1 7 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) W M Lai B Best away, disputed slow pace before taking up box-seat role from 1100 M to straight, needed the full length of the run-in to get up in final strides.
2 10 CITY SURFER (CG129) B Prebble B/H Led by 2Ls on fence at 1100 M, about a neck clear from 900 M to home straight, tried hard but couldn't repel the winner's late dive.
3 2 REWARDING STAR (CG234) Y T Cheng TT 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1100 M, flanked the leader until home straight, given every chance to succeed but tipped out of quinella final strides.
4 1 BRILLIANT FLASH (CE042) O Doleuze B 4-back along the rails in 8th at first, 3Ls back in midfield turning in, ran on well in the finish but couldn't get to leading trio.
5 8 MEATH (CE143) H W Lai SR/V 2-wide and 3Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, 2Ls off taking last bend, ran on okay late but wasn't helped by trying to quicken up from a slow tempo.
6 9 BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) K L Chui TT 3-back along rails when 4Ls down in 6th at 1000 M, 3Ls off swinging for home, stayed on alright to conclude without posing much threat.
7 5 ALL OUR WAY (CE217) Z Purton XB/B2 One from rear about 7Ls off pace at 1000 M, a little closer off last bend, ran on okay late but not helped by the steady tempo.
8 11 PURE ALPHA (CH008) M Du Plessis CP/XB Crowded at start, 6Ls last at the 1200 M, still in rear turning in, made some minor late headway but done no favours by jogging tempo.
9 3 ELECTRONIC MASTER (CJ135) G Mosse B- 5Ls behind the pace in 7th or so at halfway, niggled along to stay in touch at the 600 M, made no impact in the straight
10 4 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) D Whyte B Fractious in gates, 6Ls off speed in 9th at 1000 M, pressured to make ground 500 M out and widest turning for home, no impression. (Questioned for disappointing performance.)
11 6 GENIUS MASTER (CJ117) S K Sit B 3-wide no cover when 4Ls back in 5th at 1000 M and failed to get in at any stage, struggling in midfield off last bend and yielded ground rapidly.
