1 5 LEGEND (CK042) B Prebble -- 3-back the fence 4Ls off pace in midfield down back straight, still 3Ls down at the 200 M, finished off strongly to lead 50 M out and kept on.
2 7 MARVELLOUS (CH026) D Beadman V/TT Box-seated on rails in 2nd at halfway, 1L back in 2nd at the 200 M, headed by winner 50 M out as soon as he overhauled the long-time leader, clear 2nd.
3 4 CHINA HERO (CH040) K C Leung B Best out and led by 1L on fence at the 1000 M, clear by between 1L and 2Ls before being headed inside final 100 M, had to settle for 3rd.
4 3 DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) M Chadwick H/TT1 3-wide no cover early on, pressed on to race 2Ls back in 2nd at 800 M, further back in 3rd and pressured turning in, one-paced to wind up.
5 2 CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) W M Lai BO 2-wide and back in 8th about 5Ls off early speed, about 6Ls down entering home straight, recovered some fair late ground to 5th.
6 8 O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) J Winks TT Nicely placed in 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th down the back, slipped further back on the circle, couldn't quite recover lost ground in straight.
7 6 STEEL NERVES (CG320) D Whyte B In 5th or 6th between 3Ls and 5Ls from the pace through to final bend, stayed on okay without troubling the principals.
8 9 KING CREOLE (CG287) M Du Plessis TT Taken back from wide gate, 7Ls back in 9th turning for home, never really landed a blow.
9 10 BERNINI (CJ168) M W Leung -- Slow out again, 4-back on the rails down the back, hard ridden and 6Ls down in 8th off last turn, one-paced.
10 1 TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) Z Purton -- Eased back from barrier 9, 10Ls last at the 600 M, always giving away too much ground to get seriously involved.
11 11 SO PRETTY SO SMART (CK063) C K Tong -- 3-wide no cover down the back straight in rear, always going to struggle given his limitations and being so wide and far back.
12 12 SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) J Lloyd H/TT Slowest out, at least 7Ls from the speed throughout in rear.
