1 6 BRILLIANT WAY (G215) A Badel H/P/TT Always prominent, moved up to track leader entering home turn, quickened to take lead 150M, held on well from runner up late stages.
2 1 BUZZINGA (G240) K Teetan TT Chased leaders early stages before dropping back to a midfield position entering home turn, responded well under top weight from 350M, did best work late, just held.
3 11 KAI XIN DRAGON (E174) M F Poon TT Soon in front, had uncontested lead and setting good pace middle stages, continued on well turning home, headed near 150M, held on for 3rd late.
4 4 SAKEWIN (G275) J Moreira -- Up with early pace before settling in 3rd about 3Ls off leader, driven and stayed on steadily over final 400M, not going the pace to challenge first 2.
5 3 PACKING TREADMILL (G161) Z Purton SR From widest draw eased to race at the rear, no closer than 3 wide throughout, had plenty to do turning in, ran home fastest. (Jockey stated that due to wide draw the horse was ridden more quietly.)
6 5 GLUCK RACER (E157) M Chadwick V Dropped back to race near the rear, 8Ls to make up turning for home, stayed on without reaching leaders.
7 8 JAZZ ANGEL (G049) L Currie -- From wide draw eased back to race at the back of the field, gave limited response on straightening, never reach contention.
8 2 LUCKY FUN (E013) C L Chau TT- Held up towards the rear, pushed along 450M but not quickened, never a threat to leaders.
9 9 MAGIC SUPREME (D144) R Maia B/TT Restrained to race behind midfield 5-6Ls behind leader, couldn't muster the speed to challenge passing 400M. Never involved.
10 10 WILD WEST WING (C381) V Borges -- Settled down behind mid-division, caught wide no cover from 800M, couldn't pick up speed in the straight, never able to challenge.
11 7 MAJESTIC KNIGHT (G258) L Hewitson B Began fairly, soon ridden along to sit in midfield, raced keenly from 1000M, found disappointingly little turning home, eased mid-straight. (Irregular Heart Rhythm.)
