1 12 KUNG FU (CE289) G Boss P/H Pushed to share the lead, used up lots of fuel in the fast early sectionals, kicked away 400 M and won impressively despite the negative racing situations.
2 7 GLENEALY STAR (CH284) Y T Cheng -- Hard ridden to hold the rail and shared the lead, harmed by the fast pace, ran on strongly to the line to secure 2nd.
3 9 ALL TIME HIGH (CG285) K L Chui CP/XB/TT Hard ridden early but failed to muster speed, behind midfield, 8Ls off the leaders 2 to 4-wide, benefited by the fast tempo, made ground steadily 400 M to grab 3rd.

5 11 MANY GAINS (CJ051) D Whyte -- Pushed early but not quick enough to take a forward spot, 6Ls off the leaders 3-wide, benefited by the fast pace, made ground 400 M without threats, run ended 100 M.
6 14 BUCCANEER (CH214) M Du Plessis -- Eased back, 10Ls off the leaders 2-wide, helped by the fast pace, swept 5-wide on straightening to make run, progressed steadily 300 M.
7 1 KING PRAWN SUPREME (CJ076) F Coetzee B Settled 2-1/2Ls off the leaders 2-wide, not suited by the fast early sectionals, ran on until 100 M flattened.
8 13 NORDIC STAR (CH302) H W Lai TT Slow away, eased to sit at rear, more than 11Ls off the leaders 2 to 4-wide, benefited by the fast early tempo, made some ground last 300 M.
9 10 DRAGON EYE (CJ127) Z Purton TT Slowly away, eased to sit about midfield along the fence, 6Ls behind the leaders, helped by the fast tempo, blocked 400 M to 200 M, just held ground when clear.
