1 2 BYRON (CD275) D Whyte -- Always travelled well within 3Ls of the speed with cover in 4th or so until home straight, lengthened nicely to lead 200 M, pushed clear for comfortable win.
2 4 OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) G Mosse B-/PC1 Nicely placed on fence early about 3Ls off pace in 5th, niggled along on circle to edge a little closer on straightening, stayed on well for 2nd but had little chance with the winner.
3 5 PICKETT (CG155) E Saint-Martin SR- In rear about 6Ls off pace early on, without much room when still about 5Ls behind turning for home, ran on strongly late for a place, nearest at finish.
4 10 DASHING WINNER (CA018) P H Lo SR/CO Slowest away, always hung out, 5Ls off pace early on, 6Ls back in 11th into straight, hung out towards stands' rail but still finished very strongly, might have placed if kept straight.
5 8 TAIJI SPIRIT (CD185) K T Yeung V/XB/TT Crowded at 800 M when 4Ls behind in 7th with cover, marginally closer turning for home, 2Ls down in 4th and with place chances at 200 M but did not follow through.
6 3 GAUCHO (CE033) K L Chui TT Always caught wide without cover, 3-wide within a neck of pace at 800 M, led by a neck turning for home, headed at the 200 M and one-paced in closing stages.
7 1 HELENE ELEGANCE (CB004) F Coetzee B-/PC2/TT Prominent position in 3rd within 1L of the speed until home straight when driven along, always outpaced by principals.
8 7 CLASSIC REUNION (CH166) D Nikolic -- Never better than midfield nor closer than 4Ls or so off the pace at any stage, hung out on the circle, 3-wide turning for home and well held.
9 9 TREASURE COLT (CE308) B Prebble -- Knuckled at the start, caught 4-wide no cover early on, 3Ls off pace with cover out 3-wide from 800 M to home turn, failed to quicken up and beaten over 200 M out.
10 11 MY LUCK (CE256) W M Lai -- Always in rear at least 6Ls off the speed, never really got on terms with principals.

12 6 DAV AND MING (CH055) S K Sit B Performance deemed unacceptable, always detached at least 5Ls off pace from the main body of the field, very poor.
