1 13 TIRAMISU (CB386) M Nunes V/TT 2-wide about 5Ls back in 6th at 1000 M, 3-wide about 3Ls down making home turn, improved to go 1L down in 4th at 200 M, stayed on well to hit lead inside final three strides.
2 6 HAPPY MASTER (CE050) G Mosse SR Checked on fence at 1200 M, 3Ls back in 5th at halfway, marginally closer turning for home, picked up well to lead 150 M out, grabbed by winner inside final few strides.
3 1 JUBILOSO (CD381) D Nikolic B Checked at start, 4-back on fence about 5Ls off speed in midfield at 800 M, closer turning for home, made some nice late ground to place but never very likely to figure in quinella.
4 3 FOREVER FORTUNE (CG145) E Saint-Martin B 6Ls back in 7th out 2-wide at 1000 M, 4-wide turning for home when 3Ls down in 7th, given every hope to at least place but didn't have the gears.
5 5 GANBARIA (CE052) O Doleuze B 2-wide and 2Ls down in 3rd at 1000 M, kept on to lead at top of home straight, headed again about 150 M out, tired late and missed a place.
6 7 BIG KAHUNA (CG177) B Prebble B Towards rear about 8Ls off pace and 3-wide with cover at 1000 M, over 4Ls down in 11th into homestretch, made only minor late ground despite strong riding.
7 11 FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) K L Chui -- Caught 3-wide no cover throughout, 5Ls back in midfield at 800 M, still in midfield about 4Ls behind out 5-wide (widest of all) taking home turn, stayed on OK, had excuses.
8 12 NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) C K Tong V Soon led on fence, 1L clear at 800 M, headed at top of homestretch and faded out steadily.
9 14 COP HILL LAD (CD292) H K Yim -- Switched from wide gate to sit 2-wide and 8Ls off speed at 1000 M, 7Ls down in 13th turning for home, one-paced.
10 2 TERRAFERMA (CG016) H W Lai B/TT Didn't lead as is often the case, over-raced when 1L down in 2nd at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 4th and under pressure turning for home, battled on at the same pace.
11 9 HAPPY FIT (CH084) F Coetzee XB/TT Checked at start, 5-back on fence early about 7Ls off pace, 6Ls down in 13th off final turn, posed no danger whatsoever.
12 4 PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) A Delpech XB Mostly 2-wide, 2Ls off pace in 4th at halfway, driven along to improve taking final turn, very weak inside final 200 M.
13 10 INVESTAR (CH099) A Starke XB Always in rear, 8Ls off pace at 1000 M, ridden along to get within 5Ls of the speed at final turn, didn't make any further inroads.
14 8 CHARMING MONKEYS (CH148) C W Wong -- 10Ls last at halfway, detached in rear turning for home, very weak display.
