1 11 BEST NOODLE (CJ278) M W Leung TT Box-seated in 3rd on fence through to last turn, picked up well to lead 150 M out, driven out.
2 4 SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) D Beadman -- Settled in 8th about 7Ls from lead at 1000 M and marginally closer off last bend, ran on well down the centre for a clear 2nd.
3 1 FIRST BABY (CG170) K C Leung P 2-wide and 6Ls or so back in 7th at 1200 M and similar on straightening, finished off well enough to place.
4 12 FORTUNE DRAGON (CH324) M L Yeung B/TT Briefly without cover initially, gained cover about 1100 M out, when 5th, in 4th and 4Ls back off last bend, had his chance to place.
5 3 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) D Whyte B In 4th or so 3-back the rails about 4Ls from the speed through to straightening, had his chance to place, lacking a turn of foot.
6 7 LUCKY MONEY (CE159) O Doleuze V2 Soon led on fence by 1L, kicked on to be over 2Ls to the good taking last bend, headed about 150 M out and faded out of the money.
7 5 OASIS DAVIS (CK138) B Doyle SR 5-back on the rails about 8Ls off pace in 9th at 1000 M, marginally closer taking final bend, recovered some minor late ground.
8 9 LIVERBIRD (CE055) B Prebble B 4-back the rails in 7th about 6Ls from early tempo, ridden along to try and make an impact before last curve, always outpaced.
9 10 PERFECT MATCH (CJ072) W M Lai -- Always worse than midfield and at least 8Ls from the speed until last bend when pressured, very one-paced.
10 8 GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) G Cheyne CP Went back from wide gate, more than 10Ls behind speed before last bend, never really in the hunt.
11 2 BREAKING POINT (CJ179) Z Purton -- Bounded at start and keen when one from rear at the 1000 M, 8Ls behind leader on straightening, never on terms.
12 6 GOLD CITY (CJ322) J Winks B1 Went forward and 1L back in 2nd at the 1000 M, hard pressed to remain in touch cornering for home, emptied out, eased down final 200 M.
