1 10 POWER COOL (P054) T H So -- Settled worse than midfield, about 4Ls behind the leader on the fence, despite not suited by the very slow tempo, dashed on strongly inside final 100M to score by a neck.
2 1 RED LUCKY STAR (M074) O Doleuze B/XB Hard ridden to take the fence and led by 3/4L at very slow sectionals, hung on strongly until final few strides, just beaten by a neck.
3 11 P J HALL (P216) C Y Ho -- Sent forward to park outside the leader, 600M switched to 3 wide, suited by the very slow pace, kept on well to get 3rd. (Questioned for riding, see incident report)
4 2 SMART KIDS (CL253) Z Purton TT Camped handy 2 wide with cover, despite benefited by the very slow pace, stayed on steadily without any threats to take the victory.
5 4 CAPITAL K (M224) W C Marwing -- Eased back, settled 4Ls behind the leader 3 wide with cover, despite harmed by the very slow pace, ran on strongly.
6 9 KING ON EARTH (CL251) H W Lai SR Pushed to obtain the box seat, benefited by the very slow pace, stayed well until final 100M unable to obtain a clear running.
7 3 GOLDEN GUNNERS (N330) C Y Lui TT Taken back from the wide gate, settled 5Ls behind the leader on the fence, despite hampered by the very slow pace and lay in badly in straight, ran on ok.
8 5 HIGH RETURN (CK164) C O'Donoghue B-/TT- Began only fairly, raced midfield about 3Ls off the very slow tempo 3 wide with cover, kept on one pace to the line.
9 6 HELLO KIMBERLEY (P205) K Teetan TT Always last few, made no impression throughout.
10 8 WINE LOVERS (P304) W M Lai B1 Always at rear, never a factor.
