1 1 BUMPER BUMPER (CD025) S Dye -- Bumped at the start, settled on fence in 3rd 3Ls or 4Ls off the speed from 1200 M to 600 M out, improved to 1L down in 3rd off home turn, slipped up inner to lead 150 M out, pulled clear.
2 3 KONRAD THE GREAT (CB059) G Mosse SR Checked at the jump, one from rear on fence when 9Ls off pace at 1200 M, still in 11th place when 5Ls down and 3-wide turning for home, ran on strongly to claim 2nd in final strides.
3 8 FORTUNE BOY (CC378) D Dunn B Led by 1L on fence at 1200 M, over-raced early on and tended to hang out throughout, still 1L clear turning for home, headed by winner 150 M out, run out of 2nd place final strides.
4 5 COSMO SUCCESS (CC250) D Whyte -- Troublesome in barriers, on fence in 6th 4Ls or 5Ls off the speed from 1200 M to 600 M out, 3Ls down in 6th off final bend, ran on at same pace, always looked booked for a place at best.
5 11 DESERT STRIKE (CB054) R Fradd SR About 8Ls off the pace and 2-wide in 10th from the 1200 M to 600 M out, forced 5-wide turning for home when 5Ls down in 10th, ran on fairly well late on.
6 10 LUCKY SUPERSTAR (CA270) H K Yim -- In rear 9Ls or 10Ls off pace and 2-wide from 1200 M to 600 M, last and widest of all (6-wide) turning for home when 6Ls off speed, made a little late headway.
7 4 CORAJOSO (CB230) G Schofield SR/H On fence 6Ls or 7Ls behind the leader in 9th at 1200 M and same at 600 M, 4Ls down in 9th off home turn, well held and only staying on at same pace when steadied a little 150 M.
8 2 REWARD (BV116) D Boeuf BO Couldn't lead, tended to hang in and raced in snatches in 2nd place 2-wide and 1L off pace from 1200 M until turning for home, dropped away markedly through final 300 M.
9 9 GREEN VACATION (CB411) W M Lai B Bumped at start and 1400 M out, 4Ls or 5Ls off pace from 1200 M to 600 M when 2-wide in 7th place, short of room from home turn to 200 M, found very little under pressure.
10 6 GLORIOUS LIGHT (CC115) Y T Cheng -- 3Ls off pace in 4th when 2-wide at 1200 M and 2Ls down and 2-wide when hemmed in by weakening REWARD in front and SUCCESSFUL SPIRIT outside, swamped once clear at 200 M.
11 12 EUPHORIC KID (CB165) W Smith B Slowest away, raced and 2 and 3-wide with cover in midfield between 5Ls and 7Ls off the speed until 600 M out, 3Ls down and 4-wide into stretch, soon emptied out.
