1 4 MASTERY (CC176) O Doleuze TT 3-back on fence in 6th about 4Ls back at halfway, closer when 4-wide turning for home in 5th, stayed on well to join VIVA FIGHTER on line.
1 6 VIVA FIGHTER (CG307) B Prebble B/TT Midfield early, hung out at halfway, made a forward move to lead by a neck 500 M out, kept on gamely, joined by MASTERY on the wire.
3 8 PRIME TARGET (CH242) G Boss -- 4Ls back in mid-division in middle stages, pressed forward on the circle to be a neck down off final bend, had his chance to win but outpaced final 200 M.
4 12 NASA PEARL (CC068) E Wilson -- 2-wide in 7th about 4Ls or 5Ls down through to final bend, ran on okay but he just lacked the dash of the leading trio.
5 11 SILVER MARK (CE226) W M Lai V/TT Worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the pace until straightening, remained a good distance from the firing line.
6 7 REAL SPECIAL (CH320) F Coetzee B/XB 1L back in 2nd at the 1000 M, tended to over-race, unbalanced 600 M out, 4th but still close-up turning in, hung in and soon beaten.
7 2 FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) Y T Cheng B 4-back on fence in 8th about 5Ls or 6Ls from the speed from 1200 M to final bend, always well outpaced.
8 10 AMSTERDAM (CE140) D Beadman XB/H/TT 8Ls back in 10th at 1200 M, marginally closer swinging for homestretch, never likely to make an impact. (Lost plate.)
9 5 ELECTRONICS SPUR (CE285) K L Chui XB/TT 9Ls back in 11th early on and still one from rear off last turn, very one-paced.
10 3 I'M NO SQUARE (CG078) C K Tong TT Restrained in rear between 8Ls and 10Ls from speed until home turn, found no room until inside the 200 M, never got a proper crack at them.
11 1 FANTASTIC DANCER (CJ001) M Nunes B Led early on before ceding the advantage 1100 M out, box-seated down backstretch but was left behind when tempo quickened 600 M out.
12 9 WARM EMBRACES (CJ162) M W Leung -- Pressed on out 3-wide no cover to lead on fence by 1L at the 1000 M, headed 500 M out and dropped out from the top of the home straight.
