1 2 MIRACULOUS (CE115) F Coetzee -- Made all, led on fence by 1L at 1200 M and held a similar break turning for home, stayed on well for pressure to prevail.
2 1 QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) B Prebble -- About 9Ls back in 7th with cover at 1200 M, 6Ls down in 8th making final bend, ran on strongly but the line came a fraction too soon.
3 4 CHINOOK (CC108) A Delpech B slowly away, 5Ls back in 7th out 2-wide at 1200 M, same margin back in midfield taking home bend, stayed on well to take 3rd inside final 50 M.
4 5 SUPER CHARGE (CC299) G Mosse B Had a lovely trail about 2Ls off pace on fence in 2nd or 3rd until home turn, should have at least placed but too weak inside final 50 M.
5 7 SIXTY SECONDS (CB177) H W Lai -- 4-back on fence about 6Ls off speed in 8th or so from 1000 M to home turn, stayed on fairly to be nearest at the finish.
6 12 SILVER WRAITH (CE178) S K Sit B 3-back on the fence about 3Ls or 4Ls back in 4th through to home turn, lad his chance to place but lacked the dash.
7 8 SEVENS HEAVEN (CE175) D Nikolic B/TT Fractious in gates and lost ground at start, always in rear bunch about 7Ls behind leader until home turn, made some minor late ground.
8 9 FAST TRACK (CB375) C K Tong -- Shared last place about 8Ls off the speed, on his own in rear at 600 M, made only a scant late impression.
9 6 TRIUMPH (CC214) Y T Cheng V 3Ls back in 4th out 2-wide at 1200 M, still close enough at home turn but very one-paced in the stretch.
10 11 MOONGLOW (CG008) C W Wong B/XB/TT Caught 3 wide without cover throughout, 4Ls back in midfield at halfway, lost position in the circle and faded right out in home straight.
11 10 SIR OCTAVIUS (CB427) M Nunes P-/V2 3-wide with cover but 5Ls back in 8th at 1000 M, never any better than midfield and very weak in home straight.
12 3 SOHNA (CG183) D Whyte PC-/B2 2-wide and 1L off speed in 2nd at 1200 M, always tended to hang out, under pressure to lie up at the 500 M, very weak finish, unacceptable effort. (Mucus.)
