1 12 LUCKY MARAUDING (CC362) D Whyte -- Travelled well about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace in 5th or 6th through to 600 M out, 3Ls down in 3rd at top of home straight and same at the 200 M, kept on well for pressure to get up final strides.
2 14 CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) H W Lai -- Awkwardly away (rider lost his whip), pressed on to lead by 2Ls on fence 1100 m out, 3Ls clear off the home turn and at 200 M, one-paced closing stages and grabbed dying strides.
3 9 THE WORLD OF LOVE (CC066) R Fradd -- Settled about 7Ls off pace in rear down the back straight, no better entering straight, well adrift and remained well adrift of quinella pair but kept on through the remainder for a place.
4 11 GREEN TREASURE (CD225) G Schofield TT Had a nice spot on fence when about 2Ls or 3Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th down the backstretch, same on straightening, one-paced thereafter.
5 4 COLOURFUL ERA (BP234) J Holder B About 7Ls off pace towards rear until 800 M, hung out entering straight when 5-wide and about 8Ls behind the speed, made some moderate late headway.
6 2 DOUBLE HAPPINESS (CB198) G Mosse -- Worse than midfield when about 6Ls off pace and niggled along to take closer order at the 700 M, 3-wide into home straight, always outpaced. (Lame.)
7 7 ROMAN BOY (CD283) W M Lai -- In midfield, caught without cover occasionally when 4-wide about 5Ls off pace down backstretch, hard pressed to keep up turning for home, no threat.
8 10 INDUBITABLY BLISS (CA058) F Coetzee TT 2-wide and about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace in midfield until the 800 M and into home straight, no impression.
9 3 UPBEAT (CC347) S Dye B Tried to lead but was headed by runner-up 1200 M out, raced 2-wide and 1L off pace in 2nd at 1000 M, under pressure to keep within 2Ls of the pace in 2nd into home straight, dropped out tamely.
10 6 AFRICAN FOREST (CD174) T Mundry -- 3Ls down in 4th and 2-wide and hanging out at the 800 M, under pressure from 700 M out to hold this position, steadily faded.

12 13 ABORIGINAL (CC284) K S Yu SR Hard ridden from gates to race in main bunch, in about 10th place about 7Ls behind at 1000 M, some headway on fence to be 6Ls down in 5th entering straight, soon dropped out.
13 5 FOUR ACES (CC141) M W Leung TT Bounded at start and slowest away, always deepest on the track and no better than 6Ls behind the speed, 5-wide at the 600 M, 6-wide (widest of all) into home straight, well outpaced.
UR 1 ONE MORE ROUND (CC135) P H Lo -- Raced 3 and 4-wide without cover down back straight when about 4Ls behind in midfield, beaten entering home straight when unseating rider after clipping heels and pecking.
