1 4 MEDALLIST (N024) B Prebble -- Landed a nice spot just off pace, had easy time 3-4ls back to bend, gained split between horses in straight and produced a solid close to outlast rivals.
2 1 LITTLE MEN (N441) D Whyte -- Trapped 3 wide from a tricky gate, had no cover in mid-section 3ls or so back, steady pace helped but did share of work to bend, kept finding in straight and didn't go down by much in finish.
3 7 GOLDEN SCALPEL (N224) K C Ng -- Showed good early pace to take lead, shaded by outside horse and eventually took trail on bend, came off leaders turning and joined in hitting front to 200m, touched out by principals final 100m.
4 2 LEVEL PLAYER (N323) M Chadwick TT Ended up 3 wide in midfield, 5ls back with cover, steady pace helped, switched wider and set out after leaders at 400m, kept on well to make frame.
5 9 MALHECHOR GOLD (M358) Y T Cheng SR-/TT Settled at rear, 7ls or so from top end, steady speed against, last on turning, produced a decent finish in straight making many lengths to be nearest on line.
6 13 COOL BEAN (N076) T Berry -- Out with rest, held a spot on leaders back, easy time on pace to bend, gained an inside run turning and looked a place chance before peaking inside final furlong.
7 10 PRECISION ERA (P006) W M Lai CP/TT Took a spot in running line, 5ls or so back just off midfield, in between horses turning, just kept on at same pace in straight.
8 5 ENTHUSIASM (P127) A Suborics TT Lacked early pace, raced 6ls back on rails behind midfield, saved ground turning, held up to 300m, made steady progress when clear.
9 14 OWNERS' GLORY (L391) C Y Ho B No early pace and ended up racing 3 wide at rear with cover, 6ls or more from lead, switched wider turning, closed off evenly without looking likely.
10 11 RIO WILLIE (N087) K C Leung SR Landed a spot in midfield 4-5ls back on rails, enjoyed an easy time in mid-section, took inside runs turning but was one paced in straight and offered little final 300m.
11 12 WIN ALONG (P003) M L Yeung B/TT Settled next to last on rails 7ls or so back, steady pace didn't help, always rearward and made no ground in straight.
12 6 ENGROSSING (P186) R Fourie XB Drifted back to race behind midfield, 6ls or so from leaders, pace against, made a short lived run at 4oom before folding tamely. (bled both nostrils)
13 8 VERDANE (P184) W C Marwing H Used a bit from a wide draw to cross and race outside leader, kept working shading inside horse on circle, took clear lead at 500m, lost advantage at 300m and weakened tamely.
14 3 OXFORD CHARLEY (P266) Z Purton SR Began well and assumed a spot 1 out 1 back, all favours to bend, made a 3 wide run turning but soon gave way and eased out. (see racing incidents re action)
