1 | 4 | COPARTNER AMBITION (E218) | H Bowman | B/TT | Jumped on terms and maintained a midfield position just over 4Ls back, let down strongly final 200M, stretched clear late for comfortable win. |
2 | 5 | CELESTIAL COLOURS (H362) | L Hewitson | B/TT | From wide draw fast into stride and took up the running led by 1L on settling, kept battling away passing 300M but couldn't hold off the determined winner inside 100M. |
3 | 8 | A AMERIC TE SPECSO (H037) | A Atzeni | B1 | Jumped only fairly, settled towards the rear, maintained his spot to the bend 6-7Ls off the pace, closed off nicely to go 3rd near 50M. |
4 | 6 | NEVER TOO SOON (E434) | K De Melo | -- | Restrained to a midfield position 5Ls off leader, brought wide into straight making solid inroads, got up for 4th close home. |
5 | 3 | BRAVE STAR (G268) | C Y Ho | XB | Stalked the leader into the straight, fought hard to stay in contention from 300M, tired 150M and was overwhelmed in closing stages. |
6 | 7 | EXCELLENT PEERS (G033) | M Chadwick | H/XB | Dropped back to race towards the rear, had big task at 400M 8Ls to make up, passed a few but never likely to feature. |

8 | 2 | ATOMIC FORCE (G221) | H Bentley | H/XB | From wide draw shifted across behind runners, held up behind midfield 6Ls away , found little from 300M when it mattered. |
9 | 9 | HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) | A Badel | TT | Made some use early stages to hold a forward position just off leaders, chased fairly early straight, kept on one pace over the final 150M. Ran below expectations. |
10 | 12 | YOU'REMYEVERYTHING (E413) | Y L Chung | B1/TT | Settled down behind mid-division along the inside, couldn't quicken enough passing 300M,. Never a threat to leaders. |
11 | 1 | GRATEFUL HEART (D278) | C L Chau | B/TT | From wide draw switched off to race in last, lacked a kick in the straight, never a winning hope. |
12 | 10 | CALIFORNIA CIBLE (E431) | B Avdulla | TT | Began well, restrained to race ahead of midfield, failed to run on in the straight, dropped out. (Lame next day.) |
