1 5 CELEBRATION (CB029) D Whyte SR-/B2 Travelled well with the run of the race in 3rd about 2Ls off speed from 1200 M to home turn, picked up nicely to lead at 300 M, always in command.
2 12 SUPER IDEAL (CC223) O Doleuze BO/XB 4Ls back in 6th when 2-wide at 1200 M, 5th and 3-wide taking home turn, good acceleration to go 2nd over 2Ls back at 100 M but winner already out of reach.
3 10 SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) A Delpech B/TT 6Ls back in 9th when 2-wide at 1200 M, 5Ls down in mid-division off final bend, ran on well late to nick 3rd on the line.
4 4 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) H W Lai B 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1200 M, a neck down in 2nd at top of home straight, plugged on fairly well in closing stages but lost 3rd on the line.
5 14 G-ONE LEADING (CE306) M Odendaal -- 3-back on fence in 5th about 4Ls off speed at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 4th entering homestretch, one-paced from then on.
6 11 BUDDIES POWER (CB201) K T Yeung B/TT Led on fence by 1L at 1400 M, headed by winner about 300 M out and weakened steadily.
7 2 QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) W M Lai -- 9Ls off pace in rear at 1200 M, 8Ls back in 12th and 3-wide on straightening for home, made some minor late ground.
8 6 ALWAYS HAPPY (CE085) Y T Cheng B/TT2 Close enough if good enough, 3Ls off pace in 4th at 1200 M, struggling to maintain this prominent position off final bend, tired through final 200 M.
9 8 RAIN IN SPRING (CC320) S Dye -- 8Ls off speed in 11th at 1200 M, 7Ls down and still worse than midfield taking home turn, never dangerous.
10 3 CENTENNIAL SMILE (CG165) G Mosse -- Never on terms, 7Ls back in 10th at 1200 M on fence, niggled at 800 M, always a respectful distance off them.
11 1 GREEN IN BLUE (CD117) N Ryan CP-/B2 4-back on fence about 6Ls behind speed in 8th at 1200 M, no better off when under pressure taking home turn, very weak in final 200 M.
12 9 NAMJONG MONEY (CG176) S K Sit B1 Always 3-wide no cover, in 7th place about 5Ls behind at 1200 M, hard pressed to keep up when 4-wide (widest of all) taking home turn, dropped right out.
13 13 A PLUS FIT (CD013) R Fradd B Slowly away and didn't muster any early dash, 10Ls last at 1200 M, always well behind, poor effort.
