1 8 SMART GIANT (L405) J Lloyd XB/TT Settled behind midfield, best part of 6Ls back in two wide line, niggled along turning, closed strongly out of pack and did best work final 200m to score with some in hand.
2 6 OPEN SESAME (L091) M Chadwick TT Average break, made up ground to sit behind pace, 3-4Ls back on rails in run, drove through to lead soon after 300m, couldn't hold out winner late.
3 3 PLENTIFUL (CK319) M L Yeung -- Faded back as usual, raced 3 wide 8Ls or so away, improved gradually rounding bend, produced usual honest finish making good ground for 3rd.
4 11 DR WIN (L203) D Whyte -- Ended up behind midfield in rear division racing two wide, 7-8Ls off front end, made some progress turning, kept coming to be not far away in 4th.
5 13 MY WHISKY (CK071) Y T Cheng B/TT Showed usual speed to work across from outside gate and take up running, set even tempo in mid section, led turning but soon tackled, gradually lost advantage final 300m.
6 5 EVERYBODY SINGS (M168) B Prebble H Showed more speed than at debut, raced 1 out 1 back, there to bend, didn't show extra in straight and struggled final 200m (lame next day).
7 12 DILIGENT III (M211) H W Lai CP1 Faded back from a wide draw, raced 3 wide 9ls back near to last, well back to bend and had plenty to do turning, made some even progress in straight.
8 1 SUPREME FLIGHT (M199) T Angland SR1 Took a midfield spot 5Ls back in running line, easy time to bend, just battled away straight.
9 14 MR MARFACH (M067) T H So B/TT Tardy into stride, drifted back from an awkward gate, 6-7Ls back on rails, easy time to bend, just battled away in run to line.
10 2 MI REILLY (CJ199) K C Ng -- Showed good speed to lead before taking trail, had fair run thereafter with standard tempo, found little when asked and soon folded.
10 9 FLYING CHAPARRAL (M245) C K Tong -- Positioned prominently 2Ls or so away racing 2 wide, raced 3 wide without cover from 1000m, working hard approaching bend, steadily faded after using too much.
12 7 GO LUCKY GO (CJ320) C W Wong H No early speed and raced next to last 10ls off leaders, always well back, never a factor.
13 10 HIGH COMMAND (L390) P Strydom H-/TT Posted 3 wide in midfield, 5Ls back with cover to bend, folded soon after straightening.
14 4 DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) O Doleuze H-/CO- Came out very awkwardly and was detached, never really competitive (fractured nose and bleeding although not deemed to have bled).
