2 11 KAISER'S PRIZE (CD350) S Dye -- One from rear about 5Ls off speed at 1000 M, 3Ls down in midfield at home bend, went 2Ls down in 2nd at 200 M, no chance with winner but did enough for a comfortable 2nd.
3 1 TAIJI SPIRIT (CD185) K T Yeung V/TT Sluggish start but recovered to be covered up within 2Ls of pace in 5th or so through to home straight, 3Ls behind in 3rd at the 200 M, found no extra.
4 8 SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) Y T Cheng V Hard pressed early to settle 3Ls off speed in midfield on fence at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 4th at home straight, one-paced inside final 200 M.
5 5 WIN FOR ALL (CD002) B Prebble -- Fractious in gates and bounded at start, switched from wide gate to fence, 6Ls last at 800 M, 5Ls behind and towards rear entering homestretch, kept on only evenly.

7 12 KINGS CROSS (CG124) G Schofield -- 4-wide with cover about 5Ls off speed in rear early on, 3-wide taking home turn when 6Ls down in rear, made some headway until being steadied 200 M out, failed to run on again.

9 2 BULLISH STAR (CE319) K L Chui CP/TT Never better than midfield or 4Ls off pace until homestretch, hung out into centre of track in stretch while weakening right out. (Bled.)
10 6 SHERIFF BAMBOO (CC257) C K Tong BO- 4-wide with cover down the backstretch when about 4Ls behind lead in 8th, 4-wide no cover on the circle and forced wider into centre of track turning for home, never on terms.
