1 5 CYPRESS HILL (CE061) G Mosse -- Mostly 3-wide with cover around midfield about 6Ls from front until 600 M, 4Ls down in 7th taking home turn, picked up well to lead while bumping runner-up 150 M out, scraped in.
2 6 VINCERE (CE324) O Doleuze B Never travelled well despite box-seat run throughout on fence 2Ls back in 3rd, always under pressure but still hit the front 200 M out, bumped when headed by winner 150 M out, kept on.
3 11 SILVERBIRD (CB335) Y T Cheng CP/TT Crossed from wide gate to be 4-back on fence in 8th about 6Ls from the lead, 5Ls back in 8th entering stretch, stayed on fairly well late for a place.
4 3 PROPELLOR (CE263) W M Lai V Tardy break, always 3-back on fence about 4Ls off speed in 5th or so through to home straight, challenging and 1L down 200 M out with every hope to at least place, one-paced final stages.
5 7 FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) A Delpech B Always 3-wide no cover, 3Ls back in 5th at 1100 M, 3Ls down in 4th into home straight, kept on quite well despite the tough trip, fairly commendable effort.
6 1 ROCKET WIN (CE249) H W Lai SR-/CP2/TT- Shoved out very deep (5-wide) at 1300 M and dragged back to last 8Ls off pace 1100 M out, 4-wide (widest) turning for home when 6Ls down in 9th, ran on, never nearer.
7 9 CHALLENGER (CE138) M Odendaal B Crowded early on, 7Ls back in 10th when 2-wide at 1000 M, about 8Ls back in rear off home turn, made up some fair late ground without troubling principals.
8 10 SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) C W Wong TT 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th and 3Ls off speed at 1000 M, under pressure to lie up when circling for home, rather one-paced in the finish.
9 2 GLORIOUS RHYTHM (CC163) F Coetzee V Pressed on to sit 1L off leader out 2-wide at 1100 M, moved upsides turning for home and clear lead briefly 300 M out, headed over 200 M out and dropped out tamely.
10 12 CENAMIRA (CD129) K W Tsui B Fairly well placed 2-wide and 5Ls back in mid-division at 1000 M, began to lose position from 600 M to 400 M and petered out quite feebly in the homestretch.
11 4 SINOSPIEL (CG003) K L Chui B1 Awkward break losing ground, shared last place 8Ls off pace throughout, never competitive.
12 8 NAPA (CE271) N Ryan -- Best away and soon by 1L on the fence, joined at top of home straight and folded right out once headed at top of home straight, finished lame.
