1 8 ABLE TOO (CJ159) Z Purton -- Covered up 2-wide and 4Ls back in midfield at halfway, enjoyed a nice run until bursting clear over 200 M out, led 50 M out and did just enough.
2 1 ENTHUSED (CH303) F Coetzee -- Disputed early pace out 2-wide, about 2Ls back from 800 M to home turn, led 150 M out but headed again 50 M out, no answer to winner's late kick.
3 13 SECRET OF KINGS (CG102) C K Tong B/TT 5Ls back in 9th on fence at 800 M, travelled strongly turning for home when without room, ran on well once clear for a place.
4 10 WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) O Doleuze -- 5Ls back in 8th out 2-wide during the middle stages, 2Ls back in 5th with place prospects at the furlong pole, couldn't follow through.
5 3 WHATABOB (CD213) E Saint-Martin B/TT Box-seated in 3rd or 4th on fence about 2Ls from the speed until home turn, 1L down when checked on fence at 200 M, didn't recover in time.
6 4 ROYAL PERICLES (CH050) W M Lai B/XB Disputed early pace on fence, over-raced a little at halfway and 2Ls clear turning for home, headed at the 200 M and one-paced close home.
7 11 FIRST AMONG EQUALS (CC327) Y T Cheng B 8Ls last early on, still in rear when 6Ls back off last turn, finished off pretty well to be nearest at the finish.
8 7 MASTER POWER (CG318) M Nunes B Went back from wide gate, 8Ls last at halfway and much the same on straightening, ran on well down centre of the track, never nearer.
9 9 VISIONARIO (CJ095) G Mosse H In 10th about 6Ls off speed at the 600 M, made some decent late headway without ever posing much of a threat.
10 6 O'REILLY RALLY (CH266) K L Chui TT 3-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls back in 5th at the 800 M and a little closer turning for home, faded after extra work told in the final 300 M.
11 5 GALLANT CHAMPION (CJ002) B Prebble -- 7Ls back in 11th at halfway, still well back when widest (4-wide) turning for home, always comfortably held.
12 14 CHEERFUL MASTER (CE309) H W Lai B/TT 3-back on fence when 4Ls off speed at the 600 M, never looked like playing a significant role.
13 12 SICHUAN HERO (CJ044) G Boss B Slowest away by about 2Ls, worse than midfield on fence about 6Ls back at halfway, remained a fair way from the pace.
14 2 INDUSTRIAL MARVEL (CG188) M Du Plessis -- Disputed early pace out 3-wide no cover and between 1L and 2Ls back in 2nd until home straight, swamped by the 200 M.
