1 | 14 | GOODY (CD239) | A Delpech | -- | Settled in 13th 9Ls off pace on fence at 1000 M, 6Ls down in 11th on straightening, good headway when no running room at 300 M and steadied again at 100 M, kept on to lead 50 M out, hung on. |
2 | 2 | GRAND ZULU (CE057) | D Whyte | B | Slowest away, 7Ls off pace and 2-wide in 10th at 1000 M, niggled along at 700 M, 5Ls down in 10th when 3-wide and under pressure off home turn, finished off very strongly, only just failed. |
3 | 6 | KEY TO SUCCESS (CC116) | O Doleuze | -- | 4Ls off pace when 2-wide in 6th at 1000 M, 2Ls off pace when 3-wide with cover in 6th at 600 M, 4-wide on straightening, led 150 M out but headed at 50 M, no extra. |
4 | 1 | RAIDER (CC009) | F Coetzee | -- | Slowly away, on fence 5Ls behind in 7th at 1000 M, 4Ls down in mid-division on straightening, 1L down in 4th at 200 M, kept on well. |
5 | 10 | CALIFORNIA HAWK (CD057) | R Fradd | TT | Slowly away, on fence 7Ls off pace in 9th at 1000 M, 4Ls down on straightening in midfield, 1L down in about 5th at 200 M, kept on well. |
6 | 9 | JOYFUL SPIRIT (CB032) | G Schofield | -- | 2-wide when 5Ls off speed in 8th at 1000 M, 3-wide on straightening in similar position, over 1L down in midfield at 200 M but couldn't sustain effort to line. |
7 | 5 | GREAT DELIGHT (CC291) | S Dye | B | Best away, about half a length 2nd out 2-wide from 1000 M to home straight, clear lead 350 M out, headed about 150 M out, weakened. |
8 | 4 | RED PEPPER (CA196) | H W Lai | -- | 3Ls behind lead in 5th at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 4th off home turn, one-paced thereafter. |
9 | 7 | GOOD PROFIT (CD389) | B Prebble | -- | 10Ls last when 2-wide at 1000 M, under pressure when 4-wide and 9Ls last on the home turn, made a little late ground but never really there. |
10 | 13 | MY CHOICE (CC283) | W M Lai | SR | Raced keenly early on, 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1000 M, similar entering home straight and all out to stay within 2Ls of lead at 200 M, faded. |
11 | 12 | FANTASY (CB187) | C Williams | -- | Never better than midfield, 8Ls off pace in 12th at 1000 M, 7Ls down in 12th at 400 M, posed no great threat. |
12 | 11 | WYNDAM EASY (CB273) | P H Lo | -- | Awkwardly away, 3-wide without cover when 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 3rd off home turn, beat a retreat from 350 M. |
13 | 3 | PRIME WITNESS (BV178) | D Dunn | -- | Soon led on fence, never clear by much more than 1L until the home turn, soon headed and faded out. |
14 | 8 | EQUATOR KID (CC134) | K S Yu | -- | Never on terms, 8Ls off pace in 11th when 3-wide without cover at 1000 M, didn't get much closer. |
