1 | 13 | MEDIC LEGION (CE162) | A Delpech | -- | Coldly ridden 7Ls off pace in 13th early, improved on circle but turned for home 5-wide (widest of all), picked up nicely to lead 50 M out, ran on. |
2 | 1 | BYRON (CD275) | O Doleuze | -- | 3-wide with cover in midfield about 4Ls behind at halfway, closer on straightening and led over 200 M out, collared by winner at 50 M, no extra. |
3 | 8 | SOHNA (CG183) | D Whyte | -- | Travelled well 2-wide and 3Ls off pace at 1000 M in 6th or so, 2Ls down in 5th off final bend, had every chance but failed to sustain effort inside final 200 M. |
4 | 14 | SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) | C W Wong | -- | Broke best and pressed on out wide to lead on fence at 800 M, headed at the 200 M and weakened to miss a place. |
5 | 11 | FAST TRACK (CB375) | D Nikolic | B | Worse than midfield about 6Ls from the pace at 1000 M, 3Ls back and 4-wide taking home turn, place prospects when 1L down at 200 M but failed to follow through. |
6 | 7 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | B Prebble | -- | Settled on fence towards rear about 6Ls behind early speed, 4Ls off pace and 3-wide entering home straight, tended to hang in under pressure and lacked the kick of principals. |
7 | 6 | ZONUS (CE149) | M Nunes | CP-/TT1 | Awkward break, with cover and 5Ls off pace at halfway, 4Ls down turning for home, one-paced and always booked for a mid-division finish. |
8 | 5 | LIFELINE PEGASUS (CH067) | F Coetzee | -- | Slow to start but soon recovered to be 2Ls off pace in the box-seat position, 1L down in 3rd turning for home, faded steadily. |
9 | 9 | BRAVE COMMANDER (CC322) | K L Chui | TT | Prominent early and caught 3-wide no-cover when 2Ls back in 4th at 800 M, pressed forward to be 1L back in 2nd entering homestretch, soon petered out. |
10 | 2 | CAGA BOY (CG060) | Y T Cheng | B | 4-back on fence in midfield about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, ridden to take closer order on straightening, always comfortably held. |
11 | 10 | DEVON FLAIR (CD240) | H W Lai | V | Bounded at start, raced 2 and 3-wide but always had cover in midfield or better, 2Ls down in 4th taking home turn, faded out. |
12 | 12 | LUCKY CORDELIA (CD088) | W M Lai | -- | Always in rear, 9Ls last 1000 M, 5Ls last entering homestretch, never competitive. |
13 | 4 | AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) | H K Yim | B | Nicely placed 3-back on fence at 1000 M over 2Ls off pace, niggled along to keep up on circle, folded tamely from top of home straight. |
14 | 3 | WINNING PATTERN (CG125) | R Fradd | -- | Went forward early, 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 900 M, 2Ls down in 4th entering home straight, dropped right out. |
