1 | 13 | NOTHINGILIKEMORE (V388) | J Moreira | B | Showed good early speed to go to the front and set the tempo. Surprised everyone with big turn off foot from the 350m, and pulled away under minimal urging. Eased early, and still pulling away under a hold on the line. |
2 | 8 | REGENCY BO BO (A050) | N Callan | -- | Taken forward early to be handily placed in 3rd, 1 off the fence. Progressed solidly to the line and held off 2nd place challengers, but no match for winner. |
3 | 9 | SUPER SIXTEEN (V327) | S De Sousa | TT | Cruised forward from the inside draw to be handily placed 4th, on the rail. Looked gone at the 200m, but kicked again to just miss 2nd in a head bobber. |
4 | 12 | SMILING CHARM (V321) | A Badel | CP/H/TT | Began well, but eased back early to sit midfield, 3 wide. Looked gone at 300m, but had a second wind and was closing in on 2nd and 3rd late. |
5 | 5 | MONGOLIAN KING (A098) | N Rawiller | B/TT1 | Unsettled early, and was checked off heels 1200m, before settling worse than midfield. Stuck to the rail in the straight and ran steadily without ever threatening a place. |
6 | 2 | FRIENDS OF NANJING (V140) | Z Purton | -- | Dropped back early to sit in the last pair. Widest on the turn, and last at the 400m. Progressed solidly in the straight, and stayed on OK late. |
7 | 1 | MIGHTY MAVERICK (V150) | K Teetan | CP/XB | Cruised forward early to settle forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Came wider on the turn for a run, but only battled fairly to the line and under hands and heels late. |
8 | 14 | GENEROUS HEART (V394) | C Schofield | B-/H/XB/V1 | Dropped back early to sit towards the rear of the field, 3 wide. No clear run early in the straight, but plugged on steadily when clear from the 300m. |
9 | 11 | CLUB LIFE (P309) | U Rispoli | B-/XB | Taken forward to sit forward of midfield, 3 wide no cover from the 1000m. Well positioned on the turn, but went to the line 1 paced. |
10 | 3 | TANG FLEMING (A067) | G Schofield | SR1/TT | Began well, but eased back early to sit midfield, 4 wide no cover until the 900m. Wider on the turn, and only plugged away to the line. |
11 | 10 | AVELLINO (T388) | C Y Ho | CP/H | Dropped back from the wide draw to sit dead last. Plugged away non-threateningly in the straight. |
12 | 7 | FIRST FONTEIN (V361) | B Prebble | -- | Steadied around the back of the field early, before taking up a position midfield. Dropping off before the turn. Had no impact in the straight, and eased late. |
13 | 6 | EXPERTO CREDE (A110) | S Clipperton | H | Slow to begin. Recovered to sit forward of midfield, on the fence. Off heels at 400m, but had nothing in the straight. |
14 | 4 | JADE THEATRE (A040) | K C Leung | B | Pushed forward early to eventually share the lead by 1000m. Fading by the turn, and faded out meekly in the straight before easing a long way from home. |
