1 11 ZERUBBABEL (CB418) F Coetzee B2 Bit keen very early on, always about 1L off pace in 2nd and 2-wide through to 600 M out, led 400 M out, 2Ls clear at the 200 M, ran on strongly.
2 13 DIVINE FEELING (CA355) D Dunn B 2-wide and 10Ls off the pace 1000 M out, 3-wide into home straight when 5Ls off pace, switched out wider 300 M out, 3Ls down at the 200 M, kept on well to nick 2nd place on the line.
3 1 ON THE TEE (CB052) W C Marwing SR 4Ls off pace and 3-wide with cover until 1200 M out, left without cover thereafter, 4-wide into straight when 2Ls down, no chance with winner but kept on gamely, lost 2nd on line.
4 3 CHATER LANE (CB339) M Cahill SR 2-wide and 8Ls off the speed 1200 M out, 5-wide into home straight when 4Ls off the pace, 3Ls down at the 200 M, just missed out on a place.
5 10 DASH FOR VICTORIES (CB389) B Prebble V1 A little keen when 3-wide without cover and 1L off pace until 1200 M out, got in 2-wide with cover from then on, 3-wide into home straight when 1L down, kept on at same pace.
6 12 JUST TOO GOOD (CB150) G Schofield V Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls or 3Ls off pace down back straight, 1L down on the swing, all out at the 200 M, one-paced closing stages. (Mucus in trachea.)
7 7 GREAT SENSATION (CB143) Y T Cheng -- Crossed from wide gate to fence, 11Ls off pace 1000 M out, in rear 6Ls off pace into straight, 3Ls down on fence when steadied when disappointed for running 300 M out, didn't recover. (See Racing Incidents.)
8 4 FABULOUS (CA152) R Fradd -- On fence 8Ls off pace 1200 M out, 4Ls down into home straight, didn't have a clear passage and was never fully extended in straight, wouldn't have won but was unlucky not to be placed.
9 9 FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) S K Sit -- Very awkwardly away losing at least 3Ls, 11Ls off pace and 2-wide 1000 M out, 6-wide (widest of all) into home straight and 5Ls down, always too one-paced on the run-in.
10 5 RICARDO (CB419) S Dye -- Bit keen out 2-wide and 4Ls off the pace 1200 M out, similarly placed but under strong pressure to lie up 600 M out, 3-wide into home straight, faded steadily.
11 2 EXCEPTIONAL (BT183) D Whyte B 2-wide and 5Ls off the pace 1200 M out, 4-wide into home straight when 4Ls off the speed, steadied when crowded for room at the 200 M, didn't recover.
12 8 LOK WAH SUCCESS (CB408) H K Yim B-/TT On fence 10Ls off the pace 1000 M out, 2-wide into home straight when 5Ls down, never got into it.
13 14 NAOMERIC TE SPECSO (CC093) K T Yeung B- Soon led, never clear by much more than 1L, headed at top of home straight, fading fast when very unbalanced at the 300 M, eased down.
14 6 BELLAGIO (BT123) M Walker B/SR On fence 5Ls off the pace 1200 M out, slightly closer but under pressure to hold position 500 M out, 2-wide into home straight, retreated quickly.
