1 1 STRATEGUS (CC050) F Coetzee -- Soon led but was 3-wide until finally crossing to fence about 900 M out, narrow lead off home turn, picked up to be 1L to the good 200 M out, kept on well.
2 4 AURELIAN (CC025) D Whyte -- Raced 2-wide 5Ls off the speed 1000 M out, 3-wide and 3Ls off the lead at the home turn, 1L behind 200 M out, stayed on well enough but found winner much too good.
3 2 GLOBAL FORTUNE (CB422) E Saint-Martin -- Caught 3 and 4-wide without cover about 4Ls off the pace down the back straight, 5-wide and 1L off the pace entering home straight, every chance 200 M out, one-paced close home.
4 11 TELECOM BABE (CA187) M W Leung V Held up in rear early on, 8Ls off the pace 900 M out, 3-wide and 4Ls behind leader on the swing, ran on past several beaten rivals through closing stages.
5 13 ON SHAN EXPRESS (CB362) D Dunn BO 3-wide and about 2Ls off the speed at the 900 M mark, raced freely 800 M out and was allowed to dispute lead out 2-wide from 600 M out to top of home straight, faded steadily.
6 3 LUCKY KING (CA304) G Schofield -- On fence 4Ls off the pace at the 1000 M, 2-wide and 3Ls down entering home straight, 1L down and with good place prospects 200 M out, couldn't sustain effort.
7 5 FAST TRACK (CB375) A Marcus P 2-wide and 4Ls off the pace 1200 M out, 4-wide into home straight when vying for lead, all out to be 1L down 200 M out, faded further.
8 9 OLIVE OR TWIST (CB271) B Prebble B 3-wide and 6Ls off the speed from 1200 M out to the 600 M, 4-wide and 4Ls down entering straight, never threatened.
9 14 ABLE EAGLE (CB443) M Walker -- Keen early on, 2-wide and 5Ls off the speed 800 M out, 2Ls down and 6-wide into homestretch, still 2Ls down 200 M out, weakened.
10 12 COSMO STAR (CA260) H K Yim TT Raced close-up 2-wide and under 2Ls off the pace until home straight, began to weaken about 300 M out, eased down close home.

13 7 BURST TO VICTORY (CC126) C Williams SR Caught 3-wide towards rear about 7Ls off the speed 800 M out, driven along 600 M out, 6-wide into home straight when 5Ls down, soon with no chance.
14 10 WORK HARD (CC080) S K Sit -- Always in rear, 2-wide and 7Ls off the pace at the 800 M, detached from main body of field and under pressure entering straight, never a factor.
