1 10 CALIFORNIA DEEPLY (G451) M Chadwick TT Broke with the field and had no early speed, settled at rear, showed a strong turn of foot in the straight and won.
2 11 PRETTY QUEEN PRAWN (E389) V Borges H/SR/TT Broke nicely and sat just behind the speed, hit the front at 150M and kept on well, just got caught in the final stride.
3 3 HEROIC MASTER (G394) H Bentley TT Broke with the field, settled worse than midfield 3 wide and was kept wide throughout, stayed on okay in the straight.
4 2 SPECIAL M (E271) H Bowman PC/TT Settled midfield 3 wide, travelled nicely coming into the straight, but only one pace when asked.
5 7 DINKUM (G409) C L Chau -- Settled midfield on the rail, kept improving on the rail throughout, made decent progress.
6 12 SUPER COMMANDER (D350) L Ferraris V/TT Broke well and disputed the lead, kept on okay until 200M, weakened afterwards.
7 9 SUPER AXIOM (E105) H N Wong H/P/TT Broke smartly and led the race on the rail, weakened near 200M.
8 4 CRYSTAL POWERFUL (H068) C Y Ho -- Settled at the rear, passed only weakened rivals in the straight.
9 1 ATOMIC FORCE (G221) Y L Chung TT Broke last, ridden to be prominent, rounded the turn awkwardly, offered nothing in the straight.
10 8 SUMMIT CHEERS (E221) L Hewitson TT Settled in front of midfield 2 wide between horses, never a factor.
11 5 MAGIC PHOENIX (E440) K C Leung B/TT Settled midfield 2 wide, raced keenly, faded in the straight.
12 6 TEAM SPIRIT (B230) M L Yeung B-/CP1/TT Steadied after the start, detached from the field, never in contention. (Performance unacceptable, must trial)
