1 | 13 | FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) | D Whyte | B | Bounced out, showed plenty to lead them easily, dictated terms from front, challenged throughout by outside horses, shaded on turning in, saved for 1 crack and kicked hard past 250 M, showed good fight to hold off late challenge. |
2 | 7 | HE CAN TANGO (CG288) | O Doleuze | B | Evenly away, took up a prominent spot behind the speed 1 out 1 back 2 to 3Ls away, appreciated trail and tracked nicely to bend, tracked leaders for 1 sprint and dashed hard when clear at 200 M failing by smallest margin. |
3 | 12 | CALIFORNIA LUCK (CG215) | S K Sit | TT | Amongst them to leave gates, caught wide early and rolled on to apply pressure, always working 3 wide without cover hitting lead on bend, continued to challenge in straight but run ended at 200 M. Good for workload. |
4 | 5 | PRIME SCORE (CG280) | B Prebble | B | Standard jump, lacked early speed and soon positioned behind midfield on rails 4 to 5Ls away, saved ground on bend, still in traffic for most of straight and closed off nicely when clear running presented to be nearest on line. |
5 | 3 | FERRO BEAU (CG244) | D Nikolic | TT1 | Slow to begin and crowded, recovered to settle in 2 wide line behind midfield, not asked in mid-section, still 4 to 5Ls back between horses on bend, into clear at top of straight and closed steadily without threatening. |
6 | 8 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | F Coetzee | -- | Jumped well, had enough speed to roll on and sit outside leader, didn't have easy time with pressure from outside horse, kept challenging on turning and still there to 200 M but condition gave out late. |
7 | 11 | BRILLIANT TREASURE (CH045) | K T Yeung | -- | Began evenly, drove through to hold leaders back, had run of race but travelled a little keenly in mid-section, tracked nicely on turning, lacked an extra gear last 200 M and just kept on at same clip in run to line. |
8 | 1 | CARRIZO CREEK (CE132) | D Oliver | B | Slowly into stride and checked, urged along but forced to settle next to last, raced on rails 6 to 7Ls off them, saved ground close to rails on turning, steadily improved from well back in straight to be nearest on line. |
9 | 10 | MAINLAND SHUTTLE (CG315) | G Mosse | -- | Little speed from outset and restrained to trail at rear 6 to 7Ls back, travelled comfortably at rear and improved tracking 3 wide on bend, into clear at 300 M and closed steadily but gave away too much start. |
10 | 14 | DARE TO WIN (CG099) | C W Wong | SB | Away well, didn't have speed to cross and forced to travel 3 to 4 wide without cover, did plenty of work to bend and struggling turning in, showed little in run home and just battled last 200 M. |
11 | 6 | SECRET OF KINGS (CG102) | A Starke | B1 | Standard beginning, positioned in rearward division 6Ls back 3 wide with cover, made a run 4 wide on bend and swung 6 wide into straight, didn't produce usual finish and just plugged away in straight. |
12 | 2 | WINNING REWARD (CE254) | H W Lai | B | Began with field, unable to slot in from an awkward draw and faded back towards rear, raced 3 to 4 wide without cover and did plenty of work 5 wide on bend, couldn't find in straight and struggled to line. |
13 | 4 | FLASHING STAR (CC018) | P H Lo | B | Jumped in line, caught wide early and pressed on 4 wide to challenge, posted 4 wide without cover throughout doing power of work, struggling when turning in and weakened out badly from 200 M when run ended. |
14 | 9 | KEY WINNER (CG157) | K L Chui | -- | Well enough to jump, positioned in midfield 3 wide 3 to 4Ls back, had cover throughout, began to struggle on bend and under real pressure on turning, weakened out badly in stretch to be well beaten. |
