1 8 ELECTRONICS SPUR (CE285) F Coetzee TT Prominent in 4th or 5th about 2Ls off speed but 3-wide no cover for much of backstretch and same entering homestretch, half a length down in 3rd at 200 M, stayed on well to lead final strides.
2 13 MASTER SPIRIT (CE067) S Dye -- Tended to over-race a little when 1L off pace in 3rd at 1000 M, same margin taking home turn before leading at 200 M, battled on well despite being headed inside final strides.
3 10 FORTUNE PRINCESS (CE122) C Munce B-/TT- 2-wide and 3Ls down in 5th at 1000 M, closer entering straight and held up from 400 M to 200 M, ran on well once clear, unlucky.
4 6 SPARKLING STAR (CD055) E Saint-Martin CP-/B2 Awkwardly away losing ground, always 4-wide no cover at least 5Ls off pace towards rear until the 600 M, 6-wide (widest of all) on straightening when 3Ls down, stayed on very well despite tough trip.
5 5 MULTI MILLIONS (CD207) D Whyte B-/SR1 2-wide and 4Ls off pace in midfield until the 800 M, a little closer on straightening and 2Ls down in chasing pack at 200 M, failed to follow through and tended to carry head awkwardly.
6 2 NORTHERN ROSE (CC268) O Doleuze SR 3-wide with cover and worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, hung out at 700 M, 5-wide straightening for home when 4Ls behind in 10th, held by principals when steadied at 100 M.
7 1 BYRON (CD275) G Schofield -- One from rear about 6Ls off speed at 1000 M, 3-wide and 5Ls down in 12th on straightening, always outpaced.
8 14 SHINING DRAGON (CC181) M Rodd -- 2-wide and a neck off pace in 2nd at 1000 M, same margin behind through to final bend, brief lead at 300 M before being headed at 200 M, faded thereafter.
9 7 CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) B Prebble H Awkwardly away, 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace at 1000 M, closer at top of home straight and crowded at 300 M, never troubled principals.
10 11 GREEN WARRIOR (CD385) Y T Cheng CP/TT- Keen early on, led by 1L at 1000 M, disputed lead from 800 M to home straight entrance, about to be swamped when checked at 150 M.
11 9 ASSET PLAY (CC147) P H Lo CP Had the box seat run on fence 2Ls off pace until home turn, swamped at 200 M and eased close home.
12 4 EVERGREEN (CE106) R Fradd B/TT 3-wide with cover when 4Ls or 5Ls behind in midfield at 800 M, 4-wide on straightening when 3Ls behind, didn't quicken and eased inside final 200 M.
13 12 LUCKY DICE (CB101) S K Sit B Always detached and under pressure in rear, never a factor.
14 3 PERFETTO (CB423) G Mosse B Slowly away, never travelled well about 6Ls off pace towards rear, well beaten when eased down 200 M out.
