1 4 SUNNY SING (CE135) C Soumillon TT Towards rear 3-wide and about 9Ls off pace in 10th at 1000 M, checked at 800 M, headway to be 5Ls down in midfield entering home straight, quickened up very well to lead inside final 50 M.
2 3 BOBO WIN (CC238) C W Wong TT Led by 1L on fence at 1100 M, same margin clear entering home straight, grabbed by winner inside final 50 M but still stayed on well for 2nd.
3 14 ALL'S WELL (CE234) S Dye -- 2-wide worse than midfield about 6Ls off pace at 800 M, 5Ls behind in 10th or so at final bend, stayed on nicely for a place but never likely to catch the winner.
4 8 LIBERAL'S KNIGHT (CE272) D Whyte -- 2-wide and 3Ls behind lead in 4th at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 4th on straightening, every chance when under 1L down in 2nd at 300 M, failed to find extra gear, lost out on a place close home.
5 6 SHARKI (CD267) B Prebble -- 5Ls down in 7th when 2-wide at 1000 M, crowded entering homestretch when 4Ls down in midfield, outpaced by front quartet.
6 9 PHANTOM THIEF (CG019) F Coetzee TT Head up at start and switched from wide gate to 12Ls last on fence at 1200 M, improved to be 6Ls down in 12th turning for home, 3Ls down in midfield at 200 M, no extra late on.
7 5 SANBENITO (CC256) S Sanders CP/TT Slowly away, in 12th place about 8Ls behind at 1000 M, 6Ls down in 13th entering straight, 4Ls behind and still nearer rear at 200 M, one-paced.
8 1 WEALTHY TREASURE (CC270) C Brown -- 6Ls off speed when 3-wide with cover in 8th at 1000 M, nice progress to be 3Ls down in 5th off home turn, couldn't quicken up and rather one-paced final 200 M.
9 12 BEST LUCK (CC062) H K Yim CP/TT Awkwardly away at start losing about 3Ls on leaders, recovered to be about 4Ls down in 6th on fence from 1000 M to home turn, not got any closer.
10 11 CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) H W Lai -- Over-raced when 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1000 M, still 1L down in 2nd at final bend, swamped 200 M out.
11 13 GIANFANTI (CD216) Y T Cheng V/TT Always 3-wide no cover, 4Ls off pace in 5th at 1000 M, pressed on to be 2Ls down in 3rd at top of home straight, couldn't sustain effort and gone before 200 M.
12 7 SIKANDER (CG080) O Doleuze B1 Never better than midfield at any stage, slowly away, in 8th on fence 5Ls off pace at 800 M, slightly worse off taking final turn, no acceleration.
13 10 LOYAL KNIGHT (CG053) E Saint-Martin -- Bounded in air on jumping losing some ground, one from rear about 10Ls behind at 1000 M, 9Ls last entering straight, never competitive and eased close home.
14 2 GREAT DELIGHT (CC291) K H Chan B Had the run of the race 2Ls off pace in 3rd on fence at 1000 M, under pressure to keep this prominent spot on straightening, soon well beaten. (Bled.)
