1 7 BIG TIME BABY (A157) M Chadwick -- Jumped well, tracked leaders along the fence, into clear passing 400M, quickened up well to wrestle the lead 100M out, kept on to the line.
2 3 ELUSIVE STATE (A036) J Moreira TT Bustled along after the start to maintain a midfield position, 4Ls off the pace 400M, stayed on well to claim 2nd near line, nearest finish.
3 11 SUNNY BOY (A379) C Schofield CP Chased leader 2-wide, ridden to take lead passing 200M, headed by winner 100M, lost 2nd before line.
4 12 SEVEN HEAVENS (B089) K Teetan B/H/TT In touch tracking the pace in 4th spot, kept on steadily in the straight but always held by first 3.
5 2 YEE CHEONG BABY (C273) Z Purton -- Driven along, crossed to the lead before the turn, came under pressure 300M, headed inside 200M, weakened towards the line. (Blood in trachea / Jockey : did not handle the pressure when racing on the AWT first time.)
6 9 LOVING A BOOM (C122) K C Leung B/XB Taken across behind runners early stages, held up behind midfield, ran on same pace final 300M, never a threat to leaders.
7 5 SPEEDY KING (A391) K H Chan -- Along the inside never far off from leaders, ridden and outpaced from 350M, soon out of contention.

9 4 RAGING BLITZKRIEG (B147) R Bayliss H Driven along from draw 12 but failed to muster, caught very wide and without cover in midfield, couldn't finish off in the straight.
10 1 DRAGON GENERAL (T400) B Shinn B/TT Dropped back from wide draw, settled in last over 10Ls off the pace, failed to make any impact turning home, never in the picture.
11 8 PICK NUMBER ONE (B021) G van Niekerk B/TT In mid-division along the 3 path, bumped rival at 450M, struggled from there. (Jockey : did not feel comfortable in its action after becoming unbalanced home turn.)
12 6 LIMITLESS (A115) U Rispoli H/P/XB Held up behind midfield, caught wide no cover during race, couldn't keep up from 600M, weakened away to finish tailed off. (Unacceptable Performance).
