1 5 MISTER DAPPER (H376) B Avdulla V-/XB/B2/TT Stepped away cleanly from barrier 9, raced prominently to be 3/4L outside the leader, stuck to the task and dug deep to fend off a late challenger.
2 2 MAX QUE (J514) Z Purton TT Moderately away, happy to let the speed go in midfield one off, 5Ls or so off the leader turning for home, let down sharply centre of track but just unable to pip the winner bob of the heads.
3 11 WITHALLMYFAITH (K428) M L Yeung B/XB Began smartly from gate 7, charges forward to take up the lead, still kicked strongly in the straight despite setting fast sectionals, only overhauled in the last few strides, brave in defeat.
4 8 FIVEFORTWO (K381) L Ferraris TT Was average to begin and angled across to the rear, given a patient ride 10Ls off the good speed, widest into the straight with stacks of ground to make up, made strong late impression.
5 10 FANTASTIC FUN (J364) K Teetan XB/TT Jumped with the field and raced 3 back the fence, pumped along at 400m, momentarily difficult to establish a run in the straight, close off okay without threatening the top four.
6 3 TELECOM FIGHTERS (D482) M Guyon -- Straight into the box-seat trail from a low draw, tracking leader 2Ls back, one-paced when asked over the final stages.
7 1 FLYING FORTRESS (J445) H Bentley XB/TT Out with rest, settled 2 wide near the pace, showed good response early in the straight, not fully ridden out inside 100m due to rider's concern of the horse's action (See Incident Report).
8 7 KEMPES (J265) A Atzeni XB- Settled well back on the fence, moved off the rail in the middle stages, closed off fairly over the final stages.
9 12 ROMANTIC LAOS (G476) M F Poon CP/TT Was slow into stride and settled at the back division, forced slightly wider turning for home, made some minor progress in the end.
10 4 A AMERIC TE SPECSO (H037) D B McMonagle B Settled towards the rear on the rail after a sluggish start, travelled okay throughout, failed to show his usual turn of foot with good pace up front.
11 6 PERFECT TEAM (H120) E C W Wong B/TT Ran out of room shortly after the start and taken back to last, hugged the rail throughout, found nothing in the straight.
12 9 OUTGATE (H113) Y L Chung TT Pressed forward from an awkward draw, unable to slot in 3 wide facing the breeze the whole trip, under pressure inside 400m, gave ground quickly and tired out.
