1 | 11 | AMPLE GAINS (CE021) | A Delpech | B1 | 2-wide and 3Ls behind lead in 5th through to home straight, picked up well to lead 150 M out, stayed on strongly. |
2 | 12 | GREENESSY (CE001) | Y T Cheng | B-/CP1 | Over-raced in place when 3-wide without cover 2Ls behind in 4th at 1000 M, pressed on to be 3-wide into straight and 1L down in 2nd, a neck 3rd at 200 M, one-paced close home. |
3 | 14 | NOBLE HEART (CC355) | O Doleuze | B | Slowly away, towards rear 6Ls off pace with cover at 1000 M, closer 3-wide on straightening, down centre of track when over 2Ls down in midfield at 200 M, nicked a place on the line. |
4 | 10 | ENCHANTED (CE065) | C Williams | SR | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1400 M to top of home straight, every chance when disputing lead at 250 M out, no extra close home and narrowly missed a place. |
5 | 3 | NOBLE CHAMPION (CC287) | B Prebble | -- | Always 2-wide and 4Ls down in mid-division until turning for home, stayed on quite well for pressure late. |
6 | 4 | LANCETTIER (CD338) | C Brown | TT | 6Ls off pace and 3-wide with cover at 1200 M, 3Ls down in 5th entering straight, 2Ls down in 5th at 200 M, a little one-paced close home. |
7 | 1 | SPEEDING MOLLY (CC227) | G Schofield | SR | 3-back the fence about 4Ls off pace in 6th until turning for home, failed to quicken up and never looked like bettering midfield spot. |
8 | 7 | HAPPY CRUSADER (CE080) | R Fradd | SR | Switched to fence in rear down backstretch about 8Ls off pace, stayed on past a few tired rivals but always one- paced. |
9 | 2 | SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) | L Innes | -- | Settled near rear on fence about 7Ls off pace, drifted to last at top of home straight, posed no threat. |
10 | 8 | LUCKY CORDELIA (CD088) | E Saint-Martin | TT | 4-back the fence about 6Ls off pace in 9th until straightening, always outpaced. |
11 | 13 | HAPPY CONTENDER (CC152) | K W Tsui | TT | Slow away, worse than midfield and 3-wide with cover about 6Ls off speed until home turn, never looked likely to improve. |
12 | 9 | EAST OCEAN DRAGON (CB194) | F Coetzee | B/TT | 2-wide and 1L off lead in 2nd until 500 M, hard pressed to lie up turning for home, soon beaten. |
13 | 6 | LUCKY KING (CA304) | S Dye | B | Always in rear 3-wide with cover and 8Ls off pace until the 600 M, 3-wide and 6Ls down in 13th on straightening, no impression. |
14 | 5 | ADAIKALI (CE181) | M Rodd | -- | Pressed on to lead by 2Ls on fence at 1200 M, ridden along to be 1L clear off home turn, headed 300 M out, faded sharply and eased close home. |
