1 10 SUPERKING DRAGON (N318) B Prebble B/TT Settled in second position on the fence after handing up the lead near the 1200m. Kicked clear early in the straight and withstood late challenge.
2 11 RAIN OF THUNDER (CJ352) D Whyte BO Settled behind midfield, 3 wide with cover. Ran on well particularly over the final 100M.
3 2 YUAN'S FORTUNE (CL021) A Suborics B Made its run from third last position after being 1 off with cover. Closed off gamely.
4 12 STARLIT WARRIOR (M162) M Chadwick H/TT Stalked the leaders on the fence. Stayed on reasonably in the home stretch to figure in the frame.
5 1 MOBILE KING (P084) C Y Ho -- When wide early, was allowed to stroll forward and took up leading duties after the 1200m, 1 off. Failed to quicken and was one paced in the run to the line.
6 8 MR MARFACH (M067) U Rispoli B/XB1/TT2 Eventually got cover near the 1200m, settling in 3rd position. Was a beaten horse approaching the 200m.
7 9 SECRETARY OF STATE (N231) N Callan B Race just ahead of midfield, 1 off with cover. Just plugged away in the straight.
8 7 BURGUNDY MAC (M205) K C Leung B Settled back in the field, close to the rail, had cover. Peeled out approaching the home turn and came widest in the straight, plodded to the line.
9 3 KENSWORTH KID (N075) T Angland B Ridden along early landing in about midfield position, had the fence with cover. Struggled in the straight.
10 6 SMART GUY (M377) C Y Lui H Posted 3 deep without cover for the major part of the trip, settling behind the speed. Never a factor.
11 4 THE ONLY KID (CH173) Z Purton B2/TT Settled at the rear, 3 deep with cover. Shifted wide on straightening, failed to close off and weakened easily over the latter stages.
