1 11 FORTUNE DRAGON (CH324) D Beadman B/TT Lost ground start, unhurried down back straight travelling comfortably on rail, challenged on inside to take lead 100m out and gradually pull away.
2 10 ZEPHYRUS (CH285) W C Marwing B/TT Fifth on rail early, moved closer entering straight, challenged in centre and ran on well without being able to resist winner's finishing surge.
3 3 PACKING FRIEND (CK109) D Whyte -- Broke well, but no early urgency, 6th one off rail far side, urged forward entering straight, pulled wide to challenge, ran on but no match for front two.
4 9 FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) G Cheyne TT Slowly away, ridden, but slipped back to third last far side, back on bit briefly just before entering straight, ran on well but perhaps didn't give full co-operation throughout the race.
5 14 ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) H W Lai B Broke well but then gradually slipped back through field although urged to hold position, ridden early in straight, then hard ridden, ran on quite well but lacked punch.
6 6 FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) B Doyle B Broke fairly well, urged to keep place midfield one off rail far side, shaken up early in straight, challenged mid track, lacked pace to reach leaders.
7 7 WONDERFUL GAINS (CK050) J Lloyd -- Unhurried early, raced 6 from rear down far side, but niggled, made a little ground in straight but could not get to leaders under driving.
8 13 CLASSIC ENERGY (CJ143) K H Yu B/TT Slow into stride although ridden, 3rd last and pushed along far side, closed entering straight, ran on under pressure before weakening final 50m.
9 12 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) B Prebble B/TT Unhurried early and tacked over to rail from wide draw, 4th last one off the rail far side, pulled wide to challenge, drifted to near rail, not quick enough to threaten.

13 4 CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) T H So B Ridden early to take forward position on rail, needed mild encouragement far side, pulled out to challenge straight, found nothing.
