1 6 PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) G Mosse P- Not hurried in early stages and settled in last few, had a lot to do on straightening but stormed through between horses to lead inside 50 M and eventually won this with something to spare.
2 7 NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) M Chadwick B/TT Began well from the inside barrier, disputed for lead down the back straight and set a strong pace in middle section, continued with a sustained effort in straight but was firmly put aside by the winner final 50 M.
3 9 ISLAND SUPER (CH297) W M Lai TT Behind midfield in 9th position, had over 5Ls to make up turning into straight, picked up well and finished with a flourish.
4 11 CARS KING PRAWN (CK348) W Pike V Along the fence in the group chasing leaders, best placed to strike coming off the bend, kept on well to the line despite running 4lb out of the handicap.
5 4 VITAL FLYER (CK373) D Whyte TT1 Caught wide behind the lead until passing 700 M, had every chance in straight but lacked pace to seriously challenge.
6 2 SUNNY GOLF (CH138) D Beadman XB/TT Quickly into stride, raced outside the lead to final 200 M then gradually weakened.
7 10 MI REILLY (CJ199) J Lloyd -- Obtained the rail soon after the start and settled 5Ls back in midfield, momentarily steadied near 150 M then stayed on without threat to the leaders.
8 8 TIGER PRAWN (CG279) G Cheyne TT In chasing group behind leaders, kept on same pace throughout and never looked dangerous.
9 12 GOOD STRIKE (CJ351) M L Yeung -- Towards the rear 7Ls off the pace, switched to outside entering home straight but ran on only fairly.
10 5 DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) B Prebble -- Restrained to the rear early then improved to a midfield position down the back straight, found very little coming off the bend and faded.
11 1 DYNAMIC BLITZ (CJ339) T H So XB Had to be rushed along after a sluggish start, not able to overcome a wide barrier and caught wide throughout, struggled from 400 M and soon out of contention.
12 3 MY HOME TOWN (CH331) J Victoire TT1 Fractious in stalls and lost many lengths at the start, always at the back and never in contention.
