1 | 4 | GLORIOUS SUNDAY (P250) | K Teetan | XB | Average beginning, ridden up to hold a spot behind midfield 5ls or more away on rails, easy time to bend and tracked up nicely, weaved between horses closing hard late to get up with some in hand. |
2 | 5 | FABULOUS NOVEMBER (N342) | O Doleuze | B- | Went forward from a wide alley, trapped 3 wide without cover, up challenging most of way and did work to bend, took over at 400m, defied rivals until 100m, decent effort given workload. |
3 | 8 | PRINCIPAL (P108) | J Moreira | -- | Even break, settled in midfield 1 out 4ls back, same margin back to turn, came through field nicely final 300m to take 3rd. |
4 | 3 | BERLINSKI (P014) | D Whyte | -- | Fair beginning, took a spot 3-4ls back on rails in midfield, easy run to turn, in traffic at 300m and took narrow gaps along rails to come through and challenge, just missed a place. |
5 | 9 | BIG FOUR (P102) | T Angland | H/TT- | Settled behind midfield 5-6ls back in running line, well back to bend, switched out and closed soundly making good ground to be nearest on line. |
6 | 1 | WINNIE'S HORSE (P169) | C Y Lui | TT | Out in line, unable to take up prominent role as usual, raced 3 wide with cover in midfield 4ls back, switched wider too challenge turning in, made steady progress to be not far from place getters. |
7 | 11 | POLYMER WIN (M399) | N Callan | -- | Landed in an ideal spot 1out 1 back just behind pace, ok run to bend, looked a place chance at 400m but didn't go on final 200m and dropped off. |
8 | 7 | MAC ROW (N252) | C O'Donoghue | H/XB | Wide from outset from a tricky draw, raced just off midfield 5ls or so back, 4 wide on circle, came to middle turning but didn't close off with much purpose battling to line. |
9 | 12 | SUPREME FLIGHT (M199) | U Rispoli | TT | Took a prominent spot on leaders back, ideal run to turn, ridden along at 400m in a little traffic but didn't close off as normal and unable to factor at all final 300m. |
10 | 10 | JOLLY GOOD STAR (S003) | M Chadwick | TT | Began with line, caught 4 wide from a tricky gate, did plenty of work without cover, workload began to take tool soon after straightening, dropped out in straight. |
11 | 2 | SUMARAND DRAGON (P441) | G Mosse | B/H | Dropped back to rear, best part of 6ls or so back, at rear throughout, made no real headway in straight and just battled away. |
12 | 14 | BORN TO WIN (N386) | C K Tong | H/TT | Showed early pace to race, raced outside leader, up challenging throughout, soon came under pressure turning, folded tamely. |
13 | 13 | SPOKE TO CARLO (P090) | T H So | B/TT | Ended up 3 wide at rear after a slow jump, had cover 5ls or more back, under pressure rounding bend, showed nothing in straight. |
14 | 6 | NINTH GALAXY (N380) | M L Yeung | -- | Had enough early speed to hold the lead, fair run in front but did have pressure from outside horse, headed turning, tiring when bumped at 300m, dropped right away. |
