1 1 WISE CHOICE (CB297) R Fradd -- Lay 7th on fence 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, niggled slightly at 800 M, 2-wide into straight, picked up well to be 2Ls off pace disputing 4th 200 M out, kept on gamely for hard driving, led on line.
2 14 DEEP PURPLE (CB251) A Delpech B Broke tardily, in 11th place 2-wide and 7Ls off pace 1000 M out, 3-wide into straight when 5Ls off lead, 2Ls down and disputing 4th at the 200 M, led 50 M out, collared right on the line.
3 6 TAMAR (CA310) W Woods B In midfield 6Ls off pace and 2-wide at 1000 M, closer in 5th and 3-wide on straightening, half a length down in 2nd with very strong chance at 200 M, headed 50 M out, just hung on for a place.
4 5 EARL GREY (CA251) D Whyte B/SR1 In 12th spot at 1000 M when 7Ls off speed and 3-wide, had cover when 6Ls down and 4-wide into straight, challenged out wider, 2Ls down at 200 M, narrowly missed a place.
5 7 GRAND FIGHTER (CA225) W Smith B Narrow lead out 2-wide at 1400 M, got to fence at 800 M to lead by 1L, clear by 2Ls off home turn, headed 50 M out, no extra, solid effort nonetheless.
6 10 SUCCESSFUL SPIRIT (BV226) G Mosse B/TT On fence 3Ls off pace in 4th or 5th down back straight, lacked gears off home turn, kept on fairly well again close home to be nearest at the finish.
7 2 DESERT STORM (CA048) P H Lo TT One from rear on fence 9Ls off pace at 1000 M, 2-wide into stretch when 8Ls down, made some moderate late headway.
8 3 FORTUNE DANCER (BS081) W M Lai V- In rear 2-wide and 9Ls off pace at 1000 M, still rear and 3-wide into straight when 8Ls off pace, never a factor.
9 9 DANEFACTOR (CA006) W C Marwing -- 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 3rd 1000 M out, 1L down in 2nd at 800 M, 2Ls down in 2nd off home turn, swamped 200 M out, eased close home.
10 11 TURBOJET (BT277) G Schofield TT 3-wide without cover and 3Ls off speed 1100 M out in 5th place, 2Ls 4th at 800 M, 3Ls 3rd off home turn, beaten over 200 M out.
11 8 STRATEGIC SELECT (CB133) A Marcus B 2-wide and 5Ls off lead in 6th at 1000 M, closer but under pressure to keep in touch off home turn, dropped out from 250 M out.
12 13 SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) S Dye B-/TT- Slowly away, on fence 7Ls in 10th position at 1000 M, no better off and struggling into straight, very one-paced.
13 12 MAIN ATTRACTION (CB218) Y T Cheng B Awkwardly away, 3-wide without cover when 6Ls off pace in 9th at 1000 M, toiling when caught 4-wide without cover into home straight, found nothing under pressure.
14 4 CHEERS CHINA (CC157) J Quinn B Disputed lead very early on, 2Ls off pace in 3rd when on fence at 800 M, in trouble entering straight, emptied right out and was tailing off at the 200 M pole.
