1 4 CIRCULAR MACHINE (CG049) S Dye -- Worse than midfield 3-wide with cover about 5Ls off speed until final turn, finished off very strongly down centre of track to lead on line.
2 8 CAGA BOY (CG060) O Doleuze -- Raced inside winner in about 8th or 9th place and 5Ls behind leader until 800 M, moved closer 3Ls down in 6th turning for home, ran on well to lead 3 strides from line only to be headed just before the post.
3 5 CROWNED GEM (CE056) W C Marwing -- Led by a neck at 900 M, close up in 2nd on circle before leading again 300 M out, headed by GOLDEN WIN at 200 M but fought back in tight finish for a place.
4 6 SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) B Prebble B- Always 2-wide and 3Ls behind in mid-division until home turn, 2Ls down in 5th at 200 M, kept on finding but still couldn't place in very tight finish.
4 7 GOLDEN WIN (CE062) G Mosse SR- Disputed lead about 900 M out but settled 1L back in 3rd on circle, every chance when leading 200 M out, no extra inside final 50 M and just missed out on a place.
6 1 FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) D Whyte -- Away well, box run on fence about 2Ls off pace in 4th from back to home straight, stayed on well for strong pressure but marginally outfought late.
7 2 FLYING DAGGER (CG025) F Coetzee TT Best away and disputed early lead on fence, clear on circle by a neck but headed at top of home straight, barely outpaced by others on the run-in but still stuck to task quite well.
8 9 DOUBLE FANTASY (CG141) C Munce -- Towards rear at least 6Ls off the speed until turn, stayed on best of the rest (all very well beaten) but comprehensively outpaced by first 7 home.
9 11 ESPOIR D'OR (CE218) K L Chui B About 4Ls or 5Ls off pace on fence in 9th place or so through to final bend, plugged on at the same speed.
10 10 SO NICE (CG110) W M Lai -- Lost ground at start but recovered on fence to be 3Ls down in midfield at 800 M, hung out very badly on circle and totally lost position to be 7Ls down in 10th at top of stretch, unimpressive.
11 12 SUPER DRAGON (CE245) K S Yu V2 Always in rear bunch and at least 7Ls off the speed, never competitive.
12 14 SUNRISE STRIKER (CE278) C K Tong H Disputed early lead at 900 M out 3-wide no cover, still out wide when 2Ls down in 5th turning for home, soon weakened out.
13 3 HEALTHY (CE092) E Saint-Martin TT 3-wide with cover when 3Ls behind speed in 6th at the 800 M, lost position on the circle and 4Ls down in midfield off home turn, very weak thereafter. (Bled.)
14 13 DANSING FUN (CE202) D Dunn -- Switched from wide gate to rear but on fence about 8Ls off pace until halfway, never on terms and eased a long way out.
