1 | 3 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | F Coetzee | TT1 | Steadied at 1000 M eased right into box-seat trail 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 800 M to home turn, edged out to challenge 150 M out and ran on well to lead final strides. |
2 | 12 | OBVIOUSLY (CG085) | K L Chui | -- | Disputed early lead on fence but over-racing until the 600 M when 1L clear, went about 2Ls clear at 150 M but no extra late and caught final strides. |
3 | 1 | DR POSSI (CE288) | G Mosse | -- | Midfield or better about 2Ls or 3Ls off pace until homestretch, ran on quite well for 3rd late but never threatened to quinella. |
4 | 9 | GEM MASTER (CG235) | E Saint-Martin | B1/TT | 3-back on fence throughout and about 4Ls off pace early, niggled along at 600 M to keep up, still with 4Ls to make up at 200 M but dashed well late, never nearer. |
5 | 10 | NEW TRIUMPH (CG105) | B Prebble | CP | Disputed early lead out 2-wide at 1000 M, settled 1L back in 2nd at 600 M, still about 2Ls down in 2nd at 200 M but faded out of placegetters in final 50 M. |
6 | 8 | SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) | O Doleuze | V1 | 3-wide with cover in about 8th place and 4Ls off pace until home straight, never threatened to run better than midfield. |
7 | 4 | BUDDIES SPIRIT (CD042) | D Nikolic | -- | Awkward break and jockey lucky to stay on, towards rear about 6Ls off pace until home turn, ran on fairly late, never nearer. |
8 | 2 | SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) | D Whyte | V | Slowly away, towards rear about 6Ls off pace until home turn, never going to be much better than midfield when checked at 100 M, no danger. |
9 | 6 | GOLDEN STRIDE (CA343) | M Nunes | B/TT | Caught 3-wide no cover in 1L off pace early on, slipped back over 2Ls back at final bend, very one-paced in home straight. |
10 | 11 | PROFIT HILL (CE274) | M Odendaal | PC- | Always caught 4-wide no cover in midfield about 4Ls off pace until home turn, no surprise that he would fade out. |
11 | 7 | REWARDING STAR (CG234) | H W Lai | -- | Awkward break losing ground, 8Ls off pace in rear and under pressure 500 M out, plugged on at same pace. |
12 | 5 | SPICY HOT (CH064) | S Dye | -- | No speed and 5-wide no cover in rear early on about 8Ls off pace, about 7Ls behind in last turning for home, never figured. |
