1 10 PERKYMAN (BJ268) L Cassidy -- Settled in rear. Commenced run home bend and within striking distance but not much room upon straightening. Quickened well to assert authority once into the clear inside 200 M.
2 6 CELESTIAL FORTUNE (BN010) D Oliver -- Always prominent, racing freely early stages. Came to tackle leaders under pressure upon straightening but not match late burst of winner closing stages.
3 12 KING'S GLAMOUR (BN180) H K Yim -- Tightened at start dropping to last, then trailed the field until making steady headway on outside from Rock. Widest runner turning in and continued to make ground though without threatening.
4 3 PERFECT SWING (BM243) L Dettori -- Jumped well, settling towards rear. Came under pressure home bend and ran on steadily in straight to reach 4th final strides.
5 9 LUCKY CLOVER (BK101) T Quinn -- Prominent. Improved to hold some chance upon straightening but failed to peg back leaders under pressure.
6 2 BEST ONE (BH010) W M Lai -- Soon led from wide draw, crossing gradually to inside before stable bend. Unable to sustain effort and swamped passing 200 M.
7 8 AMERICAN CHAMPION (BN179) C W Choi B Close up. Improved to dispute lead rounding home bend and into straight, but found no extra and overhauled inside final 100 M.
8 7 TALISWIN (BN095) K Darley -- Always in rear of field, despite making some moderate late progress closing stages.
9 5 INDIGENOUS (BP103) P Robinson -- Slowly away then travelled wide and towards rear before improving to midfield at 1000 M bend. Remained there to home straight, then one-paced.
10 4 STELLAR EXPRESS (BK130) B Marcus -- Settled in mid-division. Steadied and lost ground passing 600 M. Recovered to some 2Ls off pace, saving ground on inside, turning into straight then one-paced.
11 1 JOINT ACCOUNT (BL132) K M Chin -- Prominent early, settling in mid-division stable bend. Made steady progress along back straight to be 1L 3rd approaching home bend but weakened passing 400 M.
