1 | 12 | CALIFORNIA LUCK (CG215) | K L Chui | TT | Away well, soon settled into box-seat role on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd, keen at 800 M, found clear running room at top of home straight and stayed on well to hit lead 100 M out, eased down close home. |
2 | 11 | TOP TOP LIGHT (CG182) | G Mosse | TT | Racing freely when 3-back on fence better than midfield about 4Ls off pace at halfway, edged a little closer turning for home, stayed on well for 2nd but winner was too strong. |
3 | 6 | FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) | D Whyte | B | Away well and soon led, crossed to fence leading by 1L at 900 M, same margin ahead until the 200 M, headed by winner at 100 M and quickly lost out on quinella. |
4 | 5 | CRYSTAL (CE209) | C W Wong | B | Always close-up in 2nd out 2-wide and about 1L off pace until home straight, had every chance to at least place but lacked an extra burst when it mattered. |
5 | 4 | HOLIGAN (CH003) | D Beadman | B | Slowly away, 4-back on fence about 5Ls back in 10th at 1000 M, same margin behind taking home turn, stayed on fairly late without threatening principals. |
6 | 1 | WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) | O Doleuze | -- | With cover in rear bunch about 7Ls behind at 1000 M, marginally closer turning for home, stayed on well enough down centre of track, nearest at finish. |
7 | 14 | SOLAR (CC198) | D Dunn | B | Bumped at start, on fence 8Ls off pace in last at 1000 M, 6Ls back in 13th at home turn, made some minor late headway but never dangerous. |
8 | 10 | SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) | A Delpech | -- | Close up in 4th or 5th about 2Ls or so off pace but 3-wide no cover until halfway, hard pressed to hang onto this proximity at home turn and 200 M, one-paced close home. |
9 | 13 | CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) | W M Lai | -- | 4-wide but mostly with cover in rear and about 6Ls back in 11th at 1000 M, 5-wide and still well back taking home turn, made little impact. |
10 | 7 | DELIGHTFUL WIN (CC154) | H W Lai | -- | Never better than midfield, slow break and always at least 4Ls from the front, lost further ground in homestretch. |
11 | 3 | MULLAAD (CG259) | F Coetzee | -- | Never travelled well, keen early on when about 3Ls back in 6th, under pressure to lie up 600 M out, gave ground tamely from top of home straight. |
12 | 2 | CHIMERA (CG242) | M Nunes | XB/TT | Worse than midfield 3-wide with cover about 5Ls from the front at 1000 M, a little further back when 4-wide taking final bend, remained in rear. |
13 | 8 | OWNERS LAD (CG273) | B Prebble | B/TT | Always 4-wide no cover and keen, checked at 1100 M when about 3Ls back in midfield, 4-wide turning for home when under pressure to keep up, dropped out rapidly, had excuses. (Blood in trachea.) |
