1 11 SUCCESSFUL ERA (CK276) D Whyte -- Placed in midfield 3Ls off leaders, made a crucial move away from the fence passing 400 M, progressed steadily to lead near 100 M and found the necessary to hold on.
2 3 HIGH RETURN (CK164) B Prebble B Taken back and racing towards the rear throughout, 6Ls behind leader passing 400 M and ran on strongly down the outside to finish within a neck of the winner.
3 7 ABSOLUTE HEDGE (CL032) J Lloyd TT Up with the early pace then restrained to a position in midfield, swung widest into the straight, picked up strongly final 300 M to finish nearest on the line.
4 2 DARPANA (CK256) M Chadwick B/TT Dropped back to a 2-wide position behind midfield, over 4Ls behind nearing the top of the straight, closed off the race well when clear inside 200 M. Narrowly beaten.
5 4 FORTUNE SPIRIT (CK102) K C Leung B Broke well from the advantageous inside draw, placed handily behind leaders and swiftly moved into a striking position off the bend, ran on well but couldn't match strides with the late finishers final 100 M.
6 10 COOL CAT (CH330) M L Yeung B Crossed to the fence soon after the start then vied for lead to straight, kicked 1L clear turning in, all out but was swamped inside 100 M.
7 12 MY MELODY (CJ157) W Pike B/XB/TT Never far off the pace, one off the fence in the chasing group behind leading pair, drifted to the inside 350 M out and finished off at the same pace only.
8 5 HIGH LUCK (CK134) W C Marwing XB1 Taken back from a wide barrier and settled in last 7Ls off the pace, niggled along from 500 M but took long while to muster, ran on final 200 M under maximum pressure.
9 8 ALL THE WINNERS (CL019) Y T Cheng V Went forward and attacked the lead on the outside, under serious pressure halfway round the home turn and weakened badly over the final 200 M.
10 1 ENERGIZED (CK135) S K Sit XB/H Ended up behind midpack after a slow start, saved ground on the inside 4 to 5Ls back, driven 350 M out but no progress. Never a factor.
11 6 TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) J Winks -- Caught wide in midfield throughout and raced without cover from 800 M, close enough turning in but found nothing off the bridle, eased.
12 9 PRINCE OF LUCK (CK206) O Doleuze -- Slow to begin, ended up in last few trailing 7Ls to leaders, failed to pick up at all when asked, eased near 200 M.
