1 | 9 | DEFLECT (CD094) | D Nikolic | XB1/H/TT | Flanked leader out 2-wide about half a length off speed in 2nd until homestretch, led narrowly at the 200 M, hung left under pressure and all out to just score. |
2 | 6 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | D Whyte | V/XB | Disputed early lead, edged to narrow lead on fence at 1200 M until home turn, headed over 200 M out but battled back and only barely missed the win. |
3 | 7 | SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) | G Mosse | B | Steadied towards rear through first half about 6Ls off pace and not much closer turning for home, stayed on well late down centre of track for 3rd despite hanging in. |
4 | 3 | A PLUS FIT (CD013) | O Doleuze | B | Awkwardly away, over-raced when 3-wide with cover in midfield about 4Ls off pace until halfway, driven along to get closer turning for home, hung in late but did make a little ground. |
5 | 14 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | H K Yim | CP/XB | 3-back on fence in midfield at 1000 M when 4Ls from the front, about 3Ls down entering stretch, 2Ls down in 3rd with every chance to place at 200 M but tired late. |
6 | 8 | SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) | F Coetzee | -- | Worse than midfield about 5Ls off the speed until turning for home, made some decent late ground through the pack to be closest at the line. |
7 | 10 | MIRACLE DRAGON (CD254) | B Prebble | V/H | Checked at 1200 M, 4Ls back in midfield from halfway to straight when driven along, failed to find clear running until about 100 M when too late to make an impact. |
8 | 5 | CHALLENGER (CE138) | A Starke | P-/TT | Slowly away, checked on fence at 1200 M and raced 4-back about 5Ls off pace in 12th at the 800 M, one-paced on the inner without ever threatening leaders in the finish. |
9 | 2 | SILVERBIRD (CB335) | C K Tong | CP/TT | Keen until the 1000 M when 5Ls back in 8th or so with cover, similarly placed turning for home but never looked like reaching the principals. |
10 | 1 | WORLD SERIES (CG121) | M W Leung | B | Soon 8Ls last, a little detached and same margin behind entering home straight, made some very minor late headway down centre of track. |
11 | 13 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | S Dye | -- | Worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace early on, caught 4-wide no cover at the 800 M and forced widest off final bend when losing ground, no impression. |
12 | 4 | KNIGHT TEMPLAR (CC021) | A Delpech | B | Had a nice 'one-out one-back' position behind a slow tempo until the 600 M, niggled along when 2Ls back in 3rd entering stretch, very weak finish. |
13 | 12 | DOLPHIN STAR (CC271) | W M Lai | B/SR | Caught wide without cover throughout, 4-wide no cover in rear early on, pressed on to go 3-wide no cover 2Ls back from 800 M to home turn, quickly folded. |
14 | 11 | NATIVE LANGUAGE (CB116) | C W Wong | B | Had the box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or so from 1200 M to home straight, found zero once the tempo quickened, very tame effort. |
