1 1 REWARDING STAR (CG234) Y T Cheng TT On the rails and 3Ls or 4Ls from the front at halfway, going well and steadied off heels turning in, stayed on well to lead close home.
2 6 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) W M Lai B Led by 1L at 1200 M on fence but handed up soon after to track in 2nd until home straight, regained lead at the 200 M but grabbed late in the piece.
3 10 VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) F Coetzee B Nicely placed in 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th or 5th through to straight, was once again found wanting in the finish but did enough to place.
4 2 SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) B Doyle B- Checked at the start, 4Ls back with cover at halfway, 4-wide (widest) swinging for home, had his chance to place but too one-paced in the finish.
5 8 KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) D Beadman XB 4-wide no cover early but pressed on to lead by 2Ls on fence at 1000 M, headed shortly after straightening and one-paced to wind up.
6 3 MEATH (CE143) D Whyte SR/V 7Ls back in 9th at 600 M, not helped by steady tempo, made a little headway but of little concern to main players ahead.
7 5 DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) K T Yeung SR 6Ls behind pace out 2-wide in middle stages and marginally closer off last bend, ran home at the same pace.
8 4 CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) Z Purton B/TT On the fence and 8Ls or 9Ls back in rear until straightening, slow race tempo of no assistance and never got a look-in. (Tactic questioned.)
9 12 SPRING SMILES (CG269) M Du Plessis B Went back from widest gate, slow-pace disadvantaged, 9Ls last at halfway and soon niggled along, no impression.
10 7 OPERA MAGIC (CB404) B Prebble B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
11 11 KEY WINNER (CG157) K L Chui B/TT Much more prominent than usual, 2Ls back in 2nd out 2-wide early on and 3rd turning for home, dropped out from top of home straight.
12 9 AMAZING ME (CH080) O Doleuze XB/TT Bungled the start, 4-back the rails in midfield about 5Ls from the speed at halfway, never going well thereafter and very weak to close.
