1 13 KING PRAWN SUPREME (CJ076) F Coetzee B Awkward break but raced outside pace 1L back in 2nd at 800 M, led 500 M out and pushed clear, had more in reserve.
2 10 LUCKY FRUIT (CG026) O Doleuze B 3-wide with cover worse than midfield at 800 M about 5Ls from the speed and about 3Ls down making final turn, stayed on pretty well to nick 2nd late.
3 8 ALL TIME HIGH (CG285) C Soumillon CP/XB/TT Covered up in midfield early, headway to be a close 4th turning in, gave vain chase to the winner and tipped out of 2nd final strides.
4 7 SOUTH CHINA ELITE (CH027) B Prebble -- 3-back on fence in mid-division about 4Ls from early speed, 2Ls down off final turn, given every chance to at least place but came up short.
5 6 FERRO BEAU (CG244) D Beadman -- 2-wide and 2Ls down in 5th at 1000 M, about 1L down in 3rd or so on straightening, couldn't sustain the run in final 200 M.
6 5 NORTH HILL (CJ082) G Mosse -- Settled 4-wide with cover in rear between 5Ls and 7Ls from the pace through to final bend, ran on strongly down centre of the track to be nearest at the close.
7 12 MIRACLE FORTUNE (CH292) C K Tong -- 5Ls behind the early running with cover and headway to be 3Ls down in midfield at last bend, ran on okay without threatening.
8 14 SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) H W Lai -- 4Ls down in midfield or worse when 4-wide but with cover on the circle, failed to improve from centre field.
9 3 WIN-A-LOT (CJ124) M Nunes -- One from rear about 6Ls from the pace at halfway, outpaced in the home straight.
10 2 FOREVER FRIENDSHIP (CJ146) Y T Cheng XB1/H1 Fractious in gates and slowly away, in rear bunch about 6Ls off speed in middle stages, remained there in the stretch.
11 11 SPRING SUN (CJ128) D Whyte -- Kicked on out wide without cover to lead on fence by 1L at 800 M, headed by winner 500 M out and swamped passing the 200 M.
12 4 BOOMING CITY (CE325) E Wilson B/TT Trapped 3-wide no cover at 800 M when 1L back in 4th, hung out on the circle and 5-wide turning for home, gave ground by the 200 M mark.
13 9 ENCOSTA DON (CH305) W M Lai -- 7Ls last at the 800 M and still at tail end about 5Ls behind at final bend, made no impact.
14 1 GRAND COMMANDS (CD300) C W Wong SR Nicely placed in 3rd through early stages but lost position on the circle and weakened out sharply from top of home straight.
