1 10 NOBLE CRUSADER (CD286) D Whyte -- Crowded at start, pressed on to race 2Ls down in 4th at 800 M, 2Ls down in 3rd off home turn when under pressure, 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, kept on to lead 100 M out, all out to hang on.
2 13 GREEN TREASURE (CD225) G Schofield TT- 3 back on the fence 4Ls down at 800 M, 3-wide and still 4Ls down in 5th off home turn, picked up well to be 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, kept on well, only narrowly failed.
3 7 COLOURFUL ERA (BP234) J Holder B About 6Ls off the speed in midfield towards the inner from backstretch to homestretch, ran on quite well, never nearer.
4 2 FORTE (CB351) S Dye -- Brief lead very early on, 2Ls down in 2nd 900 M out, hung right on circle but still led 500 M out, 2Ls clear at top of home straight but hung left, fading when headed 100 M out. (Lame.)
5 1 TOY QUEST (CC036) P Payne V 4-wide without cover when 10Ls off pace in 13th at 900 M, still towards rear when 8Ls down off home turn, ran on well to be nearest at the finish.
6 14 BRILLIANT EXPRESS (CB022) C Williams -- Crowded at start, in rear group about 9Ls behind at 800 M, same margin behind when 6-wide into home straight, made some late headway past beaten rivals.
7 3 DANEHILL WARRIOR (CB452) K H Chan -- 3Ls down in 5th and 2-wide at the 800 M, lost place on circle and 6Ls down in 7th when 4-wide off home turn, one-paced thereafter.
8 6 ASIA RISING (BT270) A Delpech -- Crowded at start and checked, about 9Ls behind in 12th at 800 M, same into home straight and posed no threat.
9 11 SALUT BEAUTE (CB189) R Fradd B No better than 7Ls off pace when worse than midfield until home straight when 6-wide, never really figured.
10 9 ATHLETIC GOLD (CC241) W Woods PC-/B2 3-wide without cover when 3Ls down in 3rd at 800 M, under pressure to hold this spot off the home turn, weakening when 4Ls down in 4th off home turn, faded right out.
11 8 DON FELIPE (CD273) M Zahra -- 6Ls off pace in midfield when 2-wide at 800 M, fading when 5-wide and 7Ls behind off home turn, no impression.
12 5 SUCCESSIVE GAINS (CC158) Y T Cheng B Outpaced early on and 12Ls last at 900 M, never a factor.
13 4 DOUBLE DIP (CD217) A Marcus -- Hard pressed to lead by 2Ls on fence at 900 M, headed 500 M out and hard ridden when 2Ls down in 2nd from top of home straight, dropped out tamely. (Lame.)
14 12 GOT IT GOOD (CC229) K S Yu -- Bounded at start and slowest away, towards rear about 7Ls off pace at 800 M, outpaced and much further behind in rear about 7-wide off home turn, soon eased down.
