1 | 8 | MONZA KING (BV280) | D Whyte | -- | 3-wide and about 7Ls off pace early on, made steady improvement from 900 M out to enter home straight 3Ls down and 5-wide, quickened up well to grab DARWIN 200 M out, pushed out. |
2 | 1 | DARWIN (CA068) | S Dye | -- | Sent on to race wide round first bend and assume lead 1800 M out, never led by more than 2Ls throughout, collared by winner 200 M out, stayed on. |
3 | 2 | WONDERFUL LIFE (BV285) | F Coetzee | TT | Very awkwardly away losing at least 3Ls as a result, raced 8Ls off pace down back straight, turned in racing 5-wide, 6Ls down, ran on to grab third but no chance with principals. |
4 | 5 | SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) | D Dunn | B | Raced near rear 2-wide 7Ls off pace, 6Ls down turning in, took time to unwind in straight and comfortably held from 3rd place. |
5 | 3 | THE RICH MAN (BS130) | G Mosse | -- | Always wide on the track, 3-wide 6Ls off leader 1600 M out, 4-wide 1000 M before creeping to sit 3Ls off pace but 5-wide 400 M out, one-paced closing stages. |
6 | 14 | OPTIC CHIEF (BV072) | Y T Cheng | -- | Always prominent racing 2-wide and about 3Ls off pace in 3rd, 4th or 5th place until home straight when still travelling smoothly, still with place prospects 200 M out but soon weakened. |
7 | 10 | SUPER SPLENDID (BT081) | E Legrix | B | 5Ls off leader and on fence 1600 M out, marginally closer entering straight but never threatened to better position in straight. |
8 | 9 | LOK WAH TREASURE (CA361) | O Doleuze | -- | Not break well and checked first bend, steadied in rear and on inside 6 to 7Ls down until straight, disappointed for running room 350 M out and finished off evenly along rail. |
9 | 11 | BRILLIANT LEADER (BS211) | B Marcus | B/TT | Bounded on exiting, soon racing 2 and 3-wide 4 to 5Ls off pace until home straight, not finish off well. |
10 | 4 | ORIENTAL TREASURE (BT030) | W M Lai | TT | Raced 2-wide 4Ls off speed in midfield until final bend home straight when nearer rear and crowded for room on all sides, no further impression. |
11 | 12 | EXPRESS LOT (BT188) | Hammer-Hansen | B | Hugged rails and never much worse than 3Ls off pace through to 800 M out when niggled along to lie up, gradually receded. |
12 | 13 | SEA PEARL (BS262) | W Woods | -- | Never travelled well at any stage though raced 2nd from 1600 M to 350 M out, always niggled and scrubbed along, dropped away very quickly in straight. |
13 | 6 | BRAVO VICTORY (BT095) | E Saint-Martin | B | Had the run of the on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1600 M to 700 M when niggled along, all out to maintain position entering straight, soon well beaten. |
14 | 7 | STRATEGIC MOVE (BP233) | M W Leung | B | Raced 3-wide from first bend when about 4Ls off lead, improved from 1200 M to go 3rd 2Ls down but 4-wide and under pressure entering stretch, was first one eased down 300 M out. |
