1 6 MEMBERS GLORY (CB325) G Schofield B 6Ls off pace when 2-wide in 6th at 1400 M, headway to be 4-wide but 1L down in 3rd off home turn, bumped at 150 M when making more ground, stayed on well to lead final strides.
2 1 MILLION SUCCESS (CE158) B Prebble B-/V1 Best away, 2-wide and 2Ls down in 3rd at 1400 M, 1L back in 2nd at 800 M and disputing the lead into homestretch, dug in well to lead at 150 M but headed final strides.
3 13 FORTUNE GOLD (CD343) D Whyte -- 4Ls off pace when 2-wide in 4th at 1400 M, 3Ls back in 4th at 800 M, disputed lead on straightening and a neck in front at 300 M, headed 150 M out and wandered under pressure, no extra late.
4 12 DANSOLDE (CE157) M Rodd B One from rear about 11Ls behind at 1400 M, closer 6Ls from the lead but 6-wide (widest of all) towards rear entering home straight, made some good late ground, nearest at finish.
5 14 BAUHINIA (CD118) S Dye B 3-back on fencd about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed in 5th place until the 600 M, 2Ls down in 5th off final bend, one-paced from then on.
6 4 POSA (CE337) C Brown SR On fence in 9th about 8Ls off speed at 1400 M, improved on circle to be about 4Ls back in mid-division at the 400 M, no further acceleration and always well held.
7 7 CLASSIC KING (CD256) R Fradd B/TT In 8th place about 7Ls behind lead at 1400 M, under pressure at 800 M to take closer order and moved to 3Ls back in mid pack taking final bend, could only plug on at the one pace.
8 8 MAXIMUS (CD255) Y T Cheng B1 7Ls down on fence in 7th at 1400 M, improved to be 3Ls down in mid-division off home turn, disappointed for running at 200 M but much too one-paced and never likely to land a blow.
9 10 RISING WIN (CC089) E Saint-Martin V Held an early lead but headed 1600 M out and settled 2Ls back in 2nd at 1400 M, 2Ls down in 3rd on fence at 800 M and same off home turn when under pressure, very one-paced.
10 5 SEA TREASURE (CD335) F Coetzee CP/TT Never travelled well, worse than midfield when 8ls back at 1400 M, ridden along at 1000 M to get closer, all out when 5Ls behind in 10th at final bend, no impression.
11 2 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) W M Lai SR Pressed on to lead by 2Ls on fence at 1400 M, headed at top of home straight, soon swamped.
12 3 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) A Delpech V 10Ls last at 1600 M, never got much closer.
13 11 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) D Dunn B On fence 10Ls off speed in 12th at 1200 M, hard ridden to be 5Ls down in 12th at final bend, soon retreated further back.
14 9 X-SPEED (CC341) M W Leung -- Checked at 1800 M, one from rear about 10Ls behind at 1400 M, never a factor.
