1 2 SUNBELL (CB391) O Doleuze -- Disputed lead out 2-wide at the 1000 M, left with the run on fence 2Ls off the pace from 800 M to home straight, still 2Ls down 200 M out, kept on well up the fence to lead final strides.
2 5 SHOGUN (CB446) D Whyte TT Didn't break well, disputed lead on fence 1000 M out, was 1L clear 800 M to home straight when travelling well, still 1L to the good 200 M out, all out but collared by winner final strides.
3 9 SUNNY DESERT (CB346) E Saint-Martin B 3-wide and 3Ls off the pace at the 1000 M out, got onto fence 4Ls off the pace 600 M out, travelled well turning for home, ran on okay but never quite threatened quinella pair.
4 10 FORTUNE MAPLE (CA385) G Schofield B Disputed lead out 3-wide 1000 M out, raced 2-wide half a length off the pace 600 M out, 2Ls down and steadily weakening 200 M out, kept fading.
5 12 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) W C Marwing B Raced 2-wide 6Ls off the pace from 900 M to home straight, made some late headway final 200 M but was much too late.
6 7 AFICIONADO (BV293) S Dye -- Carried wider from outside gate early on, went from 5 and 6-wide and 3Ls off the pace 900 M to 3-wide without cover 1L off the pace 600 M out, one-paced in straight and beaten 250 M out.
7 6 HIN YUEN'S UNICORN (BS319) S K Sit B- Was very wide and awkward round first bend with head up, raced 3-wide 4Ls off the speed 700 M out, hard ridden at the 500 M, one-paced and not dangerous in homestretch.
8 3 ELVIS (CC078) D Dunn B Bounded in air exiting gates, on fence 8Ls off the pace 900 M out, was no closer when 4-wide into home straight, finished off at same pace.
9 11 SUPER BEST (CB380) F Coetzee TT Switched towards inside rail upon exiting gates, 10Ls off the pace and 2-wide 900 M out, 3-wide into home straight when same distance off lead, never a factor.
10 8 ETERNAL START (BV079) R Fradd SR Raced 3Ls off the pace and 4-wide 1000 M out, drifted back to be 2-wide and about 7Ls off the front at the 600 M, never competitive from then on.
11 4 SING AND DRINK (CC127) C Soumillon -- Caught 3-wide and 2Ls off the pace at the 1000 M, tended to race greenly throughout, 4Ls down when veering extremely wide turning for home, no chance from then on. (See Racing Incidents.)
12 1 O' SHINY (CC165) Y T Cheng -- About 5Ls or 6Ls off the pace on the fence 1000 M out, struggling to keep up when 8Ls down on straightening, weakened further.
