1 5 SALUT BEAUTE (CB189) K T Yeung TT Always close up, 1L back in 2nd at 800 M, disputing lead at top of home straight and went a neck up at 200 M, wandered a little under pressure but did just enough to hang on.
2 8 SMART FELLOW (CG031) F Coetzee SR-/TT2 Ideally placed on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th until home straight, 1L down in 3rd at the 200 M, had every chance to overhaul the winner but fell just short.
3 6 THUNDER FLASH (CG270) B Prebble -- Best away and 2Ls clear on fence as early as the 1000 M, joined by winner at top of homestretch, weakened in final 200 M but did enough to place.
4 12 CHOSEN ONE (CD347) Y T Cheng -- Covered up in 9th or 10th about 4Ls from the pace until homestretch, ran on fairly without seriously threatening a place.
5 13 FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) H K Yim -- 3-back on fence about 4Ls from the front in mid-division through to home straight, kept on at same pace.
6 14 LIBERAL'S RIDE (CG058) A Delpech -- 3-wide no cover at 800 M when 2Ls behind in 3rd, similarly placed on straightening, given every possible chance but weakened late. (Bled.)
7 4 FLYING KENNY (CC244) E Saint-Martin V Over-racing and keen when 4-wide no cover at 800 M and 3Ls back in 6th, never likely to take closer order from top of homestretch.
8 9 SOUTH BREEZE (CG241) G Mosse B1 Slowest away, sharing last place about 6Ls off speed until the 800 M, no closer turning for home, always well held and could only run past a few stragglers.
9 2 DR POSSI (CE288) D Whyte -- Had every chance with a 2-wide position and 3Ls back in 5th until home straight, weakened out disappointingly late.
10 10 BIG KAHUNA (CG177) O Doleuze -- Slow away but raced freely to soon sit in midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls from the lead, made no impression from top of home straight.
11 11 AS YOU WISH (CE290) H W Lai XB 4-back on fence and with head up early on, 5Ls back in 11th at 800 M, further back taking final bend, made no impact.
12 1 STRAIGHT VICTORY (CE328) W M Lai TT Fractious in gates, soon settled one from rear about 6Ls off speed, 7Ls behind in last taking home turn, faded out.
13 7 PLENTY OF TALENT (CE329) M Nunes -- Dropped in 3-wide with cover in midfield through first half, niggled along 5Ls off pace when 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, dropped out.
14 3 CHECK MATE (CC259) C K Tong BO Raced freely early on when about 5Ls off speed in rear bunch, soon well behind in straight, finished lame.
