1 | 4 | KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) | A Marcus | -- | Jumped fairly, soon pulled to the front 1000 M out, pinched rail near the 800 M. Asked to lengthen passing 300 M, quickly put plenty of daylight between itself and the field, very easily. |
2 | 6 | FLYING GENERAL (CB236) | W C Marwing | SR | In front of midfield early, then settled 2 1/2Ls off pace 800 M out, wide without cover along back straight. Under pressure inside 400 M and ran on steadily to claim 2nd 100 M out though absolutely no threat to winner. |
3 | 8 | NEW FACE (CA387) | G Mosse | SR | Settled 5Ls off lead rear of midfield on rail. Switched 4-wide on straightening and made gradual ground final 200 M to take 3rd closing stages. |
4 | 5 | TOUCH OF CLASS (CB129) | F Coetzee | B | Niggled a bit early to stay prominent 3rd or 4th. Followed leader into straight and stayed on quite well before being passed by 2nd and 3rd placegetters inside final 200 M. |
5 | 10 | HIGH POTENTIAL (CB042) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Ridden and was well there early, then remained 3Ls behind lead on fence in mid-division. Stayed on quite well, passing beaten runners in straight. |
6 | 3 | GOLD CHARM (BV085) | S K Sit | B | Ridden along a bit after jump then dropped steadily to tail 5th last swinging into straight, made up some steady ground down centre of straight from 250 M, no extra near finish. |
7 | 9 | DANHERO (CA337) | C Williams | B2 | Broke only fairly, quickly improved to sit behind leader on rail 1000 M out. Hung in rounding home turn, given reminders before straightening, one paced before fading away from 200 M. |
8 | 13 | PERFECT SCORE (CB111) | K S Yu | -- | Bit keen 4-wide just behind midfield. Unable to quicken in straight. |
9 | 2 | SALUT BEAUTE (CB189) | S Dye | -- | Best away and led briefly out wide. 1 1/2Ls behind leader 1000 M out, still 3-wide without cover. At leaders girth latter part of home bend, unable to keep up on straightening, swamped near 200 M when hanging in. |
10 | 11 | BLAZING BOB (BT016) | M Cahill | -- | Jumped awkwardly, held up mostly 3rd from rear near rail. Minimal headway near 200 M, soon no extra. |
