1 8 DASH AHEAD (CD199) H W Lai B-/SR2 3-wide with cover when 4Ls off pace in 8th at 1200 M, 4-wide on straightening in midfield, stayed on well out wide to lead inside final 100 M, kept on.
2 11 SEASONS KNACK (CC242) E Saint-Martin P 3-wide with cover when 3Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, tended to hang out, 3Ls down on straightening, good progress to hold every chance at 200 M, rallied well but outstayed close home.
3 2 CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) A Delpech B 4-wide without cover when 3Ls off pace in mid-division at 1200 M, pressed on to dispute lead entering straight and at 300 M, faded slightly inside final 100 M.
4 9 ROYAL FALCON (CE091) R Fradd TT Led early, headed and then led again by half a length at 1200 M, joined at top of home straight, one-paced inside final 200 M.
5 5 SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) D Whyte -- 8Ls off pace one from rear on fence at 1200 M, closer entering straight but still towards rear, headway when clipped heels and nearly fell at 300 M, stayed on well again close home.
6 1 GREEN IN BLUE (CD117) G Mosse CP 3-back the fence 3Ls off speed in 6th at 1200 M, similarly positioned on straightening, always outpaced by principals.
7 14 SOCRATES (CD336) B Prebble V 3-wide no cover when 2Ls down in 4th at 1200 M, ridden along at 900 M, 4-wide on straightening in 5th, one-paced thereafter.
8 13 RAINBOW DIAMOND (CD183) O Chavez -- 10Ls last at 1200 M, 4-wide on straightening still in rear, made some minor late ground past a few tired ones.
9 3 SPRINTER (CA067) O Doleuze B 4-wide with cover when 5Ls behind in 10th at 1200 M, under pressure on circle and 5-wide (widest) on turning for home, no threat from then on.
10 12 MYSTIC FORCE (CD219) F Coetzee TT Slow away, raced keenly when rushing up out wide to lead out 2-wide at 1500 M, soon headed and about 2Ls off pace in 3rd or so off final bend, beaten at 200 M.
11 10 GOOD TRIO (CD029) C K Tong B/SR Over-raced in places with the run of the race in 3rd or 4th place on fence about 2Ls off speed until home straight, failed to quicken up.
12 7 LUCKY KING (CA304) G Schofield -- Never travelled well, 6Ls off pace in 11th on fence at 1200 M, under strong pressure to lie up at 600 M, no impression from top of stretch.
13 6 KIDDY SING (CD005) C Brown B/TT Slowest away, 2-wide and 8Ls behind in 12th at 1200 M, 3-wide and still towards rear on straightening, never likely to figure.
14 4 CHALLENGER (CE138) M Rodd TT 5Ls off pace when 2-wide in 9th at 1200 M, very weak in home straight, never a factor.
