1 14 WIN SPEED (J205) M Chadwick B Bumped shortly after the start, moved up to race handily behind leaders, poised to strike top of straight then lengthened nicely to lead 250M, soon in control winning it handsomely.
2 7 LEGEND ST PAUL'S (J507) K C Leung -- Urged along to be 4th chasing leaders, 4th on settling, driven 400M to chase eventual winner but couldn't get closer final 200M.
3 5 CORLEONE (J426) H Bowman -- From draw 1 maintained a midfield spot along the inside, little change in position to the straight then ran on mildly to fill a minor placing. No threat to first two.
4 4 AMAZING RUN (H401) L Hewitson -- Switched off to the rear on jumping from draw 11, plenty to do top of straight, closed off fastest final 400M, got up for non-threatening 4th close home.
5 12 AFFIRM (H306) H Bentley CP-/V1/TT From draw 14 strode to the lead as expected, kept going top of straight, caught by winner near 250M, faded towards the line.
6 9 CALIFORNIA MOXIE (J131) B Avdulla CP-/B1/TT Slow to begin, taken across to the fence and settled in a rearward position, made non-threatening progress passing 400M, raced in restricted room late stages and not able to be fully tested.
7 8 LUCKY TOUCH (J203) C Y Ho B/TT Away with them, raced towards the rear 7Ls off the pace, held up 400M to 200M before making some late progress. Could do better.
8 3 DREAM PURSUER (G241) L Ferraris B Jumped only fairly, gradually improved to a position behind midfield, ran home fairly final 400M.
9 6 FORERUNNER (G465) Z Purton TT Dropped back to near the rear, wide into straight, gave short-lived effort early straight then failed to run on final 200M. (Trainer could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance.)
10 13 SKYEY BLUE (J212) Y L Chung TT Settled down in midfield, hard pressed 500M to maintain his position, couldn't go on final 300M.
11 1 ROMAN CROWN (J456) K Teetan -- Jumped on terms, reserved behind mid-division 5-6Ls away, failed to finish off the race under top weight. Never troubled leaders.
12 10 HARMONY N HOME (C531) M F Poon -- Reserved behind midfield but caught 3-wide without cover for the majority of the race, gave limited response on straightening. Never in the picture.
13 2 FASHION LEGEND (J080) A Atzeni TT2 Bumped shortly after the start, went forward from draw 13 to press the pace, run ended 250M then dropped out rapidly.
14 11 FIREFOOT (J183) C L Chau TT Restrained after the start, raced keenly in middle stages, in the rear 9Ls off leader making home turn, couldn't quicken.
