1 3 BUMPER BUMPER (CD025) S Dye -- 3-wide without cover in 4th when 2Ls off pace at 1000 M, still out 3-wide and no cover disputing the lead off home turn, led 300 M out, kept on gamely under pressure.
2 10 MY CHOICE (CC283) G Schofield SR 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 5th at 1000 M and had a nice similar trail through to homestretch, 1L down in 3rd at the 200 M, half a length down in 2nd at 200 M, no extra close home.
3 6 VENGEANCE OF RAIN (CD142) T Mundry SR-/TT1 Slowest away, 10Ls behind leader in 12th at 1000 M out, 6Ls behind in rear off home turn, still about 4Ls down at 200 M in midfield, ran on very strongly late to nick place.
4 9 KINGFIELD (CD215) J Holder B 6Ls off speed when 2-wide in 9th at 1000 M, 3-wide with cover at 800 M, 3Ls behind in midfield off home turn, strong on frame.
5 2 DAVE'S BEST (CC060) D Whyte -- 3-wide with cover when 5Ls off pace in 7th at 1000 M, 1L down in 4th off home turn, every chance 200 M out when a neck 2nd, grabbed by chasing pack final strides.
6 8 DENDRANTHEMA LOVE (CD073) H K Yim -- 12Ls last on fence in 14th at the 1000 M, 5-wide (widest of all) on straightening when 6Ls last, ran on strongly to be nearest at the finish.
7 1 GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) P H Lo -- On fence 6Ls behind in 8th at 1000 M, 2-wide and 4Ls behind in midfield off home turn and same at 200 M, always looked held by leaders but short of room final 50 M and not ridden out.
8 4 SPARKLING STAR (CD055) S K Sit B One from rear when 10Ls off pace and 2-wide at 1000 M, still towards rear when 5Ls down and 4-wide off home turn, made some nice late ground but didn't trouble leaders.
9 7 CHIU CHOW BROTHER (CA216) W M Lai -- Slowly away, on fence 8Ls off the speed in 10th at 1000 M, about 5Ls down in 10th off home turn, disappointed for running 200 M out and though he ran on fairly he was always outpaced.
10 12 CALIFORNIA BISHOP (CD351) R Fradd -- On fence 4Ls behind leaders in about 6th from 1000 M to home straight, held up for a run until 300 M out, running on again when steadied 100 M out, looked held by principals in any case.
11 11 THUNDER STORM (CA226) A Delpech B Awkwardly away, had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1000 M to home 600 M out, hard pressed to lie up off home turn, failed to quicken up.
12 5 SOLID CONTACT (BP168) Y T Cheng -- Hard ridden from gates but failed to lead outright, disputing the lead out 2-wide at 1000 M, marginal advantage from top of home straight, swamped 200 M out, faded.
13 13 GOOD TRIO (CD029) C Williams B Disputed lead on fence from 1000 M to top of home straight, very one-paced thereafter.
14 14 STAR PRODIGY (CD294) M Zahra SR Awkwardly away, always well behind, 8Ls down in 11th at 1000 M, 6Ls down towards rear off home turn, no impression.
