1 9 SPLIT SECONDS (CC275) F Coetzee CP/P1 Awkwardly away, settled in rear about 8Ls off pace down back straight, 4-wide into straight when 5Ls off pace, picked up well and 1L 3rd at 200 M, hung but led 100 M out, kept on.
2 12 FANTASTIC STAR (CC294) A Delpech -- Towards inner about 4Ls off pace in midfield at 800 M, 3-wide and 3Ls down in 4th off home turn, every chance when a neck down at 200 M, couldn't contain winner late on.
3 14 NORTHERN ROSE (CC268) A Marcus SR1 2-wide and no worse than 3Ls off pace in 4th until 800 M, a neck 2nd turning for home, led 300 M out, headed about 100 M out, no extra.
4 6 SOLAR (CC198) D Dunn B Settled towards rear, 7Ls down in 12th at 1000 M, still towards rear and 6-wide into home straight when 4Ls down, staying on in midfield when just over 1L down at 200 M, one-paced close home.
5 1 LUCKY KING (CA304) M W Leung -- 2 and 3-wide in rear with cover about 7Ls off pace down back straight, 7-wide (widest of all) into home straight, 1L down in 5th at 200 M, couldn't sustain effort.
6 2 SHANGHAI FRIEND (CB153) G Schofield -- About 5Ls or 6Ls off pace in midfield down the back, 4Ls down off final bend, 2Ls down but looking held at 200 M, one-paced.
7 11 ACME OF SURPRISE (CB376) C Williams -- Didn't break well but quickly recovered to hold prominent spot on fence about 2Ls off pace through to home straight, lacked another gear.
8 4 OLIVE OR TWIST (CB271) K T Yeung B Slowly away but soon recovered to lead by 2Ls, under pressure and only half a length up entering straight, headed 300 M out and faded.
9 13 EL VIENTO (BT129) W Woods -- On fence about 5Ls off pace at 800 M, closer on the swing when 3Ls down in midfield, much too one-paced.
10 10 A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) Y T Cheng SR Dropped out in rear early at least 8Ls off pace, 5Ls down and still rear entering straight, no impression.
11 5 MAGNIFICENT (CB390) R Fradd B-/SR1/TT- 6Ls off pace down back straight, closer on home turn, never likely to get involved.
12 3 CHERISHED (CB160) W M Lai P2 3-wide, sometimes without cover, down backstretch in midfield, 3Ls down and 4-wide in home straight, beaten 300 M out.
13 7 SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) D Whyte -- Had cover in midfield about 5Ls off pace early on, found nothing under pressure.
14 8 TIGER TIGER (CB433) J Quinn -- In 2nd place and 2 and 3-wide without cover early on, under pressure to lie up on the circle, dropped out markedly in straight.
