1 7 ISLAND BUDDY (J217) K Teetan -- Fast to jump, prominent one off the rail, kept finding plenty to the line when challenged by the late swooper.
2 4 MALPENSA (K545) J Orman XB1/TT Fairly away, gradually settled in the last few, angled into the clear wide 450m out, lifted strongly to be 3/4 L outside the winner inside final 150m, unable to bridge the margin further.
3 2 CONRAD PATCH (L106) C L Chau TT Began swiftly and sat one out one back 3L off the leader, raced in limited room briefly in the Straight, attacked the line strongly when asked thereafter.
4 3 NORTHERN FIRE BALL (J488) K C Leung H-/TT Jumped with them, sent forward to have uncontested lead, still led by 1-1/2 L rounding the home turn, boxed on well to make top four.
5 1 VOYAGE BOSS (K321) Z Purton B From the widest draw switched off and sat 3 deep with cover at the rear, switched wide for home, made up decent late ground (See Incident Report).
6 10 PERIDOT (K148) B Avdulla -- Sat midfield 2 wide, raced keenly in the middle stages, closed off well only beaten less than 3L.
7 8 SO MY FOLKS (K456) H Bowman CP/XB/TT Away awkwardly, quickly recovered to be 3rd tucked in the trail, had difficulty obtaining clear passage over final stages, unable to be fully tested, excusable.
8 6 CAP LINER (L012) L Hewitson CP-/TT Jumped on terms and straight to the fence midfield, held up until last 300m, held ground.
9 5 ALABAMA SONG (K480) D B McMonagle H Dragged back to the tail early stages, pushed along to stay in touch at the home bend, stayed on well.
10 11 RUNJEET (K276) R Kingscote XB/H1/TT Out the back door early and quickly shifted across behind the field, took a while to wind up, never in contention.
11 9 INVICTUS DRAGON (K318) C Y Ho -- Away awkwardly and squeezed by rivals shortly after the start, sat just behind midfield on the rail, kept in a pocket over the concluding stages, a run to forget (See Incident Report).
12 12 ELEGANT LIFE (J366) D Probert B/TT Unable to slot in from gate 10 and covered ground throughout, raced ungenerously in the middle stages, faded under pressure inside final 200m.
