1 12 SOLAR EMPIRE (CB299) C Williams -- Brief lead by 1L on fence at 1200 M, headed at 1100 M, disputing advantage on fence entering straight, shot over 2Ls clear at 200 M, driven out to hold on fairly comfortably.
2 8 REAL PARTNER (CD313) A Delpech TT Settled 8Ls off the pace in rear on fence, 3-wide into straight when still in rear about 7Ls behind, picked up well to go about 3Ls 2nd at 200 M, kept on well but gave winner too great a start.
3 1 LUCKY LAD (CA148) M Rodd B Always caught 4-wide without cover until home straight, towards rear about 7Ls behind at 800 M and 5Ls down and 4-wide into home straight, 3Ls behind at 200 M, no extra.
4 10 BUDDIES POWER (CB201) K S Yu TT Crowded on fence at 1300 M, 5Ls off the pace in midfield at 800 M, 3Ls down in 5th turning for home, stayed on at the one pace.
5 6 SHINING DRAGON (CC181) W Woods SR1 Awkwardly away, 7Ls off the pace and worse than midfield at 800 M, 4Ls down off home turn in midfield, switched outside for a clear run at 300 M, stayed on without threatening.
6 11 MASTER YING (CB249) W M Lai B- Couldn't lead and raced 4Ls off pace and 2-wide in 4th down the back, 2Ls down and 3-wide in 3rd turning for home, outpaced thereafter.
7 4 DOUBLE HAPPINESS (CB198) G Mosse -- Bumped at start, 2-wide and about 8Ls off pace in rear bunch down backstretch, 6Ls down in 12th on straightening, making some headway when checked at 300 M, didn't recover.
8 5 PROGRESSING TIMES (CC231) D Whyte -- 3-wide with cover when 7Ls down in 8th at 800 M, niggled along entering straight when 3-wide and 5Ls down when worse than midfield, didn't trouble principals.
9 7 FRUITY FRUITY (CD061) A Marcus -- Slowly away, 2-wide and 6Ls off the pace down the backstretch in mid-division, same turning for home, short of room at the 300 M, always well held.
10 3 LUCKY STALLION (CA249) P Payne B/TT- Awkwardly away, raced 3-wide without cover until home straight when 6Ls off the speed in midfield, closer turning for home, failed to finish off with any purpose.
11 2 THOUSAND WINS (CD352) O Doleuze -- Slowest away, raced freely with head up at 1200 M, in rear bunch about 8Ls off the pace when 3-wide without cover through to home straight, never a factor.
12 14 DON FELIPE (CD273) P H Lo B Led 1100 M out and clear on fence by 2Ls at 1000 M, always tended to hang out a bit, joined for the lead turning for home and swamped over 200 M out.
13 13 SUPER FANTASY (CD162) B Doyle -- Raced prominently about 3Ls off the pace on the fence in 3rd or 4th from back to home straight, weakened from 300 M out.
14 9 SMART CHAMPION (CC324) B Prebble SR1 Awkwardly away, raced freely in places down the back when about 5Ls off the speed in mid-division, all out to be 4Ls down in about 6th place entering straight, weakened rapidly.
