1 8 SNIPER (CD110) B Prebble B Settled in midfield 2-wide and no worse than 4Ls off pace through to home turn, 2Ls down in 5th at 200 M, kept on finding to lead on the line.
2 2 ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) W M Lai B1 2-wide between 2Ls and 3Ls behind leader in 4th or so until final bend, over 1L down in 3rd at the 200 M, stayed on strongly but grabbed by winner on the line.
3 3 BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) G Schofield B Always close up about 2Ls off the pace and 3-wide without cover until 500 M out, led at top of home stretch, grabbed by quinella inside final 50 M but hung on gamely for a place.
4 9 NOBLE BOSS (CD360) D Whyte XB/TT Slowest to begin, worse than midfield about 5Ls off speed at 1200 M, headway to be 3-wide with cover at 600 M, all out to be 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, no extra, narrowly missed a place.
5 6 SUPER DANA (CC293) G Mosse B 3-back on fence in midfield inside the winner about 4Ls off the speed until home turn, stayed on fairly well but never likely to place.
6 10 DURABLE (CE190) S Dye -- Led early on, settled into box run on fence 2Ls off lead in 3rd from 1600 M to home turn when unbalanced, always outpaced by principals despite being a little short of room close home.
7 7 SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) H W Lai -- Slowly away, always towards rear at least 6Ls off the speed until home turn, made some moderate late headway.
8 4 SUNDAY DELIGHT (CC225) E Saint-Martin -- 2-wide in rear bunch at least 6Ls off the speed until final 400 M, didn't trouble leaders.
9 11 MAIN ATTRACTION (CB218) C W Wong B- Lost some ground at start, worse than midfield about 5Ls behind leader until the 800 M, further back on straightening, posed little threat.
10 12 SOARING ANGEL (CC360) H K Yim B Led about 1600 M out, 1L clear from 1200 M to home straight, headed 300 M and weakened out.
11 1 KIDDY SING (CD005) F Coetzee -- Never on terms, 8Ls last through to homestretch when under pressure, very weak effort.
12 5 NATURAL ECHO (CB326) C Soumillon B Prominent but 3-wide no cover early on, 1L off pace in 2nd when 2-wide at 1000 M, all out to stay within 2Ls of the leader entering homestretch, faded sharply inside final 200 M. (Lame.)
