1 12 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) C W Wong B 7Ls off pace in 11th out 2-wide at the 1200 M, niggled along on the circle to take closer order entering straight, finished off strongly to hit lead about 50 M out, kept on.
2 7 SILVERBIRD (CB335) Y T Cheng B- 5Ls off pace in 9th when 2-wide at 1000 M, under pressure 600 M out and 3Ls down when 5-wide (widest of all) off final bend, responded well to lead 200 M out but headed by winner final 50 M.
3 9 HURRICANE WAY (CH039) A Delpech B 4-back on fence 5Ls off pace in 8th at the 1000 M, edged closer 3Ls behind in mid-division at home turn, vying for the lead at 200 M, no extra final 100 M but did enough to place.
4 3 SINOSPIEL (CG003) D Whyte B Nicely placed around midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off lead with cover until the 600 M, 2Ls back when 3-wide off final bend, every chance when a neck down at 200 M, couldn't follow through.
5 11 KNIGHT TEMPLAR (CC021) M Nunes B Awkward break, midfield racing 3-back on fence about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed through to the 600 M, closer on straightening and with every hope of at least a place, tired final 100 M.
6 4 SWEET BABY (CG294) F Coetzee B-/V1 Prominent but caught 5-wide without cover early on, got in 2-wide and 1L off pace at the 800 M, a neck down 2nd at home turn, all out at the 200 M and faded late.
7 5 KING OF SPADES (CC056) E Saint-Martin B About 7Ls from the front in 10th on fence at the 1000 M, 4Ls down on straightening but never had very much room on heels of those in front through closing stages, may have finished closer. Not properly tested.
8 1 MAIN ATTRACTION (CB218) B Prebble V prominent early on, led by 1L on fence at the 900 M and a neck to the good entering straight, headed about 200 M out and quickly folded.
9 13 LUCKY YEARS (CD331) C K Tong PC-/XB/B2 Ridden along to dispute early lead on fence, soon handed up the lead at 1000 M and adopted 'box seat' position 2Ls off pace on fence in 3rd or 4th until home turn, weakened sharply final 200 M.
10 14 WISHING WELL (CD368) W M Lai PC-/B2 Over-raced early on in a prominent role, left 3-wide no cover from the 800 M when 3Ls off pace in 5th, made headway to be 1L down in 3rd at home bend, still there at 200 M but wilted markedly final 200 M.
11 2 NEW TAMAR (CE156) P H Lo B/XB Never on terms, 10Ls off pace in 12th at the 1000 M, still well behind off final turn, never landed a blow.
12 6 FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) D Nikolic B Handy position early on, 2-wide and 3Ls back in 4th at the 800 M, struggling to lie up turning for home and weakened out, eased down late.
13 8 WORLD SERIES (CG121) M W Leung B Didn't break well and soon a long way behind, 12Ls behind at the 1000 M, never a factor.
14 10 A PLUS FIT (CD013) S K Sit B- Very poor performance, slowly away, always a long way detached in rear, to trial.
