1 5 VAUGIRARD (CK347) C Y Ho B Hard ridden early along the fence to occupy the prominent spot 1200M out. Ran on steadily top of home straight and came with a strong challenge passing 200M. Asserted authority final 50M.
2 2 HUSSLER (CJ323) D Whyte B Quickly into stride and rolled to sit one-off the fence behind the leader from 1200M. Chased strongly and looked possible to score final 150M until the winner made a sweeping run final stages.
3 11 EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) D Beadman B Shaken up after start to lead on fence from 1300M. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Outrun by the front pair final 100M.
4 12 GO DAN GO (CJ327) Z Purton -- Raced within 2Ls of the pace in a 2-wide position through to home straight. Match strides with the front trio but lacked the kick to beat them.
5 3 JOYFUL WINNER (CE045) O Doleuze -- Away in line. Eased to sit 2-wide behind midfield passing 1200M. Gradually moved to 5-wide and was 4Ls down rounding home turn. Made some headway without threatening the principals.
6 7 OUTDOOR PEGASUS (L173) B Prebble -- Began awkwardly. Driven to race 3-wide at midfield 1200M out. Commenced run and was 3Ls off approaching home straight. Looked dangerous at 300M but couldn't sustain effort final 150M.
7 4 ROCKET POWER (CH136) M Chadwick B/TT 2-wide towards rear despite the early effort. Swung widest and was 6Ls away on straightening. Covered minor ground thereafter.

9 9 AMPLE GAINS (CE021) K W Leung B/TT Slow to begin. Given reminder to chase the field along the fence and raced behind midfield from 1200M. Failed to quicken in the straight.
10 1 PRIME TARGET (CH242) C K Tong -- Fair break, midfield one off, mid track challenge, reached third place 200m out, no extra.
11 13 MR TOPAZ (L097) M Du Plessis -- Jumped fairly and was gradually eased to rear on fence 1100M out. Same position into final stretch. Past beaten rivals home.
