1 13 MEDIC LEGION (CE162) A Delpech -- Coldly ridden 7Ls off pace in 13th early, improved on circle but turned for home 5-wide (widest of all), picked up nicely to lead 50 M out, ran on.
2 1 BYRON (CD275) O Doleuze -- 3-wide with cover in midfield about 4Ls behind at halfway, closer on straightening and led over 200 M out, collared by winner at 50 M, no extra.
3 8 SOHNA (CG183) D Whyte -- Travelled well 2-wide and 3Ls off pace at 1000 M in 6th or so, 2Ls down in 5th off final bend, had every chance but failed to sustain effort inside final 200 M.
4 14 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) C W Wong -- Broke best and pressed on out wide to lead on fence at 800 M, headed at the 200 M and weakened to miss a place.
5 11 FAST TRACK (CB375) D Nikolic B Worse than midfield about 6Ls from the pace at 1000 M, 3Ls back and 4-wide taking home turn, place prospects when 1L down at 200 M but failed to follow through.
6 7 NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) B Prebble -- Settled on fence towards rear about 6Ls behind early speed, 4Ls off pace and 3-wide entering home straight, tended to hang in under pressure and lacked the kick of principals.
7 6 ZONUS (CE149) M Nunes CP-/TT1 Awkward break, with cover and 5Ls off pace at halfway, 4Ls down turning for home, one-paced and always booked for a mid-division finish.
8 5 LIFELINE PEGASUS (CH067) F Coetzee -- Slow to start but soon recovered to be 2Ls off pace in the box-seat position, 1L down in 3rd turning for home, faded steadily.
9 9 BRAVE COMMANDER (CC322) K L Chui TT Prominent early and caught 3-wide no-cover when 2Ls back in 4th at 800 M, pressed forward to be 1L back in 2nd entering homestretch, soon petered out.
10 2 CAGA BOY (CG060) Y T Cheng B 4-back on fence in midfield about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, ridden to take closer order on straightening, always comfortably held.
11 10 DEVON FLAIR (CD240) H W Lai V Bounded at start, raced 2 and 3-wide but always had cover in midfield or better, 2Ls down in 4th taking home turn, faded out.
12 12 LUCKY CORDELIA (CD088) W M Lai -- Always in rear, 9Ls last 1000 M, 5Ls last entering homestretch, never competitive.
13 4 AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) H K Yim B Nicely placed 3-back on fence at 1000 M over 2Ls off pace, niggled along to keep up on circle, folded tamely from top of home straight.
14 3 WINNING PATTERN (CG125) R Fradd -- Went forward early, 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 900 M, 2Ls down in 4th entering home straight, dropped right out.
