1 14 SHATIN WIN WIN (CE284) W M Lai XB-/H/TT2 Worse than midfield 3-wide with cover about 6Ls off pace before straightening, ran on strongly down centre of the track to lead on the line.
2 3 ROCKET POWER (CH136) F Coetzee B/TT Took a while to muster speed but led by 1L on fence at 1000 M, held same margin 200 M out when hard ridden, foiled on the line to end up 2nd.
3 5 BAAZIGAR (CG171) S Dye -- Settled in rear on fence about 7Ls off pace down backstretch, under pressure in same position turning for home, ran on well through the field for a place, would have won with more ground.
4 4 SPARE A DIME (CH155) D Whyte -- With cover in midfield through first half about 4Ls off pace, hung out on the circle and under pressure to improve on final corner, stayed on dourly, nearest at finish.
5 2 PACHINKO (CH208) B Prebble -- 3-wide with cover and one from rear about 7Ls off pace through early stages, in a worse position circling for home, made some modest late ground past beaten rivals.
6 1 CONQUEROR (CE270) S K Sit V 4-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in midfield at halfway, slipped back to 5Ls down entering homestretch, kept on at the same pace.
7 13 PALIO KING (CG073) P H Lo TT Keen early on but held box-seat position on fence in 3rd from 1000 M to home turn, still with place prospects at furlong pole, faded out and no excuses.
8 6 FORTUNE WHEEL (CH018) G Mosse TT Prominent but 3-wide no cover early on, 1L off pace in 2nd out 2-wide tracking leader from 1000 M to home straight, all out in same position at the 200 M, weakened.
9 10 ABLE STANDARD (CG043) Z Purton B/TT Better than midfield about 3Ls off pace down the back but left 3-wide no cover on the circle and 2Ls down in 4th off final bend, didn't find much under pressure.
10 8 SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) K Shea -- 3-back on fence down backstretch about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace in midfield, steadily lost position from the 600 M and plugged on home without posing any danger.
11 11 MOONGLOW (CG008) Y T Cheng B/XB/TT Trapped 4-wide no cover throughout, about 5Ls behind pace in 10th or so at the 1000 M, widest and further back entering homestretch, made no impact.
12 12 COME HO CHOI (CE082) C K Tong B Slowest away and 7Ls last at the 1200 M, marginally better off swinging for home straight, no impression.
13 7 SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) O Doleuze -- Worse than midfield 900 M out when niggled along about 6Ls off pace, struggling in rear making final turn, never in touch thereafter.
14 9 TERRAFERMA (CG016) D Beadman V-/XB/CP1/TT Over-raced early on, 2Ls back in 4th at the 800 M and same into home straight, emptied out and eased final 100 M. (Bled.)
