1 10 CIRCUIT KINGDOM (CB046) D Whyte -- Always prominent but caught wide until about 800 M out when 2-wide in 2nd, 1L off pace, similarly placed turning for home, led 300 M out, held on gamely.
2 6 MEDIC CORPS (CB200) F Coetzee TT1 Always travelled well at least 4-wide and about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace down backstretch, closer turning in, picked up well to go 1L off pace 200 M out, kept on very well but just missed.
3 9 SHINING GEM (CA180) G Mosse SR/H Dropped in midfield racing 3-wide and about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace through to home straight, found a gap 200 M out when over 2Ls down, finished off very well but just missed.
4 2 KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) R Quinn SR1 At least 3-wide and about 3Ls off pace 1000 M out, closer turning for home, a neck down and with every chance 200 M out, did not follow through.
5 1 SMILING FOREST (BV286) C Williams BO Held up towards rear racing 3-wide and about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace before entering home straight 5-wide, over 2Ls down 200 M out, kept on well but never looked like winning.
6 4 MENDOZA (CA197) W C Marwing P- Covered up in midfield about 4Ls off lead though tended to race freely, still in mid-division on the swing, stayed on same pace though was slightly impeded near line.

8 12 RESOURCEFUL PRINCE (CA323) W M Lai B Out 4-deep and 5Ls off lead 1000 M out, still wide but just 3Ls down (and hard ridden) entering homestretch, outpaced but stayed on well again to be nearest at finish.
9 8 SHABU SHABU (CB290) D Dunn SR Awkwardly away, 6Ls off pace 1200 M out, 5Ls down and 3-wide entering straight, staying on but non-threatening when impeded inside final 200 M, eased down.
