1 | 11 | SAMBUOYANT (CE172) | Y T Cheng | B | Couldn't go the early speed and settled near the rear of the field. Turning into the back straight while 3-wide, no cover, went forward to join the leader on its outside at the 800 M. Managed to out grind challengers in the run home. |
2 | 4 | FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) | O Doleuze | -- | Raced 3 back along the fence peeled out on straightening, loomed as likely danger, was given every chance. |
3 | 14 | BARRACUDA (CB320) | S Dye | -- | Led along the fence at even tempo, no excuses. |
4 | 3 | SEA TREASURE (CD335) | M Nunes | B/XB | Raced midfield before being shuffled back to last position along the fence near the 900 M. Was checked near the 700 M, however made fair ground over the concluding stages. |
5 | 2 | ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) | W M Lai | B | Was 3 deep with cover until slotting into 1 off passing the 1400 M. Dour when under pressure over the final stages. |
6 | 5 | PALETTE THE BEST (CH151) | D Whyte | XB1 | Settled in the rear division on the fence, shifted out 3 deep and went forward with cover from the 800 M, but was never likely. |
7 | 13 | FOREVER RICHES (CG174) | S K Sit | B | Raced at the tail of the field 2 deep with cover, was hampered near the 1200 M and did little over the final 300 M. |
8 | 7 | VINCERE (CE324) | D Beadman | B-/CP1 | Travelled midfield the fence, copped a check near the 700 M. Made some headway early in the straight before fading on its run inside the furlong. |
9 | 8 | BIG WINNER (CD229) | K Shea | B/TT | Parked behind the leader on the fence, struggled at the business end. |
10 | 6 | SHINING DAY (CE163) | K L Chui | B/TT | Settled 2 deep midfield with cover, received a check near the 700 M when giving ground. Never a factor. |
11 | 1 | CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) | B Prebble | B | Positioned 1 off with cover in last spot. Attempted to track into the race after the 900 M but failed to run on. |
12 | 12 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | G Mosse | TT | Raced close to midfield, 1 off with cover before shifting to the 3-wide line and going forward near the 1000 M. Was caught wide & without cover for the remainder of the journey. |
13 | 10 | SUPREME DRAGON (CH161) | Z Purton | -- | Went forward early to race upsides with the leader. Couldn't maintain its position from the 800 M and gradually drifted back. |
14 | 9 | MASTER MASTER (CH144) | F Coetzee | B | Shortly after the start was checked and stumbled when crowded. Postioned 1 off behind midfield, overraced in the early & middle stages & travelled wide and without cover from the 1100 M. |
