1 13 NEW PLANET (CA037) H K Yim B Raced on inside 2-3Ls off pace early on in 4th or 5th place, went for home over 300 M out to grab lead with 200 M to race, stayed on well.
2 7 ASPIRATION (BP003) J Egan -- Settled in mid-division racing two wide never worse than 4Ls off speed, big effort 400 M out to go with leading pack, got within a neck of NEW PLANET over 100 M out but offered no extra, just held on for runners-up spot.
3 12 VICTORY DRUM (BT006) D Whyte B Raced two wide about 5Ls off pace until 400 M from line, delivered strong finish on outside down straight, just failed to peg back leaders.
4 10 TOP LIGHT (BP219) W Woods B Impeded at start and slowly away, 7Ls off pace 800 M out, travelling well in rear entering straight, quickened up in good style but fell just short of grabbing leaders.
5 9 GOOD FIT (BT198) S King -- Quietly ridden in rear on inside rail 6Ls off pace until entering straight when asked to lengthen, still 2.5Ls off pace 200 M out, finished well but failed to grab leaders.
6 4 TURBOJET (BT277) F Coetzee B-/TT Had run of the race in 2nd place on inside, effort at top of straight, briefly hit front over 200 M out but one-paced and soon passed.
7 8 EXCEL KID (BN168) E Saint-Martin B Three wide and in 6th early before being rushed up to take 2nd 1000 M out without cover, under pressure entering straight, not come on.
8 2 TEMMOKU (BV108) T Culhane -- Held rails position inside ASPIRATION until straight, showed little worthwhile acceleration, beaten over 200 M out.
9 11 BILLION DELIGHT (BP086) S Baster B Always last over 7Ls off pace until straight, tried to make up some ground from 400 M out but never looked like getting on terms with principals.
10 3 ROYAL PARTNER (CA237) M W Leung B Awkwardly into stride, raced three wide about 5Ls off leaders until straight, failed to quicken, never threatened.
11 14 GOOD MAN (CA001) K H Ting B1 Ridden to lead from gates, pinched 2.5Ls lead turning into straight, overhauled 250 M out, quickly faded.
