1 | 13 | SUPER TEAM (M036) | M L Yeung | B | Parked 3 back the fence. Commenced to shift out after the 600m, and finished off well and had the race in its keeping 30m out. |
2 | 5 | GOOD THINKER (M127) | T Angland | V | Camped midfield, 1 off with cover. Briefly held up early in the straight, switched out and ran on nicely. |
3 | 4 | IRON HAWK (M197) | Z Purton | CP | Proved difficult to settle in the early and middle stages, travelling 2 deep with cover, worse than midfield. Closed off with a lot of purpose towards the outside. |
4 | 12 | TOP DRAGON (CK342) | W M Lai | B2 | Went back from the outside alley travelling 2nd from the rear along the paint. Closed off strongly through the field. |
5 | 8 | SADDLERS LODGE (CL406) | D Whyte | B2 | Led early then handed up near the 1000m, settling 1 off. Shot clear early in the straight and looked the winner but was swamped after the 50m. |
6 | 9 | PANTHER RUN (CL140) | H W Lai | TT | Travelled with the backmakers 3 wide with cover. Ran on late. |
7 | 10 | DARS AUTO (M418) | T Clark | -- | Tracked the leader after the 1000m along the fence. Faded over the concluding stages. |
8 | 14 | REAL DRAGON (M144) | M Chadwick | TT | Settled behind the leaders, 2 wide with cover. Was running on empty inside the final 50m. |
9 | 2 | MOON CHASER (CK013) | G Mosse | V1/TT | Taken back from a wide gate settling in last position travelling just off the fence. Peeled out 4 wide after the 600m, still had cover, straightened about 8 deep, closed off soundly. |
10 | 7 | KINGSTON SPARTACUS (CL116) | O Doleuze | -- | Raced behind midfield, 3 wide with cover. Cornered wide and only plodded to the line. |
11 | 3 | AMAZING SUPERNOVA (M380) | U Rispoli | -- | Settled back in the field on the rails with cover, crept forward and travelled close to midfield after the 1000m. Kept to the inside in the straight but failed to close off. |
12 | 1 | CLYDESIDER (M283) | M Du Plessis | H | Had every possible chance settling 3 back, 2 deep with cover. Was a beaten horse early in the home straight. |
13 | 6 | GIANTS SERAPIS (M285) | Y T Cheng | SR2 | Posted 3 wide without cover on the circle, midfield. Never a factor. |
14 | 11 | MARK GOOD (M005) | T H So | SR-/B1 | Sent forward and eventually crossed and led along the paint near the 1000m. Faded quickly over the final 250m. Reported the following day to be lame in the left front. |
