1 14 MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) A Delpech PC/TT Slow into stride, soon at rear, raced 10Ls back off rails throughout, appreciated even speed and not harmed tracking wide on bend, came 5-wide into the straight and closed hard last 300 M to claim them and score nicely.
2 6 GLOBAL WIN (CG109) E Saint-Martin B Fast into stride, pressed on from an awkward alley but posted wide, always working 4-wide without cover in midfield 4-5Ls back, continued to improve on bend, hit lead with strong run at 250 M, run ended late but kept on well.
3 9 SUMMERVILLE POWER (CD398) H W Lai CP Amongst first few to begin, pressed on to take closer order, raced 3-wide outside of leader without cover, did share of work to bend, surged to front turning in but just lacked a dash to go with first two late.
4 7 AQUA-TREASURE (CE185) O Doleuze B-/PC2 Away with them, showed customary pace to settle outside of leader, didn't have easy time with pressure from outside horse, still at leaders girth turning in, kept to task and in mix until 200 M but just peaked on run thereafter.
5 5 PACKING ANGEL (CB223) D Whyte P Began with field, unable to slot in and ended up in midfield 3-wide with cover, had good trail 5Ls away throughout, improved amongst horses turning in, finished off evenly when clear.
6 3 LUCKY CHAMPION (CD178) F Coetzee -- Moderate to begin, didn't display a lot of dash, positioned behind midfield 2-wide 6Ls away throughout, well back in traffic on turning in, didn't get much of a crack at them in straight but closed evenly when clear last 200 M.
7 10 ROYAL FALCON (CE091) B Prebble B/TT Nicely into stride, prominent early and held down prime 1 out 1 back position 2Ls away, had easy time throughout, close enough on bend, had chance in straight and there until 200 M but couldn't find extra over last furlong.
8 11 TOP HONOR (CE183) G Mosse -- Out with field, didn't have much pace, ended up behind midfield but forced 3-wide throughout, had cover 6Ls back to bend, had job to do on turning, made a little ground but was one-paced in run to line.
9 8 WADADELIGHT (CC340) A Starke B Jumped well enough but elected to take a trail, raced 3-wide with cover 2Ls back, covered ground but not harmed by this and right there on bend, lacked usual finish last 300 M and just battled in run to line.
10 12 CALIFORNIA HEART (CE078) K L Chui B/XB/TT Amongst first few to leave gates, took up running and kept them rolling with pressure applied, held a 1/2L advantage on turning, couldn't really answer when challenged again at 300 M and dropped out last 200 M after early work.
11 1 CONGRATS (CG298) D Nikolic SR Awkwardly away, regathered to settle in midfield 2-wide 5Ls back, had easy trip spending little in mid-section, niggled along between horses on bend, didn't find much on turning and only battled to line.
12 2 SUPER WONGCHOY (CB318) Y T Cheng -- Reasonable beginning, had enough pace to hold the leaders back, sat 2Ls back on rails with run of race throughout, niggled along on turning in, didn't finish off as normally would and weakened last 300 M.
13 13 JUBILOSO (CD381) W M Lai B Ordinary break, restrained to tail of field, pushed up to be 7Ls away on rails, had easy time doing little work in the run, well back and urged along on turning in, made no impression in straight.
14 4 MULTI MILLIONS (CD207) C K Tong SR Began with field but took hold to race towards rear, raced 10Ls back on the rails, never really handled track and was travelling poorly on the bend. Lost further ground in the straight to be well beaten.
