1 3 HIP HIP HOORAY (CD258) D Whyte B Disputed lead early on fence, settled about 2Ls back in 2nd at 700 M, picked up well off home turn to lead 300 M out, driven out, just hung on.
2 7 DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) G Schofield -- Always niggled along when 2-wide about 8Ls behind in 12th down backstretch, 4-wide on the swing when 5Ls behind, ran on very strongly, failed narrowly.
3 6 SUNRISE RAINBOW (CD209) O Doleuze SR 2-wide and about 6Ls behind in 10th along backstretch, closer over 3Ls back in mid-division off final bend, ran on well to nick a place in final strides.
4 8 ISLAND SPIRIT (CD014) R Fradd V 4Ls behind in 5th when 3-wide without cover at 800 M, 4-wide entering straight and under 1L back in 2nd at the 200 M, lost a place final strides.
5 14 ROYAL VICTORY (CD143) M Rodd -- Raced 3-wide with cover in 9th about 6Ls off pace until 800 M out, 4-wide and 4Ls down in same spot entering straight, ran on quite well despite weakening final 100 M, improved.
6 13 BULLISH KID (CC162) F Coetzee TT Threw head up on exiting and settled about 9Ls off pace down the back, 5Ls behind and one from rear taking home turn, switched out and steadied 200 M out, ran on well, never nearer.
7 11 HORSE AROUND (CB361) Y T Cheng B/TT Always within about 2Ls of the speed in 3rd down the backstretch, 1L back in 4th off final bend when hanging out, one-paced thereafter. (Significant amount of blood in trachea.)
8 4 TOP HEALTH (CD015) Y Lerner TT1 On fence in midfield no worse than 4Ls or 5Ls off pace (checked slightly at 800 M) through to home straight, not dangerous.
9 10 GOLD MASTER (CC365) H W Lai B2 In midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls behind until 800 M when hanging out a little, 3Ls back in 6th when 2-wide entering straight, soon outpaced.
10 9 UPPA HAND (CD221) A Marcus B Slowest away, 3-wide about 4Ls behind in midfield at 900 M, steadied at 700 M and 4-wide into home straight, no impression.
11 1 MAN ON THE MOON (CD156) P Payne B Settled in rear about 9Ls behind and 2 and 3-wide down the backstretch, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, posed no danger down centre of track.
12 2 SAND DANCE (CD022) S Dye -- Mostly 2-wide but always tended to hang in towards fence, 3Ls behind in 4th at the 800 M, 2Ls down in 5th turning for home, beaten over 200 M out.
13 12 KING OF TURBOT (CD181) S K Sit -- On fence 8Ls behind in 10th for most of backstretch, under pressure when 6Ls last entering home straight, never a factor.
14 5 FANTASTIC HORSE (CB314) C K Tong B Disputed lead out 2-wide at 1000 M and went 2Ls clear 700 M out, joined by winner turning for home and weakened quickly from 300 M out.
