1 | 6 | MEMBERS GLORY (CB325) | G Schofield | B | 6Ls off pace when 2-wide in 6th at 1400 M, headway to be 4-wide but 1L down in 3rd off home turn, bumped at 150 M when making more ground, stayed on well to lead final strides. |
2 | 1 | MILLION SUCCESS (CE158) | B Prebble | B-/V1 | Best away, 2-wide and 2Ls down in 3rd at 1400 M, 1L back in 2nd at 800 M and disputing the lead into homestretch, dug in well to lead at 150 M but headed final strides. |
3 | 13 | FORTUNE GOLD (CD343) | D Whyte | -- | 4Ls off pace when 2-wide in 4th at 1400 M, 3Ls back in 4th at 800 M, disputed lead on straightening and a neck in front at 300 M, headed 150 M out and wandered under pressure, no extra late. |
4 | 12 | DANSOLDE (CE157) | M Rodd | B | One from rear about 11Ls behind at 1400 M, closer 6Ls from the lead but 6-wide (widest of all) towards rear entering home straight, made some good late ground, nearest at finish. |
5 | 14 | BAUHINIA (CD118) | S Dye | B | 3-back on fencd about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed in 5th place until the 600 M, 2Ls down in 5th off final bend, one-paced from then on. |
6 | 4 | POSA (CE337) | C Brown | SR | On fence in 9th about 8Ls off speed at 1400 M, improved on circle to be about 4Ls back in mid-division at the 400 M, no further acceleration and always well held. |
7 | 7 | CLASSIC KING (CD256) | R Fradd | B/TT | In 8th place about 7Ls behind lead at 1400 M, under pressure at 800 M to take closer order and moved to 3Ls back in mid pack taking final bend, could only plug on at the one pace. |
8 | 8 | MAXIMUS (CD255) | Y T Cheng | B1 | 7Ls down on fence in 7th at 1400 M, improved to be 3Ls down in mid-division off home turn, disappointed for running at 200 M but much too one-paced and never likely to land a blow. |
9 | 10 | RISING WIN (CC089) | E Saint-Martin | V | Held an early lead but headed 1600 M out and settled 2Ls back in 2nd at 1400 M, 2Ls down in 3rd on fence at 800 M and same off home turn when under pressure, very one-paced. |
10 | 5 | SEA TREASURE (CD335) | F Coetzee | CP/TT | Never travelled well, worse than midfield when 8ls back at 1400 M, ridden along at 1000 M to get closer, all out when 5Ls behind in 10th at final bend, no impression. |
11 | 2 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | W M Lai | SR | Pressed on to lead by 2Ls on fence at 1400 M, headed at top of home straight, soon swamped. |
12 | 3 | SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) | A Delpech | V | 10Ls last at 1600 M, never got much closer. |
13 | 11 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | D Dunn | B | On fence 10Ls off speed in 12th at 1200 M, hard ridden to be 5Ls down in 12th at final bend, soon retreated further back. |
14 | 9 | X-SPEED (CC341) | M W Leung | -- | Checked at 1800 M, one from rear about 10Ls behind at 1400 M, never a factor. |
