1 4 ROYAL PERICLES (CH050) Z Purton B/XB Settled handily in 3rd 3-4Ls behind the runaway leader, quickened well to strike the front nearing 100M, drew nicely clear at the finish and won this in fine style.
2 2 WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (CH145) O Doleuze CP1 Ordinary start, went forward and soon led, kicked 4Ls clear over the home turn, kept on well only to be headed 100M, faded in late stages but managed to cling on for 2nd. (Jockey questioned regarding riding tactics.)
3 12 MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) H W Lai -- Taken across behind runners from draw 12, settled in last but not hurried, swung wide into straight and picked up strongly from off the pace to finish 3rd. (Jockey dropped whip 250M.)
4 9 SPECIAL K (CK114) B Prebble CP-/B1 Taken back from a wide draw, settled 7-8Ls back towards the fence, steadied near 300M then ran on strongly to finish 4th, never nearer.
5 5 CALIFORNIA MOON (CK097) M Chadwick TT Not far off from leaders in early stages but got outpaced making the final turn, made some headway inside 250M despite hanging in.
6 8 GRAND STORE (CH087) M W Leung -- Quickly into stride, chased leader in 2nd place, weakened inside 200M and found no extra close home.
7 6 FINN MACCOOL (CK072) J Lloyd B/TT Slow to begin, improved to a midfield position along the rail, couldn't find another gear and remained at the one-pace throughout the straight.
8 11 VICTORY CONQUEROR (CJ230) D Beadman XB/TT Dropped back to the rear after an even break, swung widest for home and couldn't quicken under pressure.
9 1 PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) D Whyte P2 Raced 2-wide behind mid-division but proved very difficult to settle, had a clear run coming off the bend but found disappointingly little in the finish.
10 7 NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) K L Chui B Broke well but was soon restrained, settled behind midfield 3-wide, hard driven inside 350M but couldn't muster and kept on at the same pace to the line.
11 3 SILVER SUN (CE126) A Suborics -- Raced 3-wide throughout in midpack, driven but no progress inside 300M, eased when no chance.
12 10 BEAUTIFUL DREAMER (CH108) G Cheyne B Not far off the lead in early stages, checked near 500M and shuffled back, didn't pick up coming off the bend and never any impression.
