1 | 3 | HIP HIP HOORAY (CD258) | D Whyte | B | Disputed lead early on fence, settled about 2Ls back in 2nd at 700 M, picked up well off home turn to lead 300 M out, driven out, just hung on. |
2 | 7 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | G Schofield | -- | Always niggled along when 2-wide about 8Ls behind in 12th down backstretch, 4-wide on the swing when 5Ls behind, ran on very strongly, failed narrowly. |
3 | 6 | SUNRISE RAINBOW (CD209) | O Doleuze | SR | 2-wide and about 6Ls behind in 10th along backstretch, closer over 3Ls back in mid-division off final bend, ran on well to nick a place in final strides. |
4 | 8 | ISLAND SPIRIT (CD014) | R Fradd | V | 4Ls behind in 5th when 3-wide without cover at 800 M, 4-wide entering straight and under 1L back in 2nd at the 200 M, lost a place final strides. |
5 | 14 | ROYAL VICTORY (CD143) | M Rodd | -- | Raced 3-wide with cover in 9th about 6Ls off pace until 800 M out, 4-wide and 4Ls down in same spot entering straight, ran on quite well despite weakening final 100 M, improved. |
6 | 13 | BULLISH KID (CC162) | F Coetzee | TT | Threw head up on exiting and settled about 9Ls off pace down the back, 5Ls behind and one from rear taking home turn, switched out and steadied 200 M out, ran on well, never nearer. |
7 | 11 | HORSE AROUND (CB361) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Always within about 2Ls of the speed in 3rd down the backstretch, 1L back in 4th off final bend when hanging out, one-paced thereafter. (Significant amount of blood in trachea.) |
8 | 4 | TOP HEALTH (CD015) | Y Lerner | TT1 | On fence in midfield no worse than 4Ls or 5Ls off pace (checked slightly at 800 M) through to home straight, not dangerous. |
9 | 10 | GOLD MASTER (CC365) | H W Lai | B2 | In midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls behind until 800 M when hanging out a little, 3Ls back in 6th when 2-wide entering straight, soon outpaced. |
10 | 9 | UPPA HAND (CD221) | A Marcus | B | Slowest away, 3-wide about 4Ls behind in midfield at 900 M, steadied at 700 M and 4-wide into home straight, no impression. |
11 | 1 | MAN ON THE MOON (CD156) | P Payne | B | Settled in rear about 9Ls behind and 2 and 3-wide down the backstretch, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, posed no danger down centre of track. |
12 | 2 | SAND DANCE (CD022) | S Dye | -- | Mostly 2-wide but always tended to hang in towards fence, 3Ls behind in 4th at the 800 M, 2Ls down in 5th turning for home, beaten over 200 M out. |
13 | 12 | KING OF TURBOT (CD181) | S K Sit | -- | On fence 8Ls behind in 10th for most of backstretch, under pressure when 6Ls last entering home straight, never a factor. |
14 | 5 | FANTASTIC HORSE (CB314) | C K Tong | B | Disputed lead out 2-wide at 1000 M and went 2Ls clear 700 M out, joined by winner turning for home and weakened quickly from 300 M out. |
