1 1 ELUSIVE STATE (A036) J Moreira TT Enjoyed soft run in midfield on rail. Shifted away from the rail when making ground approaching the 400m. Sprinted quickly after straightening, assumed lead inside the 100m and ran away late for very easy win.
2 7 BUDDIES (C019) G van Niekerk H/TT Strode forward to assume lead before crossing to rail near the 1300m. Held 1 length margin when leading in middle stages. Passed quickly by winner inside the final 100m before digging in deep to hold second.
3 3 TURIN REDSTAR (B092) K C Leung CP/TT Strode forward before racing on leaders back from the 1300m. Stayed close to the inside rail on straightening and battled away strongly to run third.
4 5 RAGING BLITZKRIEG (B147) U Rispoli H Pushed forward to race in second away from the rail. Moved closer to the lead on straightening before peaking inside the last furlong and giving a few lengths in late stages.
5 2 MORETHANLUCKY (A039) M Chadwick B Raced just worse than midfield away from the rail. Moved wider approaching the corner when 3 lengths form the lead but failed to make sufficient ground in the straight to challenge.
6 4 GLORIOUS ARTIST (B210) Z Purton -- Shifted across behind runners after the start and raced second from last. Moved wider nearing the turn before balancing the widest runner, 4.5 lengths from lead. Maintained margin in final section.
7 8 ENRICHMENT (B457) R Bayliss B Steadied and shifted to the rear of the field after the start. Was a clear last passing the 400m, and despite running the second fastest last section, could not play a role in finish.
8 6 CIRCUIT GLORY (A402) H T Mo H/TT Failed to muster usual early speed before shifting across to race in midfield away from the rail. Pushed three wide approaching the 400m before peaking on effort on straightening. Gave ground in last 300m.
9 9 NOBLE STEED (A326) M L Yeung -- Shifted across to the rail in the first 100m and raced worse than midfield on rail. Continued near the rear entering the final section before weakening out to be well beaten.
