1 2 NATURAL NINE (CG087) G Mosse XB Well placed 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in 4th or 5th down the back, 1L down in 3rd at top of home stretch, shifted out over 200 M out, bumped runner-up at over 50 M but always on top.
2 7 SOHNA (CG183) D Whyte -- Nice position 3Ls off speed and 2-wide in 6th or so until halfway, loomed closer at home turn, had every chance to go past winner before being knocked unbalanced over 50 M out.
3 8 BIG KAHUNA (CG177) O Doleuze B1 Fractious in gates, keen early on, 5Ls back in midfield at 800 M, travelled well entering stretch, finished fairly for a place without threatening quinella pair.
4 1 CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) A Delpech B Without cover worse than midfield early, 3-wide with cover from 900 M about 6Ls off pace, kept on at the same tempo in the straight.
5 10 MULTIMIGHTY (CG175) B Prebble B1/TT Awkward break, carried head awkwardly while disputing lead out 2-wide, a neck to the good on straightening, headed over 200 M out and weakened late. (Blood in trachea.)
6 13 BIG WINNER (CD229) F Coetzee B/TT 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off speed until home straight, failed to quicken up.
7 3 SUPER DANA (CC293) H W Lai B Enjoyed box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th or so until home turn, soon outpaced.
8 6 ZONUS (CE149) D Nikolic TT Sent on to lead on fence at 1200 M, disputing pace from 1000 M to home turn, soon faded out.
9 14 DANRIVA (CA040) S K Sit -- Never better than midfield nor closer than 6Ls to the pace.
10 4 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) M W Leung PC-/B2/H Always in rear bunch, shoved out wider at 1100 M, 8Ls last turning for home, never a factor.
11 9 NAMJONG MONEY (CG176) K S Yu B Slow to begin, always in rear at least 6Ls behind leaders, very weak in homestretch.
12 12 TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) C K Tong B/TT 4-back on fence down backstretch about 4Ls off pace in 9th or so until home turn, found nothing off the bit.
13 11 A PLUS FIT (CD013) M Nunes B Switched from wide gate for cover, soon very unruly and shifted out 1100 M out to press on 3-wide no cover, 4Ls back in midfield struggling turning for home, dropped out.
