1 8 ALL GREAT FRIENDS (S279) G Mosse -- Chased leaders in 3rd, travelled strongly throughout, allowed to stride on passing 300M, led 150M out and surged clear to win with ease.
2 4 GENTILIS (S011) J Moreira H/TT From draw 10 worked his way to the front, slowed down tempo middle stages, kept on inside 350M, headed by fast finishing winner 150M, faded final stages but held on for 2nd.
3 10 GRIMMY (P079) W M Lai -- 4-5Ls off the pace in mid-division, stayed on creditably under pressure although no match for the winner.
4 12 KIROV (S277) K Teetan -- Shifted across from wide barrier early stages, patiently ridden 8Ls off the pace, responded well 300M and made good late progress, just missed out on a minor placing.
5 11 PEACE ON EARTH (S254) H W Lai -- Restrained in a rearward position, well off the pace early stages, nudged along 450M, steadily made progress over final 300M but never a serious threat to leaders.
6 2 GERONIMO MEADOW (N226) C K Tong B-/TT Raced in midfield on settling down, 5Ls off leader 400M, kept to inside throughout but never going the pace to challenge.
7 7 LONDON WALK (P410) M Demuro TT Dropped back, outpaced and over 10Ls off the pace early stages, taken widest to challenge, stayed on mildly, shifted in final stages under pressure.
8 1 LOVELY BOY (N322) C Y Ho TT Up with early pace, sat back in 4th passing 700M, driven along 450M but didn't find a great deal for pressure, one pace over final 300M.
9 6 APOLLO CAVALIER (N262) B Prebble H Quickly into stride, tracked leader, lacked further response 300M, no extra final 100M and was swamped.
10 9 YOUNG RANGER (S435) C Y Lui CP1 Settled at the back of the field over 10Ls off the pace early stages, gave limited response when driven at top of the straight, never a factor.
11 3 ALL WIN BOY (P171) K C Leung H/TT Caught 3-wide in a position worse than midfield, had no cover from 700M, unbalanced 200M when bumped, not pace to challenge, eased towards the line.
12 5 KERKENI (T053) D Whyte SR1 Began awkwardly, travelled behind midfield, came under serious pressure 500M out, soon beaten.
