1 5 FIGHTING MASCOT (CB426) G Schofield -- On fence 6Ls off pace in 8th at 1100 M, 4Ls down in 6th on swing for home, 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, got up to lead final strides.
2 2 KING OF FISH (CB105) S Dye B Soon led, always about 1L clear through to home straight and same at 200 M, grabbed by winner final strides.
3 3 WINNING SUNSHINE (CB291) D Whyte -- On fence 4Ls off pace in 5th at 1100 M, pushed off fence at 400 M and 3-wide into straight when 2Ls down in 4th, every chance when 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, couldn't follow through.
4 6 TANAHMERAH (CC051) R Fradd V 10Ls off speed in 11th at 1200 M, a little keen at 1000 M when 3-wide with cover in rear, 5-wide (widest of all) into home straight, ran on very strongly but post came too soon.
5 4 FORTUNE LIFE (CB207) A Delpech B Awkwardly away, 8Ls off pace in 10th at 1100 M, 6Ls down in 9th off home turn, made some good late headway.
6 12 WISE CHOICE (CB297) Y T Cheng TT1 4-wide without cover at 1300 M, got in 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1100 M, forced 4-wide into home straight when over 2Ls down in 5th, kept on well without really threatening.
7 1 NILOMETER (CD052) F Coetzee TT 6Ls off pace when 2-wide in 9th at 1100 M, same off home turn, kept on fairly, never nearer.
8 7 AHEAD A HEAD (CB092) D Dunn -- Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1200 M to home straight, one-paced thereafter.
9 9 RESOURCEFUL PRINCE (CA323) W M Lai B Always 3-wide and without cover, 6Ls off pace in 7th at 1100 M and 5Ls down in midfield when 4-wide into home straight, posed no danger.
10 10 MODERN PROSPECT (CC070) H K Yim B/TT Detached in rear about 15Ls behind at 1100 M, under pressure when tacking on 9Ls last at 600 M, never a factor.
11 11 SHINING DRAGON (CC181) S K Sit SR Pressed on to be 1L off pace and 2-wide at 1200 M, hard pressed to hold this position entering straight, soon faded.
12 8 BOBO DUCK (CA063) O Doleuze V Niggled along slightly to hold midfield position as early as 1100 M when 5Ls off pace, more pressure and similar spot 3-wide entering straight, gone quickly.
