1 | 11 | TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) | B Prebble | -- | Slipped into box-seat position 2Ls off pace in 4th on fence at 1300 M and moved into the clear entering home straight, led over 200 M out, tired late and just hung on to score. |
2 | 2 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | G Mosse | B | Settled 9Ls last at 1400 M, 6Ls down in 11th turning for home, stayed on strongly down centre of track but post came a few strides too soon to deny victory. |
3 | 12 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | D Nikolic | B | Slowly away again, never travelled very well, niggled along on fence in midfield about 5Ls off the pace at halfway, laboured his way to place inside final strides. |
4 | 1 | MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) | H W Lai | P | Raced about 5Ls off pace in mid-division at halfway, 4Ls down in midfield turning for home, every chance to place but but could only stay on evenly and missed out. |
5 | 4 | JOY TRUMPS (CD242) | K L Chui | B/TT | Awkward break, worse than midfield 3-wide no cover when 7Ls off pace at 900 M, 6Ls off pace in 10th at home turn, made some fair late ground, never nearer. |
6 | 13 | BAUHINIA (CD118) | F Coetzee | B-/PC2 | Disputed early speed out 3-wide no cover before leading on fence at 1000 M, same margin clear at home straight entrance but headed about 250 M out, faded late. |
7 | 9 | JUSTINIAN (CB324) | A Delpech | -- | Best away and disputed early pace on fence, settled over 1L back in 3rd at halfway and still right there 2Ls down in 3rd taking final bend, one-paced in the finish. |
8 | 3 | SUPER BALL (CD064) | S Dye | B | Crossed to fence from wide gate, settled at least 6Ls back in 12th or so until halfway, edged a little closer off home turn, plugged on at the same pace. |
9 | 7 | MYTHIC STEED (CD208) | O Doleuze | PC/H | 2Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, caught 3-wide no cover on the circle and 1L down in 2nd at home turn when hard ridden, soon wilted. |
10 | 6 | GOLD DIGGER (CD101) | C K Tong | CP | 10Ls last on fence at 1000 M, 7Ls down in 12th off final turn, never remotely dangerous. |
11 | 14 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | D Whyte | -- | 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, steadily lost this position on the circle and off the bridle turning for home, gave further ground. |
12 | 5 | KING CREOLE (CG287) | Y T Cheng | B | More prominent than usual, disputed early pace out 2-wide on fence at 1300 M, 1L down in 2nd at halfway, 2Ls down in 4th and under pressure to lie up, gave ground. |
13 | 10 | SILLY BOY (CC094) | M Nunes | B/TT | Caught without cover early on, gained cover at halfway when 4Ls off speed, very weak from top of home straight. |
14 | 8 | SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) | W M Lai | -- | Caught 4 and 5-wide without cover throughout, pressed on to to 3Ls back in midfield at halfway, lost this position on the circle and poor in the finish. |
