1 5 METRO POWER (K408) J Orman -- Showed customary early speed to lead, kept going well passing 300M, was strongly challenged by rival late stages but managed to hold on.
2 8 ACE CHAMPION (K379) R Kingscote TT Jumped awkwardly, restrained in mid-division along the fence, close enough to leaders passing 300M, did best work late and was nearest at the finish.
3 9 MEOWTH (J487) A Badel CP/SR/TT Chased leaders in a 3-wide position without cover, challenged hard for the lead from 300M but couldn't quite get past leader, lost 2nd closing stages.
4 2 WONDER KIT (G455) L Hewitson B Quickly away, crossed to the fence and settled just off leader, kept battling in the straight to stay in contention but was always held by leaders final 200M.
5 7 SPIRIT OF PEACE (K007) A Atzeni -- Held up behind midfield, 4-5Ls off leader 400M, ran on steadily towards the line for non-threatening 5th.
6 3 OUTGATE (H113) Y L Chung TT Pressed forward to be racing in 2nd, fought on one paced in the straight before weakening out of contention final 100M.
7 1 LOVE TOGETHER (L052) C Y Ho TT Dropped back form wide draw to race in a position near last, wide into straight but couldn't quite finish off in the straight. (Jockey : disadvantaged by settling back in the field.)

9 11 LUCKY TOGETHER (L079) M Chadwick TT From wide draw taken across behind runners, settled near last about 5Ls back, lacked a finishing response in the straight. Never involved.

11 10 LEAPING STAR (L189) M L Yeung -- Jumped only fairly, ended up in last 6-7Ls off leader, could not muster any sort of challenge in the straight.
