1 9 BUDDIES SPIRIT (CD042) C Munce P- Led by 1L on fence from 800 M to top of home straight, picked up well to go 2Ls clear passing 200 M, always in command.
2 2 BALL OF FIRE (CD020) H K Yim V Settled one from rear about 6Ls off pace down the back stretch, 4Ls down in 8th entering straight and same passing 200 M, ran on quite well late to go into 2nd place 30 M out.
3 8 CONSTELLATION (CE025) C Soumillon B Slowly away but quickly recovered to be about 2Ls off pace in 3rd or so through to home turn despite becoming unbalanced 500 M, clear 2nd about 2Ls down at 200 M, lost 2nd final 30 M.
4 7 TURF GOLD (CD342) H W Lai B 5Ls off pace in 10th at the 800 M, ridden along in 11th when still 5Ls back, ran on fairly well past several one-paced rivals to be nearest at the finish.
5 11 THE FACULTY (CB414) F Coetzee CO-/BO1/TT- Mostly 3-wide but with cover about 2Ls off the speed in 4th until home straight entrance, 3Ls back in 3rd at the 200 M, kept on at same pace.
6 5 WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) B Prebble B Best away from widest gate but opted to settle 3-wide with cover about 3Ls off pace in mid-div through to final bend, one-paced thereafter.
7 4 ABLE MARS (CC273) O Doleuze B 3-back on fence in or around midfield about 3Ls behind leader until home straight, plugged on modestly.
8 6 FORTUNE MAPLE (CA385) E Saint-Martin B/SR 2-wide about 3Ls behind leader in midfield right through to homestretch, always outpaced by principals.
9 3 SUPER (CD036) G Schofield SR/CO 2-wide and 1L off pace in 2nd at the 800 M, struggling to preserve this prominent position off final bend, hindered when swamped over 200 M out.
10 12 SUPER WINNER (CD062) S K Sit H-/B2/SR2 Slowly away, hard ridden and 10Ls last as early as 1000 M out, always detached, poor effort.
11 10 BRAINIEST (CD345) M W Leung P-/B2 2-wide when keen and racing ungenerously at 800 M about 4Ls off pace in 9th, a little further back when 5-wide turning for home, soon well beaten, very weak effort.
12 1 SUPER MARKSMAN (CC121) Y T Cheng V/TT Always 4-wide no cover, about 1L or so off pace in 4th or 5th until the 600 M, hung out badly on the circle and 6-wide (widest) when 5Ls back in 10th into stretch, soon tailed off.
