1 11 BONDI LAD (CK121) W M Lai H Jumped fast, pushed hard to take the lead and find the rails passing 900 M, suited by the soft tempo, responded strongly when asked for efforts in home straight, never threatened.
2 8 BEAUTY EXPRESS (CJ284) J Victoire -- Pushed hard to hold a fence position in midfield, urged along turning for home, ran on strongly under pressure final 250 M but found it too late to challenge the winner.
3 3 GLENEALY STAR (CH284) T H So TT Broke well from gate 1, niggled along to take the box-seat just behind the leader, crowded for room early in straight, fought hard for 3rd under maximum pressure.
4 6 HAPPY REUNION (CK163) Z Purton B/TT Driven to sit cozily in the one out one back spot, had his chance in home straight, hung in and bumped near 200 M, just lost a place in last few strides.

7 5 NORTH HILL (CJ082) A Suborics -- Given a waiting ride as usual and travelled 6Ls behind the pace, crept closer along 3-wide from 600 M, made little ground in home straight but never really troubled the principals.
