1 12 FORTUNE GOLD (CD343) A Delpech -- 4-wide no cover early on before pressing to lead by 1L at 1000 M, 1L clear turning for home and kicked over 2Ls clear at 200 M, tired close home and just hung on, gamely, well ridden.
2 3 HAPPY CONTENDER (CC152) D Whyte TT 5Ls off pace in 6th when 2-wide at 1400 M, 4Ls down in 5th taking home turn, over 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, kept on finding but post came a fraction too soon.
3 5 BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) C Soumillon V Slow away, worse than midfield 7Ls off speed at 1400 M, pressed on to 2nd 1L off pace out 2-wide from 1000 M to stretch, over 2Ls down in 2nd at 200 M, one-paced but did enough for 3rd.
4 14 SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) Y T Cheng TT Slow away, 3-wide no cover when 4Ls off speed in 5th at 1400 M, always without cover until home straight when 5Ls down in midfield, kept on fairly without fully threatening to place.
5 6 DANSOLDE (CE157) C Munce B Raced too freely early on, 3Ls off pace at 1400 M when 2-wide in 4th place, 3Ls down in 3rd taking home turn, always well held inside final 300 M.
6 4 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) G Mosse TT Reared exiting gates losing about 4Ls on field, worse than midfield 8Ls off speed at 1200 M, 7Ls down in midfield turning for home, never looked like getting much closer.
7 1 CHALLENGER (CE138) R Fradd B/TT Switched from wide gate to fence, head up at 1400 M when about 10Ls last, switched out at 500 M to be 4-wide on straightening when 8Ls down in 12th or so, stayed on fairly, never nearer.
8 11 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) K S Yu V On fence 8Ls behind lead at 1400 M, niggled along to take closer order from 1000 M, under pressure when 7Ls down taking home turn, no impression.
9 13 SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) H W Lai -- 9Ls off pace in 13th at 1400 M, similarly placed entering homestretch, plugged on past a few tired rivals.
10 7 SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) E Saint-Martin B Had the run of the race in 3rd off pace on fence by 2Ls at 1400 M, 3-back on fence at 1000 M, struggling to keep up when 5Ls down turning for home, faded out further.
11 2 ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) C W Wong -- 5Ls off pace when 3-wide with cover in 8th at 1000 M, drifted further back on circle to be 8Ls off the pace near rear turning for home, worsened.
12 9 BEST CHOICE (CE038) S Dye B Keen early on, led on fence at 1600 M, left with the run of the race 2Ls off pace at 1000 M, weakened on the circle and very tame thereafter.
13 10 SOARING ANGEL (CC360) K L Chui B Sluggish and ridden along early, 5Ls behind in midfield at 1000 M, lost position on the circle and towards rear about 8Ls behind off final bend, very weak in the stretch.
14 8 SUPER DANA (CC293) C Brown B 3-wide with cover about 9Ls behind in 13th at 1400 M, about 9Ls last at top of home straight, never a factor.
