1 4 VOILE ROUGE (M343) D Whyte B/TT Broke well, took up ideal position behind leader, shifted 1 off on circle, joined in approaching 300m and went clear, held a margin to score with some ease.
2 10 GROOVY (L401) Y T Cheng -- Slotted into nice spot 1 out 1 back 2Ls off speed, fair run although pushed 3 wide from 500m, went with eventual winner but was safely held final 200m.
3 2 BUBBLE CHIC (N369) W C Marwing -- Taken back from a tricky gate, 8-9Ls back in running line, didn't settle but steadily crept closer on bend, made up good ground in straight doing best work late to take a placing.
4 8 KEEN WONGCHOY (L223) A Suborics B/H/TT Taken down to rear from a wide all, raced nearly 10Ls back on rails and was difficult to settle, took inside run turning, closed off ok along inside to make frame.
5 9 FLEET COMMAND (CK077) M Chadwick B Went forward and ended up outside leader in unfamiliar role, raced keenly applying pressure to leader, headed passing 300m but stuck on ok and just lost spot in frame late.
6 1 MAJESTIC FALCON (M236) O Doleuze H Landed a midfield role on rails, 5Ls back, not exerted in middle stages, made run between runners and made some progress in straight to be nearest on line.
7 7 KYARA (L423) W M Lai H/XB Ended up 3 wide without cover just off midfield, 7Ls or so away in run, improved approaching bend, made some progress in straight despite hard run, never really looked likely.
8 6 PRESIDENT LINCOLN (N267) Z Purton TT Took a spot not far off pace, 4-5Ls back in running line, no excuses to bend, switched out to make a run but no extra last 300m and just kept on at same speed.
9 14 BRIGHT STAR (N387) C K Tong -- Slow away, drove up into midfield spot 5-6Ls away in two wide line, fair run in midsection, nothing extra at business end producing a one paced finish.
10 5 MR BOND (M098) T H So -- Taken back from a wide gate, raced at rear 10Ls or so back, set task with plenty to pass turning, made some minor ground late.
11 12 GOLD BALL (N185) H W Lai TT Showed good speed to take up running, set an even tempo with pressure from outside horse, lost advantage at 400m, compounded tamely.
12 3 NOBLE ALPHA (M339) B Prebble -- Ended up 3 wide behind midfield around 8Ls or so back, checked at 1200m, still gave a big start turning, disappointing effort in straight making no real progress.
13 13 IMPERIAL ROME (N012) R Fourie TT Allowed to drop back from a wide gate, drove through on rails to be 7Ls or so back just behind midfield, cheap trip to bend, offered little in straight.
14 11 EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) K C Leung H/CP Ended up 3-4Ls back on rails, fair run to turn but soon struggling, dropped out easily and beaten a long way.
