1 2 CRUSH ON YOU (CH065) B Prebble B Slow to start, 4-back on fence in midfield at halfway, 4Ls back on straightening, benefited from a strong ride to get lead final strides.
2 12 PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) C W Wong -- Led by 1L on fence from 1000 M to home turn, joined about 100 M out and tipped out by the winner on the line.
3 7 OPTIC KING (CE139) H W Lai SR/CP In 2nd on fence at 1200 M, still 1L back in 2nd making home turn, joined PERFECT ATHLETE in front at 100 M, missed quinella final strides.
4 1 GLOBE RIVER (CD228) C K Tong V/TT In 3rd no worse than 3Ls from the front until final bend, had every chance to at least place but was too one-paced.
5 8 SILVER WRAITH (CE178) C Soumillon B 2-wide in midfield about 5Ls from the speed until final turn, stayed on at the same pace.
6 11 CROWNED GEM (CE056) K T Yeung B/TT 3-back on fence about 4Ls from the front in 5th at 1000 M, could not take advantage of his nice position in the straight.
7 5 VITAL PATROL (CC335) D Beadman TT Towards rear about 6Ls or 7Ls from the speed early on, head up at 800 M, under pressure on straightening, made some minor late ground.
8 4 LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) K L Chui B1/TT Caught 3-wide no cover about 4Ls from the early pace, without cover and midfield turning for home, one-paced.
9 9 SUPER (CD036) Y T Cheng SR/XB/TT Towards rear about 6Ls from the speed out 2-wide until final bend, posed no danger.
10 13 AMBITION (CC079) S Dye B/TT Slowly away, about 7Ls back in rear until home turn, never likely to make much headway.
11 3 FAST WINNER (CG140) G Mosse H Caught 4-wide no cover down the back straight when about 10th and 5Ls from the pace, never got much closer.
12 6 FILEBO (CE214) Z Purton -- Keen at 1000 M when 3Ls back in midfield, about 4Ls back turning for home, very weak thereafter.
13 10 GLOBAL WAY (CG158) D Whyte B/TT 4-with cover in rear down the back when 6Ls from the front, stayed there.
14 14 STRAIGHT VICTORY (CE328) S K Sit CP/TT Niggled along about 8Ls last early on, never passed a rival.
