1 3 SPOKESMAN (CD099) B Prebble -- 4Ls off pace in 8th at 1100 M when 2-wide, progress to be 2Ls down in 3rd taking final bend, led 100 M out, driven out.
2 5 RAIN IN SPRING (CC320) F Coetzee -- 5Ls back in 9th on fence at 1100 M, not much closer taking home turn, ran on very strongly late but line came just too soon.
3 8 FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) C Munce SR/TT Over-raced when 2-wide and 2Ls down in 5th at 1100 M, a neck down in 2nd at home turn, led 300 M out, grabbed by winner at the 100 M and just hung on for 3rd.
4 6 TIRAMISU (CB386) C K Tong V/TT Pressed on from wide gate to lead by 1L on fence at 1100 M, headed at 700 M and 2Ls down in 4th off final bend, one-paced but still nearly found a place.
5 11 PURPLE GOLD (CD249) D Dunn B Ideal position on fence 1L off pace in 3rd at 1100 M, shuffled back to 3Ls back in 5th taking home turn, 2Ls down at 200 M, kept on dourly to retrieve a little more ground.
6 2 MEATH (CE143) Y T Cheng B-/SR/V1 2-wide and 3Ls off speed 3-back on fence in 7th at 1100 M, 4Ls down in 8th or so entering home straight, plugged on fairly, hung in and proved difficult to ride final 200 M, never nearer.
7 4 RAINBOW DIAMOND (CD183) R Fradd CP Slowest away and soon 8Ls behind in rear, marginally closer taking home turn, made up some late ground but never troubled principals.
8 9 NICKU NICKU (CC372) G Mosse SR Prominent but caught 3-wide no cover at 1200 M, sent on to lead out 2-wide by 1L at 700 M, a neck clear on fence taking final bend, one-paced.
9 10 SPARKLE (CB406) H W Lai V Always towards rear at least 5Ls off the pace from 1100 M to home straight, found nothing off the bit.
10 7 CENAMIRA (CD129) K S Yu -- Hampered at 1000 M when 2nd last about 6Ls behind the speed, 7Ls last into homestretch, never got involved.
11 12 MAIN ATTRACTION (CB218) W M Lai -- 3-wide with cover and 3Ls behind leader in 6th at 1100 M, left 4-wide no cover at 800 M in 7th, struggling to lie up turning for home and 4Ls behind, weakened out late.
12 1 DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) K T Yeung -- A neck down in 2nd out 2-wide at 1100 M, steadily lost position and was under pressure when 4Ls down in midfield swinging for home, very weak in the finish.
