1 2 FIFTY FIFTY (CD131) P Payne -- 3-wide but with cover down backstretch in midfield 5Ls off pace, 4Ls down and 5-wide into home straight, quickened up very well while hanging right to lead 200 M out, driven out.
2 11 KEEP ON EASY (CC263) D Whyte SR-/TT1 Settled on fence about 3Ls or 4Ls behind leader in midfield through to home straight, good progress on inside to be a neck 2nd at 200 M, winner too strong but still a good effort.
3 10 LUCKY PORT (CD086) G Schofield TT Ridden from gates, towards rear about 8Ls off the pace down backstretch, 7Ls down and one from rear entering straight, ran on strongly, never nearer.
4 6 TSZ WAN FORTUNE (CC367) W M Lai -- Keen early on when 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1000 M, led at top of home straight, headed 200 M out, no extra and faded close home.
5 12 TIRAMISU (CB386) F Coetzee V About 5Ls off pace in midfield and about 2 or 3-wide through to home straight, some progress to be 3Ls off pace in about 6th at the 200 M, didn't follow through.
6 13 WHATA FEELING (CB267) G Mosse -- Raced about 4Ls behind the speed when 2-wide in about 6th place through to home straight, a little closer turning for home, staying on only fairly when steadied 250 M out, didn't recover.
7 7 WISHMASTER (CB240) H K Yim -- Had a nice spot on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd until 800 M out, loomed up with every chance 300 M out when close to leading, still there at 200 M but weakened markedly thereafter.
8 5 EAST OCEAN DRAGON (CB194) R Fradd B/TT Worse than midfield when about 6Ls or 7Ls behind the speed until home straight, never threatened.
9 1 CHINOOK (CC108) H W Lai -- In rear bunch about 8Ls off pace down back straight, on fence and under pressure on the swing, all out to get within 4Ls of the speed at the 200 M but faded again.
10 8 PEARL OF INDIA (CD298) S Dye -- Disputed lead early on, mostly caught 3-wide without cover about 2Ls off pace in 4th from 1000 M out, under pressure to lie up at the 600 M, faded steadily from top of home straight.
11 9 TANAHMERAH (CC051) A Marcus V Slowest away, worse than midfield about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace through to home straight, very one-paced from then on.
12 4 HELENE ELEGANCE (CB004) W Woods H-/B/TT Pressed on to lead by 1L on fence at 1000 M, always a little bit too keen, headed at top of home straight, faded right out.
13 14 PORTER RICKS (CB401) J Holder B Never got involved, always in rear, never better than 8Ls off the speed at any point.
14 3 GOT IT GOOD (CC229) O Doleuze -- Well placed for first half of race 2-wide and about 3Ls behind the speed in about 5th, struggling to keep up entering home straight, faded out rapidly.
