1 11 SPEEDY EXPRESS (CB365) R Fradd B Away well, disputed lead on fence through to home straight when travelling well, half a length clear and hard ridden at 200 M, hung on gamely under pressure.
2 9 AMAZING (CB331) D Whyte SR- In midfield and 2-wide niggled along to hold position 900 M out when 4Ls off pace, 5Ls down and hard ridden and in 9th on straightening, kept on very well for pressure to nearly win.
3 7 SOUNDS BETTER (CC104) G Schofield -- Steadied at start, on fence about 4Ls off pace in about 8th or 9th at 800 M and same into home straight, stayed on well in the home straight for a place.
4 10 JOYFUL MASTER (CA289) W Woods PC In 3rd or 4th place about 2-wide 2Ls off pace through to home straight, loomed with every chance when half a length down in 2nd at 200 M, no extra, missed a place close home.
5 8 TANAHMERAH (CC051) D Dunn V-/P1 On fence about 6Ls off pace in rear until 500 M out, ran on steadily through closing stages, never really troubled principals.
6 12 UPBEAT (CC347) S Dye B Always caught wide without cover, half a length off pace at 800 M and 3-wide at 800 M, 4-wide into straight when 2Ls down in 4th, still 2Ls down in 4th at 200 M, one-paced thereafter.
7 4 WISHMASTER (CB240) H K Yim SR/H Pressed on to dispute lead out 2-wide down back straight, a neck down in 2nd off home straight, all out to get within 1L of the pace in 3rd at the 200 M, weakened.
8 1 TRUST ME (CA144) C Williams -- 2-wide and about 3Ls or 4Ls off the speed through to home straight, very one-paced thereafter.
9 6 FREEBIRD (CC319) D Boeuf SR/CO Awkwardly away, 2-wide and 5Ls off pace in 11th at 900 M, hung out badly around the circle, last when 5-wide (widest of all) into home straight and 8Ls down, made a little late ground.
10 5 MAJOR BEE (CB374) K C Tsang B Couldn't lead despite hard riding, raced on fence between 2Ls and 3Ls off the speed from 800 M to home straight when under strong pressure, faded out gradually. (Lame.)
11 2 BORN DRAGON (BS215) M Kinane B- Never really got involved, 3-wide and 4Ls off pace in 10th at the 800 M, ridden along when 6Ls down and 3-wide on straightening in 10th place, found nothing under pressure. (Lame.)
12 3 SHARE THE FUN (CC111) G Mosse TT Bumped at the start, hindered about 900 M out, 3-wide with cover and 3Ls off pace in midfield at 800 M, steadily lost position on the circle, soon beaten.
