1 1 LUCKYME (CH012) Y T Cheng TT Always leading by 1L on fence or in a close 2nd position, headed by MARIBEAU inside final 200 M but battled back to score, gutsy win.
2 3 MARIBEAU (CH213) D Whyte B- Always well and led by half a length at 1200 M, 1L down in 2nd at 600 M, led briefly at 200 M but out-fought by the winner close home.
3 13 ROMANTIC GREEN (CG123) F Coetzee -- Always close up on fence about 3Ls back in 5th until home turn, stayed on fairly well and just secured a place.
4 4 FIRST BABY (CG170) K L Chui CP Should have placed but for wayward shifting left inside final 200 M, midfield with cover early on, 4-wide and 2Ls down turning for home, 1L down at 200 M before veering out.
5 12 MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) B Prebble XB Over-raced a little early on, 4Ls back in midfield at halfway and same turning for home, stayed on quite well, nearest at finish.
6 2 NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) D Dunn -- Covered up towardsd rear about 6Ls off speed at halfway, a little closer in midfield taking final turn, always held by most of those in front.
7 10 CELEBRATION (CB029) C W Wong B Caught 3-wide no cover throughout, 3Ls back in 3rd or 4th down the back straight, 2Ls down in 3rd at top of home straight, one-paced final 200 M.
8 7 DR MORE (BV164) O Doleuze -- Slowly away, 4-back the fence in midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls or so behind the speed until home straight, stayed on at just the one pace.
9 8 GOOD PARTNER (CE221) G Mosse TT Settled in rear from wide gate about 7Ls off pace, about 5Ls back in 10th turning for home, stayed on OK without threatening. (Blood in trachea.)
10 5 SOUNDS FANTASTIC (CH146) K T Yeung XB Always worse than midfield with cover about 5Ls off pace until home straight, didn't find much off the bit.
11 14 SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) A Delpech -- 9Ls back in last at 1200 M, about 6Ls back in 13th turning for home, never landed a blow.
12 11 CONTICASTA (CH176) D Beadman XB/TT Awkward break, prominent but racing too freely early on, over 2Ls back in 4th at halfway and hard pressed to maintain this proximity at home bend, beaten over 200 M out.
13 6 RELY ON ME (CE068) W C Marwing V-/TT Worse than midfield covering ground but mostly with cover down backstretch about 6Ls off pace, closer but 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, soon tired and well beaten.
14 9 SUPER DANA (CC293) P H Lo B Never travelled well, ridden along towards rear early on, 7Ls last and struggling taking final bend, no impression.
