1 3 TOP SCORER (CE110) R Fradd TT Over-raced when leading by a neck at 1200 M, settled 2Ls on fence in 3rd at 1000 M, same position going well off home turn, angled out to lead at 300 M, driven out but always in charge.
2 4 TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) O Doleuze B-/CP2 Awkward break, raced no worse than 3Ls off pace in 4th out 2-wide from 1200 M to homestretch, 1L behind winner at 200 M, couldn't draw much closer.
3 10 LEGIONNAIRE (CD263) F Coetzee CP/TT Led out wide at 1200 M, clear by 2Ls on fence at 1000 M, 1L to the good entering home straight, grabbed by winner at 300 M, one-paced from then on but good enough for 3rd.
4 9 MR BEAUTIFUL (CB057) D Whyte -- On fence 6Ls adrift of the lead in midfield at 1000 M, 2- wide and 5Ls down in 8th taking home turn, stayed on only fairly, nearest at finish.
5 6 BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) Y T Cheng V Slowest away, 8Ls off speed in 10th at 1000 M, crept closer to be 5Ls back in midfield on fence into homestretch, headway to be about 2.5Ls back when steadied briefly at 100 M, no extra.
6 1 SOLAR POWER (CE047) A Delpech SR 6Ls down in 8th when 2-wide at 1000 M, about 4Ls down in 6th or so taking home bend, all out and same margin behind at 200 M, rather one-paced.
7 12 A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) G Schofield SR 8Ls back in 11th at 1000 M, still worse than midfield when at least 5Ls down into home turn, made some minor late ground.
8 8 GOOD TRIO (CD029) C Brown B 3-back on fence 3Ls down in 5th at 1200 M, still well placed entering homestretch, didn't find much under pressure and weakened through final 200 M.
9 13 DENDRANTHEMA LOVE (CD073) H K Yim V One from rear and 7Ls off speed at 1400 M, 9Ls down in 12th at 1000 M, hung out on straightening when 7Ls down in 12th then tended to hang in under pressure, minor late headway.
10 5 EVEREST (CC196) S Dye -- 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 2nd at 1000 M, 1L down in 2nd at final bend, one-paced until the 200 M when 2Ls down in 4th, then dropped out tamely.
11 7 COTTON BALL (CD327) C Munce -- 3-wide with cover in 9th at 1000 M when 7Ls off the pace, still 11th when 4-wide off home turn and 6Ls down, finished flatly.
12 11 TIMBER CITY (CC031) C W Wong B Switched from widest gate to fence and was 10Ls last at 1400 M, 7Ls down in 13th when 4-wide on straightening for home, never likely to be competitive.
13 2 SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) W M Lai -- Had no cover throughout, 4Ls off pace in 6th at 1200 M when 3-wide, hung out at 600 M and 4-wide on straightening when 5Ls back in midfield, soon retreated further back, eased late.
14 14 PULL NO PUNCH (CE087) P H Lo -- Always towards rear at least 7Ls or 8Ls off pace until 700 M when under pressure to lie up, became further detached.
