1 4 DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) D Whyte -- 4Ls back and 2-wide in 5th at 1000 M, 4-wide swinging in and grabbed the lead at the 200 M, kept up to the job for a narrow win.
2 2 GOLD GEM (CG197) D Beadman CP1/TT1 3-wide with cover down backstretch about 8Ls off pace, pressed on from 600 M but 6-wide (widest) turning in, stayed on strongly for 2nd but post came too soon.
3 10 NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) G Mosse V2 Close to the pace but covering plenty of ground down backstretch, led at top of home straight but headed at 200 M, did enough for a place.
4 8 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) S Dye -- One from rear about 10Ls behind at 1200 M, headway when opting for an inside run which closed into home straight, switched out wider at 300 M, stayed on strongly, never nearer.
5 1 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) B Prebble V/XB Midfield with cover about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace until the 600 M, had the opportunity to place but failed to quicken.
6 9 DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) S K Sit B 3-back on fence in 6th about 5Ls off speed at 1000 M, hard ridden to improve at the 600 M, had his chance to place.
7 11 CENAMIRA (CD129) H W Lai B/TT Towards rear about 8Ls off pace early, 3-wide turning for home when 6Ls back, minor late headway, nearest at finish.
8 14 HAPPY ASH (CG106) M Nunes B/XB In 2nd on fence 2Ls off pace at 1200 M, 1L down in 2nd at 600 M, one-paced and swamped inside final 200 M.
9 3 STARFINDER (CH074) C W Wong -- Caught 3 and 4-wide without cover through to final turn in a midfield position roughly 3Ls or 4Ls from the speed, yielded ground final 400 M.
10 6 BAUHINIA (CD118) F Coetzee B-/PC2 4Ls behind in 4th on fence at 1000 M, driven along to maintain this proximity at the 600 M, weakened steadily.
11 5 STAR PRODIGY (CD294) C K Tong P/TT 3-wide with cover about 5Ls back in 10th at 1000 M, not much better off turning for home, no impression.
12 12 DANZIGMOUNTAIN (CG139) E Saint-Martin B/TT 3-back on fence and worse than midfield about 5Ls behind at 1000 M, without clear running turning for home but found zero once in the open.
13 7 MASTER ABLE (CD349) W M Lai B Slowest away, 12Ls last at 1200 M and 3-wide with cover, never on terms.
14 13 PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) Y T Cheng -- Led on fence by 2Ls at 1200 M, held a break until the final bend but swamped over 300 M out, eased close home.
