1 11 BIG WINNER (CD229) M Nunes B/TT Held the one-out-one-back position about 2Ls off pace and 2-wide in 4th from 1600 M to the 600 M, 3-wide off final bend and led at the 200 M, driven clear.
2 5 FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) E Saint-Martin -- One from rear about 9Ls back at 1400 M, 8Ls last at the 900 M, headway on the circle to be over 4Ls back off home turn, stayed on fairly well for 2nd but never looked the winner.
3 6 ABLE KNIGHT (CE079) D Whyte H/TT Tended to over-race in 9th about 6Ls off pace in rear at 1400 M, 5-wide and over 4Ls back at final turn, stayed on for pressure and only just missed quinella.
4 7 HAPPY FIT (CH084) B Prebble XB/TT Led by 1L on fence very early on, led until home turn when a neck clear, headed about 200 M out and just about hung on for 4th place.
5 1 CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) A Delpech B Midfield and 2-wide with cover about 4Ls off pace through to home straight, over 2Ls back and with solid place hopes at the 200 M, lacked the follow-through.
6 4 CHINSOLA (CD328) K L Chui B Caught 3-wide without cover when 4Ls back in 7th at 1600 M, pressed on to go a neck 2nd at the 800 M and stayed there until the home turn, faded inside final 200 M.
7 12 FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) W M Lai B 3-back on fence about 4Ls back in 5th at 1600 M, checked at the 800 M and under pressure when 3Ls back in midfield off final bend, stayed on at same pace.
8 2 ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) C K Tong B 2-wide a neck off pace in 2nd at 1600 M, box-seat position on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1200 M to home turn, had every chance to at least place, just too slow.
9 8 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) D Nikolic B/H/TT On fence 5Ls back in 8th at 1400 M, hung out once hindered at the 800 M when 6Ls behind, always one-paced and chasing others in the homestretch.
10 3 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) G Mosse B Worse than midfield about 6Ls off pace at 1400 M, advanced to 3Ls down in 5th from 800 M to home turn, very one-paced in the finish.
11 13 SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) H W Lai B About 9Ls behind in rear before being left without cover at 1000 M, sent on out wide to go 4Ls back in midfield at the 800 M, lost position on the circle and faded out.
PU 10 SUNRISE RAINBOW (CD209) C W Wong SR Nicely placed in the box-seat at 1600 M, slightly less prominent when breaking down about 900 M out, pulled up.
