1 3 CELESTIAL SMILE (S013) Z Purton B Not pushed early and sat forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Had clear running from the top of the straight. Took on leader at 150m, and had enough in the tank to hold out a fast finishing 2nd.
2 4 HERO LOOK (V053) D Whyte XB1/TT1 Cruised forward from the wide draw to sit midfield, 1 off the fence. Came wider on the turn, and ran on solidly. Kicked late and was closing the margin on the winner, with the fastest final sectional.
3 1 THEWIZARDOFOZ (T251) K Teetan B Pushed forward early to sit just behind the early leader, 1 off the fence. Lead at the 400m, but challenged at 150m and lost his position in the first 2 late.
4 11 SPICY SURE (T234) G Mosse TT Pushed forward early to be handily placed 5th. Over raced onto heels at 700m. Got a clear run from 400m, and ran on well from there. Unable to kick with first 3 late.
5 8 ISHVARA (S015) K C Leung B/TT Began well, but not used up early, sitting midfield on the fence. Had to go searching for a run at the top of the straight. Ran on OK, and kicked well over the last 100m.

7 2 PIKACHU (S298) R Fourie B Slow away and dropped back to sit at the rear of the field, on the fence. Pushed on OK from the top of the straight, and lost some momentum when steadied off heels 200m. Ran on OK late.
8 7 WAH MAY FRIEND (T309) M L Yeung TT Drifted in from the outside draw to eventually sit at the rear of the field, 1 off the fence. Came wide on the turn, and plugged on OK in the latter stages.
9 12 KINGSFIELD (T403) B Prebble H-/B Pushed forward from the wide draw to be the early leader. Held on until the 300m, before peaking on his run and dropping out quickly from the 250m.
