1 14 POCKET MONEY (CE253) F Coetzee B Always midfield 2-wide with cover about 3Ls back until home turn, got clear at 300 M and quickened well to lead 150 M out, soon well in command.
2 5 EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) E Saint-Martin -- Away well and soon led by 1L on fence, clear by similar margin until the 200 M but headed about 50 M later, comfortably held onto 2nd.
3 4 WHATABOB (CD213) O Doleuze B/XB Crowded at start, nicely placed on fence in 4th about 2Ls back until home straight when driven along to improve, stayed on fairly well and nosed into 3rd on the line.
4 10 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) S Dye -- No worse than 1.5Ls back in 2nd or 3rd until home turn, all out to improve when same margin back in 3rd at 200 M, no extra late and lost 3rd on the line.
5 12 EQUATOR KID (CC134) S K Sit -- Awkward break and soon 8Ls off pace in rear, about 5Ls back in 13th off final turn, stayed on past several beaten rivals late.
6 9 SIR GALAHAD (CG272) A Delpech -- On fence about 4Ls back in 8th or so until home turn when a little tight for room, soon clear but never really threatened.
7 8 GREAT GUY (CH112) K L Chui TT Always close up, no worse than 2Ls off pace until home straight in 3rd or so, failed to accelerate and well held final 200 M.

10 3 ALBERTINELLI (CH111) E Legrix -- 5-wide without cover early on, relegated to last at 1000 M, 4-wide and 6Ls down on straightening, posed no danger at all.
11 2 GALLANT LION (CG243) C K Tong XB-/B1 Midfield with cover about 3Ls back until the 600 M, hard ridden to lie up entering homestretch, beaten over 200 M out.
12 1 TOWERING FEELING (CG262) D Whyte -- Caughjt 4-wide without cover down the backstretch about 4Ls back in 9th or 10th, gained cover on the circle but further back taking home turn, no impression, unacceptable display.
