1 | 6 | THE ONLY ONE (CB383) | F Coetzee | B | Enjoyed the run of the race on fence 2Ls or 3Ls off pace in 3rd through to home turn, led 250 M out, hard ridden and all out to hang on. |
2 | 12 | WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) | W M Lai | TT | 6Ls back in 8th on fence at 1100 M, over 4Ls down in 9th or so taking home turn, ran on well in stretch despite hanging out, would have won in another few strides. |
3 | 7 | SUPER FANTASY (CD162) | D Whyte | H/TT | 5Ls back in midfield with cover at 1200 M, head up at 800 M and sent on 3-wide no cover to be 2Ls back in 4th turning for home, kept on fairly well but lost out on 2nd close home. |
4 | 9 | WATCHMAN (CB327) | B Prebble | B/SR | Didn't break well, 6Ls back in 9th at 1200 M, pushed 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home when 4Ls off pace, stayed on well to line out wide. |
5 | 2 | CASH IN (CG138) | D Nikolic | -- | 2-wide and 1L off pace in 2nd at 1100 M, a neck down in 2nd at 800 M and went a shade too quickly to lead by 1L at final bend, stayed on at same pace to line. |
6 | 8 | DESERT STRIKE (CB054) | O Doleuze | -- | 8Ls back in 10th at 1100 M, 6Ls back in 11th taking home turn, ran on well late, nearest at finish. |
7 | 5 | CHAMP DRAGON (CB278) | S Dye | B | Failed to muster early pace, 4Ls back in 5th at 1100 M, 3Ls down in 6th entering home straight, ran on without troubling principals. |
8 | 10 | CHERISHED (CB160) | A Delpech | P | Always worse than midfield, 8Ls back and one from rear early, 5Ls down in 10th taking home turn out 4-deep, never troubled leaders. |
9 | 4 | PRIMIATA (CG226) | Y T Cheng | SR/TT | No early pace, soon 10Ls last on fence, 8Ls in 11th taking home turn, ran on past two weary rivals late. |
10 | 3 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | K S Yu | -- | Caught 3-wide no cover when 5Ls back in 7th at 1100 M, sent on 4-wide no cover at 700 M to be 1L down in 3rd entering straight, dropped out very quickly. |
11 | 1 | UNIVERSAL PIONEER (CB293) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Soon led on fence by 1L, tested down the back straight and went a little too quickly, lost position and under pressure from the 500 M, faded out. |
12 | 11 | HAPPY ASH (CG106) | S K Sit | B1 | Very poor effort, caught wide early but soon 2-wide and 4Ls back in 4th at 1100 M, struggling from 600 M, dropped out in home straight. |
