1 | 1 | STRATEGUS (CC050) | F Coetzee | -- | Soon led but was 3-wide until finally crossing to fence about 900 M out, narrow lead off home turn, picked up to be 1L to the good 200 M out, kept on well. |
2 | 4 | AURELIAN (CC025) | D Whyte | -- | Raced 2-wide 5Ls off the speed 1000 M out, 3-wide and 3Ls off the lead at the home turn, 1L behind 200 M out, stayed on well enough but found winner much too good. |
3 | 2 | GLOBAL FORTUNE (CB422) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Caught 3 and 4-wide without cover about 4Ls off the pace down the back straight, 5-wide and 1L off the pace entering home straight, every chance 200 M out, one-paced close home. |
4 | 11 | TELECOM BABE (CA187) | M W Leung | V | Held up in rear early on, 8Ls off the pace 900 M out, 3-wide and 4Ls behind leader on the swing, ran on past several beaten rivals through closing stages. |
5 | 13 | ON SHAN EXPRESS (CB362) | D Dunn | BO | 3-wide and about 2Ls off the speed at the 900 M mark, raced freely 800 M out and was allowed to dispute lead out 2-wide from 600 M out to top of home straight, faded steadily. |
6 | 3 | LUCKY KING (CA304) | G Schofield | -- | On fence 4Ls off the pace at the 1000 M, 2-wide and 3Ls down entering home straight, 1L down and with good place prospects 200 M out, couldn't sustain effort. |
7 | 5 | FAST TRACK (CB375) | A Marcus | P | 2-wide and 4Ls off the pace 1200 M out, 4-wide into home straight when vying for lead, all out to be 1L down 200 M out, faded further. |
8 | 9 | OLIVE OR TWIST (CB271) | B Prebble | B | 3-wide and 6Ls off the speed from 1200 M out to the 600 M, 4-wide and 4Ls down entering straight, never threatened. |
9 | 14 | ABLE EAGLE (CB443) | M Walker | -- | Keen early on, 2-wide and 5Ls off the speed 800 M out, 2Ls down and 6-wide into homestretch, still 2Ls down 200 M out, weakened. |
10 | 12 | COSMO STAR (CA260) | H K Yim | TT | Raced close-up 2-wide and under 2Ls off the pace until home straight, began to weaken about 300 M out, eased down close home. |
11 | 6 | BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) | Y T Cheng | SR | Checked 1200 M out, on fence 7Ls off speed 1000 M out, 4Ls down at top of home straight, faded quickly. |
12 | 8 | GANBATTE (CB065) | M Cahill | V/TT | 1L off pace in 3rd place on fence from 1000 M out to 600 M, 2Ls down at top of straight, faded out rapidly. |
13 | 7 | BURST TO VICTORY (CC126) | C Williams | SR | Caught 3-wide towards rear about 7Ls off the speed 800 M out, driven along 600 M out, 6-wide into home straight when 5Ls down, soon with no chance. |
14 | 10 | WORK HARD (CC080) | S K Sit | -- | Always in rear, 2-wide and 7Ls off the pace at the 800 M, detached from main body of field and under pressure entering straight, never a factor. |
