1 5 TOM'S FIRST (CA354) D Dunn SR Settled in rear 9Ls off pace at 1000 M, at least 7Ls down and 5-wide entering straight, headed for better ground along stand's side, 2Ls 2nd and gaining 200 M out, led 50 M out, kept on.
2 14 BRAVE KNIGHT (CC131) Y T Cheng TT 3-wide but with cover when 5Ls off pace in 10th at the 1000 M, 5-wide into home straight when 5Ls down, headed towards stand's rail for better ground, ran on well to nick 2nd place on line.
3 12 SUPER SPRINT (CA274) R Fradd V Beat away, pressed on to lead out 2-wide by 1L at 900 M, fly-leapt 600 M out, 2Ls to the good entering straight and going well, still 2Ls clear 200 M out, collared 50 M out and lost 2nd late on.
4 11 MY FAVOURITE (CA125) S Dye -- Always deep on track, 5-wide without cover 900 M out and towards rear, 5-wide on straightening when 6Ls down, veered to stand's rail for better ground, ran on well, nearest at finish. (Bled.)
5 2 ROYAL ARMY (CB103) C Williams SR 3-wide with cover and 6Ls off pace in 12th at 1000 M and similarly placed entering stretch, ran on fairly well nearer the stand's rail without threatening principals.
6 3 DILIGENT (CC285) A Delpech -- 3-wide and 4Ls off speed in 6th at 1000 M, checked at 800 M and knocked back to 6Ls off pace in 9th, 4Ls down and 4-wide on turn for home, always outpaced finishing off down centre of track.
7 6 LOYAL DEVOTION (BV075) T Mundry -- Caught 4-wide without cover 4Ls off pace in 5th at the 1000 M, 3Ls down and 4-wide into home straight when in 4th place, much too one-paced thereafter.
8 8 TOY QUEST (CC036) A Marcus V Slowly away, checked at the 1000 M when on fence and 4Ls off pace in midfield, 5Ls down at 600 M and entering straight, very one-paced and no threat.
9 10 ABORIGINAL (CC284) W C Marwing -- Keen early on, 2-wide and 5Ls off pace in 9th at 1000 M, 6Ls down and towards rear entering straight, no impression.
10 1 NOBLE FALCON (CC035) D Whyte -- Prominent racing 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in 3rd at 1000 M, 2Ls 2nd and niggled along entering straight, failed to pick up and beaten over 200 M out.
11 7 ALL THE BEST (BV211) J Quinn B/TT Had a nice spot on fence and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1000 M, switched out 2-wide and 4Ls down in 5th turning for home, found nothing under pressure.
12 4 LUCKY STALLION (CA249) M W Leung B/TT Checked at 1200 M and knocked back to 6Ls off pace in 11th place at 1000 M when 2-wide, no better off and 3-wide on straightening, never a factor.
13 13 GOOD FRIENDS (BV213) K C Tsang SR Led out 2-wide at 1200 M, onto fence at 1000 M, headed 900 M out, 3Ls down and struggling to hold position entering straight, quickly faded.
14 9 BEST FOR ALL (CB040) G Schofield SR 2-wide and 4Ls behind leader in midfield at 1000 M, under pressure to lie up turning for home, retreated rapidly.
