1 5 LU YUE (CH278) Y T Cheng B/H Led out 2-wide before crossing to fence 1300 M out, clear by 1L until the 200 M, found plenty for pressure and always holding a margin.
2 2 EVER BRIGHT (CG223) B Prebble B1 Slowly away, 4Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at 1200 M, closer and challenging in 3rd at top of straight, couldn't get to the winner but did well to hold 2nd.
3 10 SOUTH BREEZE (CG241) D Whyte -- 6Ls back on fence in 7th at 1200 M, about 4Ls down in 7th off last bend, ran on well for a place but ran out of ground in trying to figure in the quinella.
4 6 ALBERTINELLI (CH111) M Nunes -- Mostly 2nd out 2-wide and 1L behind through to home straight, briefly upsides 300 M out but one-paced inside final furlong and missed the money.
5 1 FAMOUS DANCER (CD353) D Beadman XB/H Slowly away, on fence back in 9th at 1000 M, 5Ls back at top of stretch when a little short of room, chased on well, never nearer.
6 7 GO JOHNNY GO (CG290) H W Lai B/XB Box-seated in 3rd or 4th about 2Ls from the front from 1200 M to entering the straight, had his chance but lacked the acceleration.
7 12 MAN IN THE MIRROR (CH058) M Du Plessis -- 8Ls behind in 10th out 2-wide at 1000 M, about 5Ls back swinging for home, couldn't draw any closer.
8 11 INFINITE DELIGHT (CG314) W M Lai B/TT 3Ls back in 5th on fence at 1200 M, niggled along to maintain this proximity off last turn, faded out gradually.
9 4 LUCKYME (CH012) F Coetzee TT Couldn't lead as usual and instead caught 3-wide no cover about 2Ls back in 3rd through to the 600 M, under pressure turning in and gave ground steadily.
10 8 NORTHERNER (CD293) M W Leung XB 10Ls back in 11th on fence at 1000 M, 6Ls down in 10th and hard ridden at top of straight, made no impact and eased down late.
11 3 HAIL THE STORM (CE125) K L Chui B 10Ls last out 2-wide at the 1000 M, checked 600 M out and struggling in rear turning for home, well beaten.
PU 9 SOCRATES (CD336) G Mosse TT 6Ls and 2-wide in 8th at 1100 M, broke down 600 M out and pulled up immediately.
