1 6 ROYAL FLUSH (CK184) Z Purton V/TT Raced outside the lead before taking it up passing 900 M, travelled strongly throughout and kicked clear 300 M, was always in command despite the challenges late on.
2 3 APPRECIATION (CK161) J Lloyd V/TT First to jump but eased back to a position in midfield 6Ls off the pace, produced a strong run inside 300 M to get within one length of the winner.
3 1 ONE WEE ACORN (CK143) D Whyte -- Settled in 4th about 4Ls behind leader, went wide over the turn in search of better ground, picked up gradually inside 400 M under top weight and finished nearest on the line.
4 2 GRAND DRAGON (CK064) A Gryder -- Dropped back to the rear and given a waiting ride, 7Ls down going into final 400 M and despite making some headway had too much to do.
5 4 HAPPY REUNION (CK163) C K Tong B/TT Handily placed in 3rd 3Ls off the pace, hung in abruptly inside 400 M and was difficult to ride. Had his chance but unable to take ground off the leader.
6 9 FLYING SUPREME (CK226) K C Leung -- Towards the rear and appeared not travelling well, had almost 8Ls to make up on straightening, ran on fairly under hands and heels riding (Jockey dropped whip 350 M).
7 8 DASHING VICTORY (CK241) W Pike XB-/TT1 Began awkwardly and lost ground, crept closer and settled in mid-division, covered less ground than the rest by keeping close to the inside but failed to act on this soft going and offered very little in the finish.
8 5 CALIFORNIA MOON (CK097) B Prebble TT Ended up in a spot behind midfield after a poor start, didn't travel and was off the bridle from 800 M, taken wide to challenge in straight but didn't respond, ran well below par. (Mucus.)
9 10 LEADING CITY (CK298) M Du Plessis -- Broke well and cut out the early running till 900 M, had his chance but unable to keep on passing 300 M.
