2 5 VITAL PATROL (CC335) M Rodd -- 6Ls off pace in midfield when 2-wide at 800 M, 4Ls down in 5th entering stretch, just over 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, kept reducing the gap, only just failed.
3 4 CLEAN SWEEP (CD323) D Whyte -- 3-wide with cover when about 7Ls off pace in 9th or so at 1000 M, 4-wide on straightening when 4Ls down in midfield, just over 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, one-paced close home.
4 8 NATIVE LANGUAGE (CB116) O Doleuze V1 Worse than midfield when 2-wide and about 8Ls off pace at 1000 M, 5Ls down taking home turn, 3Ls down in 6th at 200 M, kept on, never nearer.
5 3 JOYFUL WORLD (CC200) C Brown B Best away and led 1200 M, headed at 1000 M to race 2Ls off pace in 3rd, 2Ls down in 2nd entering homestretch, one-paced on the run-in.
6 2 MR GENKI (CD184) F Coetzee CP/TT Prominent early, pressed on to lead on fence by 2Ls on fence from 900 M to home turn, headed at 250 M out, faded and quite weak through final 100 M.
7 10 QI'S PET (CD321) S Dye -- Slowly away, drifted onto fence (4-back) about 7Ls off pace towards rear at 900 M, marginally closer entering straight, moderate late headway.
8 11 AURELIAN (CC025) E Saint-Martin B Slowly away, 9Ls last at 1000 M, 4-wide with cover at 800 M, 4-wide on straightening when 6Ls off speed, posed very little late threat.
9 9 A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) Y T Cheng SR Never better than midfield or closer than 7Ls to the speed from 1000 M.
10 12 DANEPRINT (CC221) W M Lai B Awkwardly away, always in rear bunch and never a factor.

12 13 TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) K S Yu B Blundered at start when crowded and unbalanced, 4-wide no cover in midfield when 5Ls off pace at 800 M, 4-wide into home straight, failed to quicken up.
13 1 GANBARIA (CE052) G Schofield SR 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in 2nd at 800 M, struggling to hold this prominent position at 500 M, faded out rapidly in home straight.
