1 9 OPTIC KING (CE139) B Prebble SR/CP Made all, led by 1L on fence at 600 M, looked vulnerable about 250 M out but found enough to maintain a margin of about 1L inside final 200 M.
2 8 SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) F Coetzee H/TT Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off speed until home turn, stayed on okay but never likely to catch the winner.
3 2 RACING SPIRIT (CE105) D Whyte B/TT Always in the front line about 1L off pace in 2nd or 3rd until home turn, upsides the winner and dangerous 250 M out, failed to follow through.
4 10 BEAMING RIVER (CB078) W M Lai -- In 10th on fence about 4Ls off pace early on, never really threatened and only stayed on past a few beaten rivals late.
5 1 MILLION CHASE (CD132) O Doleuze B Tucked in 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in midfield until home turn, had every hope but just lacked the gears.
6 7 PRIME MOVER (CG028) K L Chui TT Worse than midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace until home turn, gave ground steadily.
7 12 DRAGON INN (CE327) M W Leung B- Always prominent but caught 3-wide throughout, 1L down in 3rd on straightening, folded soon after.
8 3 TO THE POINT (CG014) D Nikolic V No early speed and about 6Ls down in 11th taking home turn, never got into it.
9 6 MASTER YING (CB249) G Mosse B 4-wide (with cover) down the back straight about 1L off pace, over 2Ls down in midfield turning for home, petered out.
10 4 FASTER FASTER (CG010) Y T Cheng -- Trapped six-wide (widest of all) without cover down the back straight, widest and further back taking final bend, emptied out at the 200 M.
11 5 WINNING CHAMP (CE233) C W Wong -- Fractious in the gates and hopeless at the start losing about 10Ls instantly, never a factor.
12 11 A-TACK (CC343) H W Lai B2 Caught 5-wide down the back straight when about 1L off the speed, lost his position on the circle and very weak in the home straight.
