1 4 THREE CLUBS (CG149) D Beadman -- 6Ls back and worse than midfield at 1000 M, looped field out 4-deep no cover from 800 M to home turn when just 1L down in 3rd, narrow lead 150 M out, all out.
2 7 GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) M Nunes V/TT Lovely run on fence 2Ls back in 3rd at 1200 M and led at top of home straight, grabbed by winner 150 M out, went down fighting.
3 6 JOY TRUMPS (CD242) B Prebble B/TT On fence about 5Ls back in 7th at halfway, closer in 5th turning for home, outpaced by quinella pair on the run-in but did enough to place.
4 10 TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) Z Purton -- Restrained about 7Ls behind early tempo, headway to midfield when 4-wide swinging for home, had his chance to place but was too one-paced.
5 2 JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) H W Lai -- 2-wide and 6Ls off early pace in 8th, 3Ls down in midfield on straightening, quite flat and one-paced in the finish.
6 14 DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) W M Lai -- 3-back on fence when 4Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, even better placed on straightening, lacked the acceleration to capitalize.
7 5 ARROGANCE (CA177) F Coetzee B 3-wide no cover when 1L down in 2nd at 1200 M, got in 2-wide at 1000 M in 2nd, still thereabouts at top of home turn but weakened before final 200 M.
8 11 KEY WINNER (CG157) O Doleuze TT Fractious in gates and lost ground at start, always towards rear on fence at least 4Ls or 5Ls from the speed, simply outpaced.
9 1 CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) G Boss -- 7Ls from the early pace in rear, about 5Ls back in 12th turning for home and never much of a threat.
10 13 SUPER BALL (CD064) S K Sit B-/TT- Caught 4-wide no cover on first bend, midfield about 4Ls back with cover for most of back straight, 4-wide into final stretch, faded out quickly.
11 9 LUCKY WORLD (CJ053) Y T Cheng TT Led on fence by 1L at 1300 M, headed at top of home straight and sank through the field, eased close home.
12 12 GOLD DIGGER (CD101) C K Tong CP Towards rear early on, caught 3-wide no cover from the 800 M to home turn when detached in rear, soon eased down.
13 8 EXPEDITIOUS (CE136) M W Leung -- Nice position 2Ls off pace in 4th out 2-wide at 1200 M, hard pressed to keep up at the 800 M, beaten turning for home, very poor run.
14 3 REAL REJOICING (CH202) G Mosse TT1 Unacceptable debut, slowly away, soon in rear and detached over 800 M, to trial.
