1 1 ACROBATIC (CA108) D Whyte B Niggled to secure position in midfield near rail. 5Ls down on straightening when switched off rail to challenge, responded well from 300 M to take charge 100 M out, comfortably.
2 8 SPLENDID PATROL (BV066) M W Leung V Soon took up running, pinched rail 1400 M out, Drew 2Ls clear straightening up, every chance until overhauled near the 100 M, kept on quite well for 2nd.
3 7 SIROCCO (CA169) A Marcus -- Handy, never less than 3 wide. Made some progress in straight but soon one-paced.
4 5 GIFT (CB246) S Dye -- 2 wide around midfield but never on terms, especially in early and middle stages when unbalanced and dipped. Dropped back a bit home turn when under pressure, ran on steadily final 200 M.
5 10 CELLINI (CB242) S K Sit -- Waited with at rear. Switched 4 wide before straightening, made gradual ground from 250 M, effort not sustained final stages.
6 6 ALL THE BEST (BV211) G Mosse B Not far away, pulled a bit early stages. 3 or 4Ls adrift turning in, unable to quicken to challenge.
7 9 GRANDIOSO (CA327) B Fayd'herbe SR Jumped very awkwardly then travelled toward rear on fence. Made up some ground from 300 M, one paced concluding stages.
8 12 REWARD (BV116) C Williams SR Broke well then held up behind leaders on rail. One paced before beginning to give ground inside final 200 M.
9 2 INDUBITABLY BLISS (CA058) F Coetzee TT Tracked leader 2 wide before dropping away steadily from 250 M.
10 13 CITI CENTRE (CA281) W M Lai -- 2 or 3 wide just in front on midfield. Kept on same pace under pressure in straight, tired close home.
11 11 EPIC EXPRESSION (CB158) D Dunn B Slow to begin, at rear until running past tired runners final 200 M.
12 3 ISLAND WEST TREBLE (BV073) M Cahill -- Settled 2 wide rear of midfield. Dropped to the back rounding home turn, no response in home straight.
13 4 CENTURY HORSE (BT267) E Saint-Martin -- In front of mid-division on fence, found nothing under pressure straightening up, dropped out tamely. (Heart irregularity.)
14 14 DIAMOND AND GOLD (BP100) Y T Cheng -- Driven to find midfield position out wide. Could not keep up 1000 M out and dropped back towards rear. Last on straightening and no impression thereafter.
