages.
4 10 GLOBAL WAY (CG158) O Doleuze B/TT Raced 1 off on the back of the speed. Had every chance.
5 6 VALUE CHOICE (CG213) G Mosse B As the start was effected put its head down and as a consequence lost a considerable amount of ground settling last on the fence. Was checked near the 1000 M, and despite this ran on satisfactorily over the final stages.
6 9 PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) B Prebble -- From an outside barrier was taken back to a position behind midfield along the fence. Didn't make much impact in the run to the finish.
7 3 AURELIAN (CC025) H W Lai CP-/B2 Slow into stride and settled 1 off in 2nd last position. Ran on well.

11 8 WINNING CHAMP (CE233) K L Chui -- In the early and middle stages travelled in a handy position but wide and without cover and commenced to give ground at the 500 M. Struggled in the run to the line.
12 12 LUCKY MAN (CG061) F Coetzee B For the major part of the race travelled wide and without cover outside the leaders. Finished tailed out before being permitted to race again must perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial.
