1 8 WISE CHOICE (CB297) E Saint-Martin -- Always 4 and 5-wide without cover down backstretch and 4Ls off pace, 6-wide turning for home but quickened up to be a neck 200 M out, led about 100 M out and asserted close home.
2 2 WINWIN COMBO (CB277) M Cahill -- Covered up 2-wide and 3Ls or 4Ls off lead through to home straight, picked up well to lead approaching 200 M, grabbed by winner about 150 M out, no extra.
3 1 NAMJONG SPIRIT (BV183) S Dye -- Had the run of the race on the fence 2Ls off lead through to stretch but always tended to over-race a bit, disputing lead and with every chance 300 M out, no extra final stages.
4 3 STOIC (BT155) G Mosse B Travelled well 3Ls or 4Ls off pace on fence until home turn, finished off along inisde but never looked like threatening principals.
5 14 LION ROCK (CA224) W M Lai -- Caught 4-wide without cover about 3Ls off speed 800 M out, turned for home racing 5-wide, 1L off pace 200 M out and kept on at same pace to line.
6 9 EARL GREY (CA251) G Schofield B Tucked in 2-wide and about 3Ls off pace through to home straight when travelling well, didn't have a clear run until 200 M out, finished off fairly well but too late.
7 12 QUICK STEP (CA074) W C Marwing -- Always about 4-wide and 5Ls off leaders and one from rear down backstretch, 7-wide into homestretch, 3Ls down 200 M out, one-paced to line.
8 6 SALUZI (CB147) E Legrix B1 Held up towards rear about 5Ls off pace and 3-wide before being steadied 800 M out, travelled well turning for home, no clear run until 200 M out when switched out wider, too late.
9 5 MASTER MAGIC (BP193) A Marcus -- Never worse than 3-wide and 2Ls or 3Ls off pace through to home straight, right there and with every chance 300 M out, 1L down 200 M out, weakened further.
10 4 SUCCESSFUL SPIRIT (BV226) F Coetzee B/TT Checked on exiting gates, remained 3-wide and 4Ls off pace until homestretch, rather one-paced on run-in.
11 7 SAMMY TREASURE (CA324) R Quinn B 2-wide 1L off leader in 2nd position from 1200 M out to top of stretch, swamped and beaten well over 300 M out.
11 13 PRINCELY HORSE (CB027) M W Leung SR-/B1 Awkwardly away and forced to race without cover out 6-wide down the back and 6Ls off pace, extremely wide (8-wide) turning for home, no hope thereafter.
13 11 KING'S PATROL (CB097) K H Ting -- Tracked leading pair out 3-wide and about 2Ls behind, under pressure on straightening and quickly dropped right out of it.
14 10 PO ON WIN (CA282) D Dunn SR/V Led on fence by 1L 1200 M out, still leading by half a length on straightening, very quickly swamped and beaten over 300 M out.
