1 | 8 | GOLD MOUNT (A112) | G Mosse | TT1 | Crowded on jumping, settling worse than midfield, on the fence. Off heels 250m when progressing well in the straight. On the rails with a clear run last 200. Too strong to the line under the stick. |
2 | 1 | INVINCIBLE DRAGON (V166) | J Moreira | H | Best away, but elected to drop back to sit midfield, 3 wide with cover. Widest in the straight, and ran solidly to chase down front runners and share 2nd. |
2 | 13 | BABA MAMA (V214) | K Teetan | H/TT | Pushed forward early to be handily placed 2nd/3rd, on the rail. Battled on gamely in the straight, kicking again slightly late to share a piece of 2nd. |
4 | 4 | LUCKY GIRL (T355) | N Rawiller | TT- | Pushed forward early to be clear early leader by 3L.Still in front at 150m, but faded out from that point and battled to the line late. |
5 | 6 | CALIFORNIA DISEGNO (V170) | D Whyte | CP/TT | OK away, and eased slightly early to settle forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Slightly tight in the straight, and off heels when fading at 100m. OK late, but never threatened a place. |
6 | 3 | SANTA FE SUN (P210) | U Rispoli | B/TT | Bumped and then crowed on jumping, before settling at the rear of the field. Ran solidly in the straight without threatening. |
7 | 2 | BERLINI (P359) | Z Purton | H | OK away, and moved to midfield. Awkward on heels when keen at 1400m, losing ground and dropping back to worse than midfield. Plugged on OK in the straight, picking up a few slower ones. |
8 | 5 | SOLAR HEI HEI (T242) | B Prebble | -- | Settled forward of midfield, 3 wide with no cover. No kick in the straight, and went to the line 1 paced. |
9 | 12 | ULTIMATE GLORY (S235) | H W Lai | -- | Taken up early to be handily placed 2nd/3rd, 3L off the leader and 1 off the fence. Peaked 250m, and dropped out of the race from there. |
