1 10 LITTLE RAINFOREST (N101) M Chadwick TT Went forward and led from the outside gate and strolled along at a genuine tempo on the fence. Increased its lead over the field midrace by a number of lengths and made every post a winner, scoring well.
2 6 BRILLIANT CHARIOT (CL242) O Doleuze B/TT Parked 3 back the fence with cover. Peeled out into the clear on straightening and chased hard.
3 2 TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) K C Ng B Enjoyed a nice run in the race on the fence with cover, behind the speed. Shifted away from the rail to improve after the 700m, kept on soundly in the run home.
4 5 EASY AHEAD (CK212) T H So H/TT1 Ridden along early but couldn't go the early speed of the race, settling third 1 off the fence no cover. Began to improve after the 800m, was one paced in the straight, tired late.
5 8 WIN IT (P032) Z Purton CP Slow to begin, travelling behind midfield on the paint with cover. Finished off reasonably towards the inside.
6 11 RECORD HIGH (CK202) Y T Cheng B/SR Camped 3 back, 2 deep with cover. Shifted out after the 700m, 3 deep to go forward. Finished off one paced in the final stretch.
7 1 HIGHEST ACCLAIM (N345) B Prebble -- Taken back from a wide gate and travelled third at the rear, on the rails with cover. Came widest in the straight and made steady progress without threatening.
8 12 MEGA CASTLE (CL333) W M Lai B Raced midfield, 2 deep with cover. Was dour in the run to the line.
9 7 CRAIG'S PRIDE (M274) T Angland B-/H Taken back and settled in last position on the paint with cover. Failed to make any impression in the home stretch.
10 3 TARREGA (M322) C Y Lui H1 Enjoyed all the favours travelling in second position on the fence with some cover. Faded in the straight after having every possible chance.
11 4 EASY GOLD (CL431) T Clark B/TT Travelled worse than midfield 2 deep with cover. Made no impression in the run to the wire.
12 9 EVER INVINCIBLE (N057) C Y Ho B/TT Settled with the backmakers, 1 off with cover. Struggled over the final 400m.
