1 | 5 | FIGHTING MASCOT (CB426) | G Schofield | -- | On fence 6Ls off pace in 8th at 1100 M, 4Ls down in 6th on swing for home, 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, got up to lead final strides. |
2 | 2 | KING OF FISH (CB105) | S Dye | B | Soon led, always about 1L clear through to home straight and same at 200 M, grabbed by winner final strides. |
3 | 3 | WINNING SUNSHINE (CB291) | D Whyte | -- | On fence 4Ls off pace in 5th at 1100 M, pushed off fence at 400 M and 3-wide into straight when 2Ls down in 4th, every chance when 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, couldn't follow through. |
4 | 6 | TANAHMERAH (CC051) | R Fradd | V | 10Ls off speed in 11th at 1200 M, a little keen at 1000 M when 3-wide with cover in rear, 5-wide (widest of all) into home straight, ran on very strongly but post came too soon. |
5 | 4 | FORTUNE LIFE (CB207) | A Delpech | B | Awkwardly away, 8Ls off pace in 10th at 1100 M, 6Ls down in 9th off home turn, made some good late headway. |
6 | 12 | WISE CHOICE (CB297) | Y T Cheng | TT1 | 4-wide without cover at 1300 M, got in 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1100 M, forced 4-wide into home straight when over 2Ls down in 5th, kept on well without really threatening. |
7 | 1 | NILOMETER (CD052) | F Coetzee | TT | 6Ls off pace when 2-wide in 9th at 1100 M, same off home turn, kept on fairly, never nearer. |
8 | 7 | AHEAD A HEAD (CB092) | D Dunn | -- | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1200 M to home straight, one-paced thereafter. |
9 | 9 | RESOURCEFUL PRINCE (CA323) | W M Lai | B | Always 3-wide and without cover, 6Ls off pace in 7th at 1100 M and 5Ls down in midfield when 4-wide into home straight, posed no danger. |
10 | 10 | MODERN PROSPECT (CC070) | H K Yim | B/TT | Detached in rear about 15Ls behind at 1100 M, under pressure when tacking on 9Ls last at 600 M, never a factor. |
11 | 11 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | S K Sit | SR | Pressed on to be 1L off pace and 2-wide at 1200 M, hard pressed to hold this position entering straight, soon faded. |
12 | 8 | BOBO DUCK (CA063) | O Doleuze | V | Niggled along slightly to hold midfield position as early as 1100 M when 5Ls off pace, more pressure and similar spot 3-wide entering straight, gone quickly. |
