1 | 12 | STRATEGIC SELECT (CB133) | Y T Cheng | B | Slowly away, 2-wide and 7Ls off pace in 10th from 1200 M until home straight when travelling well, 4Ls down in midfield but short of room 200 M out, ran on strongly to lead on line. |
2 | 8 | ASALI (CC289) | A Marcus | -- | Keen, head up in 3rd place 2-wide 3Ls off pace at 1200 M, advanced to lead on fence 900 M out, on wrong leg down backstretch, 2Ls clear entering straight, balanced, kept on, caught on line. |
3 | 1 | MASTERY (CC176) | G Schofield | -- | On fence about 5Ls or 6Ls off speed in mid-division until 600 M, 4Ls down in 4th off home turn, picked up well and 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, kept finding but couldn't reel in leader, lost 2nd final strides. |
4 | 5 | KING OF FISH (CB105) | D Whyte | V | On fence 4Ls off pace in 5th at 1200 M, 2-wide and 3Ls in 3rd at the 1000 M, 2Ls down in 2nd off home turn and every chance, still 2Ls down at 200 M, closed final stages but lost place. |
5 | 7 | SEASONS TREASURE (CB310) | J Quinn | -- | 6Ls off pace out 2-wide in 8th at 1200 M, niggled along 800 M out when 5Ls down, still 5Ls 7th off home turn, always held but was short of running 100 M out, nearest at finish. |
6 | 6 | REWARD (BV116) | C Williams | BO | Led on fence early on but ceded advantage 1000 M out, was 2Ls off pace on fence in 3rd from then until home straight, one-paced through closing stages. |
7 | 10 | LUCKY TWINS (CC167) | H K Yim | B | Awkwardly away and unbalanced, on fence 7Ls off pace in 9th at 1200 M, 6Ls down in 9th at 800 M and into straight when under pressure, nearest at finish but never threatened leaders. |
8 | 11 | SILVERBIRD (CB335) | W Smith | -- | 2-wide in rear and 10Ls off pace 1200 M out, 3-wide with cover and 8Ls off pace at 700 M when one from rear, 6-wide (widest of all) into home straight, made some late headway, nearest finish. |
9 | 2 | THUNDER MAN (CB239) | D Dunn | B | On fence 9Ls off pace in 11th place 1200 M out, 8Ls down and one from rear at 800 M, last off home turn and under pressure, short of room 200 M out, always well held but nearest at finish. |
10 | 3 | CORAJOSO (CB230) | G Mosse | SR/H | 2-wide and 4Ls off pace in 6th 1200 M out, niggled along 800 M out when just over 3Ls down, lost place rounding home turn, 5-wide into stretch, very one-paced thereafter. |
11 | 9 | SUPER SPRINT (CA274) | W C Marwing | V | Best away, over-raced early on when 2Ls 2nd at 1200 M on fence, shuffled back 3Ls 5th on fence 900 M out, 4Ls down in 5th at 400 M, too one-paced, hung out in straight under pressure. |
