1 10 FIGS (CE141) S Dye B Fastest to begin, showed pace to lead them easily, ran field along at a genuine clip 3Ls clear, had rest chasing on circle, shot away in straight and scored convincingly in handy time.
2 9 AS YOU WISH (CE290) A Delpech V/TT Lost position on jumping and raced at rear 10Ls off pace on rails, helped by tempo in mid-section, well back on bend, came to outside and made many lengths but got nowhere near winner.
3 2 STAR PRODIGY (CD294) F Coetzee P/TT Out nicely, settled prominently 3rd on rails 5Ls off pace, had to cart field up on circle, urged along on turning, made some progress in straight at same speed.
4 7 DANEPRINT (CC221) Y T Cheng B Standard jump, ended up in middle of pack 7Ls off pace, had an even trip with speed on, kept to rails on circle, switched out but only managed a one paced finish.
5 1 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) O Doleuze V/XB Ordinary getaway but regathered to hold leaders back, broke away from back trailing at a solid tempo, 2Ls down on turning, there to 200 M but faded late when workload took toll.
6 5 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) C W Wong B Moderate jump, drove through to settle in midfield 6 to 7Ls off front runners, lost spot approaching bend, well back turning, kept to rails and made some late headway.
7 8 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) D Whyte -- Began in line, faded back to race behind midfield 8Ls away in 2 wide line, helped by tempo in mid-section, found rails on circle, steadied at 400 M, closed evenly when clear.
8 4 HURRICANE WAY (CH039) K Shea B Jumped in line, drifted back to tail 10Ls off pace, aided by strong sectionals in front, still well back approaching straight, made little impression in run to line.
9 11 NATURAL ECHO (CB326) M Nunes B Slow from jump, raced at rear 12Ls from pace pair, helped by pace on, still had field to beat on turning, couldn't get closer in straight.
10 6 SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) H W Lai TT Away well, unable to slot in and forced to travel 3 wide in midfield without cover, 6Ls back at midpoint, weakened out in run to line.
