1 12 BUMPER BUMPER (CD025) C Munce -- Broke well, showed great speed to cross from wide alley, raced outside leader 1L away, enjoyed good run with even speed in middle stages, moved to be on terms turning, hit lead at 300 M, dashed at 200 M and just held on.
2 7 MY CHOICE (CC283) B Prebble -- Began fairly, ridden along to take up spot behind leader, had run of race 2Ls away on rails, used nothing and travelled well to turn, plenty to offer when held up to 200 M. Sprinted hard when clear. Unlucky.
3 1 SAMBUCA (CD189) W C Marwing -- Standard to jump, gathered speed to take up spot in midfield 1 out 2 back 3 to 4Ls away, tracked well in mid-section, eased 3 wide with trail into race on turn, kept trying in straight to battle out finish. Better effort.
4 6 HELLO PRETTY (CE210) D Whyte SR/H Slow to begin, hard ridden to drive through into position on rails near rear, raced ungenerously 7 to 8Ls away, kept saving ground and eased between horses on turn, no real room in straight and stopped for run at 200 M. No luck.
5 4 HAPPEE OWNER (CE230) F Coetzee TT Fast into stride, showed good speed to cross from outside alley, raced 3 wide early, slotted in to 1 out 1 back spot by midpoint, had fair run thereafter, angled clear 2Ls away on turn, gave all in straight but no dash last bit.
6 13 BEING FAMOUS (CD018) H W Lai B Broke with line, trapped wide from awkward alley, always 3 wide with no cover 4Ls away in mid-section, kept working into race with run 3 to 4 wide on turn, flat out at 300 M and couldn't go on last 100 M after hard run.
7 5 FRUITY FRUITY (CD061) D Dunn -- Average to begin, lacked early dash and drifted back to rear, raced at tail 8Ls away, used no petrol to turn, stuck to rails in straight making good ground late between horses to be closest at finish.
8 8 CHEEKY (CA266) O Doleuze V1 Standard to begin, lacked early toe, drove through into midfield position on rails 4Ls away, had good run to turn, in traffic and hard ridden early straight, checked badly 200 M and only kept on same clip thereafter.
9 2 WEALTHY (CD164) C W Wong B-/SR Average into stride, took up position just off midfield 5 to 6Ls off pace, raced 2 wide between horses throughout, pushed along 4Ls away on turn, in traffic for best part of straight, only kept on same pace when clear.
10 11 SILVER SUN (CE126) W M Lai -- Only fairly away, drifted back from wide alley when unable to get in, posted 3 and 4 wide without cover in mid-section, always working to turn, came with 4 wide run into straight, couldn't find in straight after hard run.
11 14 BOBO WIN (CC238) K L Chui TT Fast into stride, showed good speed to take up early lead, backed speed off nicely and dictated in mid-section (overracing a little), held neck lead on turn, headed from 300 M, didn't find and weakened out badly last 200 M.
12 9 ORIENTAL MAGIC (CE133) G Mosse TT Awkward to begin, lost ground shortly after start, positioned in rearward division 2 wide 8Ls from pace, not asked in middle stages, tracked 4 wide on turn, failed to go up a notch and kept on same pace last 200 M.
