1 2 SEA JADE (V307) Z Purton -- Jumped straight to the front and led to 800m when momentarily headed. Retook lead a few strides later, kicked ahead passing 300m, extending lead with every stride for effortless win.
2 11 HASTA LA VISTA (T350) D Whyte B/H/TT Began well and quickly in box seat, 2L from leader. Stayed on fence around turn and chased leader in straight without being able to close the gap.
3 3 JUMBO HAPPINESS (V315) C Y Ho -- Bumped and hampered start, dropping back, then crowded for room 1000m, dropping to rear. Switched out on straightening and finished off nicely for minor placing.
4 8 GRACEFUL KINGDOM (P145) O Murphy V Jumped with field, pressed forward, settling in midfield along rail. Took closer order around turn but only one-paced in straight.
5 9 DARING FIT (V398) N Callan B1/TT Began awkwardly then bumped and unbalanced losing ground. Pushed forward 3-wide to sit outside leader, then led for a few strides passing 800m. One-paced final 300m and checked off heels 50m.
6 12 SPARKLING TALENT (T346) H W Lai TT Broke well, ridden to hold forward position, settling one-back, one-off. Shaken up top of straight but only one-paced.

8 4 MR PICASSO (T330) B Prebble PC-/H2 Jumped OK, ridden along, settling one-off in midfield, 4L from leader. Three wide into straight but only one-paced under hard riding.
9 7 NOTED PERFORMER (V365) S De Sousa -- Began fairly, no pace, dropping towards rear in one-off position. Taken to centre track on straightening but failed to make ground.
10 5 MASSIVE MILLENNIUM (T381) K Teetan H/TT Bounded into the air on jumping and slow into stride, dropping to rear. Over-raced passing 1000m before taking closer order around turn. Spent force passing 200m and faded.
11 1 GREAT SKY (N426) T H So -- No early toe, dropping to last along fence. Trailed field to straight and never competitive.
12 10 DAZZLE (V228) S Clipperton B Broke well, pressed forward three-wide to settle 3L from leader. Under pressure from turn and gave ground quickly in straight, finishing tailed out. Unacceptable performance.
