1 2 LUNAR REFLECTIONS (L009) H W Lai B1 Tracked leaders in 3rd, poised to strike passing 400M, ran on well to lead inside 200M, drifted out under pressure final stages but had enough in hand to secure victory.
2 9 VERY WELL (M161) B Doyle SR/XB Taken across behind runners, raced in 2nd last 8-9Ls off the pace, came out and driven inside 500M, finished fastest outside to go 2nd close home but never looked like catching the winner.
3 1 FLYING IN (CK120) B Prebble B Given a waiting ride, settled well in a rearward position 7Ls back, stayed on for 3rd without threatening the winner.
4 12 SUNNY MORE (M150) J Lloyd H/TT Led slowly early stages, increased tempo from 1200M, headed passing 200M, kept on same pace final stages.
5 10 GO LUCKY GO (CJ320) W M Lai -- In 4th spot never far off the pace, had every chance turning in, kept on same pace final 200M.
6 8 FLORA DANICA (M064) M Du Plessis -- Tracked leader one out one back, ideally placed to strike turning home, battled on under urging final 300M but lacked the needed late kick, one paced final stages.
7 11 MY WAY (CJ203) C Y Ho -- Settled behind midfield and had an uneventful trip to straight, responded fairly turning in and never going the pace to challenge.
8 5 PERFECT SPRINT (L107) T Clark TT Held up in midfield along the fence, nudged along halfway round the final turn but made only limited progress, run ended nearing 100M.
9 7 HAPPY DRUMMING (M354) O Doleuze B Positioned 2-wide in midfield but raced keenly middle stages, no impression in straight and inclined to lay in final 300M.
10 4 OTTIMO (CK238) Y T Cheng -- Caught 3-wide without cover in midfield, came under pressure inside 500M, had little left final 250M.
11 3 CASA JUNIOR (M366) G Mosse -- Awkwardly away and lost ground, ended up 10Ls back in last, struggled to keep up home turn, eased when well beaten mid-straight.
