1 1 SAME WORLD (N098) K C Ng H/SR Tracked leaders in a slowly run race, responded well turning home and established narrow lead 150M out, rallied on to maintain that advantage to the line.
2 11 JOLLY FINE (M294) C Y Lui B Had a ground saving trip along the inside, in 5th place always within striking distance, ran on well up the fence to join leaders near 100M, just held.
3 8 REGENCY KING (N040) M Chadwick H/TT Settled near the rear in the first half, made an early move passing 800M to join leader, kept on well under maximum pressure, just held by first 2 final 100M.
4 5 WINNING LEADER (N268) Z Purton H Close up in 4th for the first 800M, came to have every chance turning in, kept on but always held by first three.
5 10 FLYING UNICORN (M087) R Fourie V Urged forward from draw 1, led slowly first 800M, pressed by rival 600M, outpaced nearing 200M, checked 75M, lost ground and faded to 5th.
6 4 MR MEDICI (CK218) J Moreira -- Held up mid-division along the fence, shifted out 450M, didn't pick up sufficiently and was never a serious danger.
7 9 VITAL GOLD (N398) W C Marwing B Held up 2-wide in mid-division, brought wide nearing 400M, found less than expected, no impression on leaders.
8 6 GREEN EAGLE (N052) C Y Ho B Prominently ridden, tracked leader 2-wide to home turn, struggled to hold his position 450M, soon out of contention.
9 3 CHATER WAY (CL093) T Berry SR Taken back from wide barrier and raced towards the rear 8Ls off the pace, bid wide from 600M and didn't pick up well enough, never threatened.
10 7 DR GOOD HABIT (N300) D Whyte P Had cover behind midfield but proved difficult to settle, shifted out 800M and strode closer to leaders, had little left turning home, ran well below par.
11 2 LITTLE DREAMS (CL095) T Angland -- Settled behind midfield early stages, shuffled back to near the rear making the home turn, kept on same pace and could never get involved.
12 12 DISTILL (N270) H W Lai -- Reserved at the rear, had 6Ls to make up turning for home, brought widest into straight but didn't respond to riding.
