1 11 GRABBIT (CG144) W M Lai B Always travelling well, disputed early lead on fence, held the box seat from 1400 M to home turn, switched out to lead over 100 M out, all out to barely get home.
2 2 GREEN IN BLUE (CD117) S Dye B 1L back in 2nd out 2-wide at 1600 M, always well there and a neck 2nd at top of straight, led 250 M out, headed over 100 M out but fought back gamely, missed by a nose.
3 9 BARRACUDA (CB320) P H Lo -- Hard pressed early on to lead on fence at 1600 M, slowed the tempo down the back, headed about 250 M out but well positioned enough to still grab a place.
4 4 SEA TREASURE (CD335) E Saint-Martin B/XB Slowest away and under pressure early on, about 10Ls last at halfway, still last when 6Ls down turning for home, kept on well inside closing stages to take 4th.
5 5 ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) F Coetzee B Nicely placed 3-back the fence no worse than 4Ls off pace in midfield until home turn, given every chance to place but lacked a turn of foot.
6 7 MEATH (CE143) D Whyte SR/V 6Ls off pace out 2-wide at halfway in 8th place, headway out 3-wide with cover from 1000 M, forced out 5-wide off home turn when 2Ls back in mid-division, one-paced on run-in.
7 3 CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) K L Chui B 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th a mile out, same margin behind when 4-wide turning for home, still with place chances at 200 M but lost momentum nearer the line.
8 12 SPRING SMILES (CG269) D Nikolic B Slow start, over-raced and green throughout, 6Ls back in 9th on fence at 1300 M, 4-wide and 5Ls back in 10th turning for home, no impression.
9 8 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) G Mosse -- Caught 3-wide no cover throughout, within 1L or 2Ls of the speed in 3rd or 4th until the final turn, soon emptied out and eased down passing the 200 M.
10 6 HAPPY HEROES (CD261) M W Leung -- Restrained in rear bunch about 8Ls off pace at 1600 M, still well behind taking final bend, made no ground down the centre of track.
11 10 SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) H W Lai B 5Ls off pace and 2-wide in 7th at 1400 M, driven along to take closer order on straightening for home, troubled very few.
12 1 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) O Doleuze B2 Soon 8Ls off pace in rear, made headway to move 5Ls off speed in 9th at the half-mile, all out to maintain this proximity taking final bend, weakened out.
