1 8 SOCRATES (CD336) Y T Cheng B Worked to lead on fence at 1400 M, 1L clear at 1000 M, headed at 800 M, a neck clear again turning for home, looked vulnerable 200 M out but kicked on again inside final 100 M for decisive win.
2 5 AQUA-TREASURE (CE185) D Whyte PC 2-wide and 1L off speed in 2nd at 1000 M, over 1L back in 3rd from 800 M to home turn, every chance of winning when a neck down in 2nd at 200 M, didn't follow through, one-paced late.
3 4 WADADELIGHT (CC340) O Doleuze B Slow break, over 2Ls back in 5th when 2-wide at 1000 M, 3Ls down in 4th swinging for home, outpaced inside by quinella pair inside final 200 M.
4 10 MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) H W Lai P Slow break, 7Ls off pace when 2-wide in rear over 1000 M out, not much closer and 4-wide (widest of all) taking home turn, ran on past a few tired rivals without making much ground.
5 6 MILLENNIUM SPIRIT (BV221) B Prebble P/TT- 3-back on fence when 4Ls down in 7th at 1000 M, lost position a little before home turn and under pressure, short of room very late but was only plugging on.
6 9 BYRON (CD275) W M Lai -- 3-wide with cover when 5Ls down in 9th at 1000 M, pushed along to improve on the circle, about 4Ls off pace in midfield at final bend and at 200 M, no headway.
7 11 SHINING DAY (CE163) K L Chui TT Box run on fence 2Ls off speed in 4th at 1200 M, soon struggling to maintain this position, 4Ls down in 6th turning for home, very one-paced.
8 7 COTTON BALL (CD327) G Schofield -- Caught 4-wide no cover at 1400 M, 3-wide no cover when 1L off pace at 1200 M, pressed on to lead by a neck out 2-wide at 800 M, headed again at top of stretch, faded out steadily.
9 1 SING FAY FAY (CE074) C Munce B/TT Never really travelled, keen at 1400 M then niggled along when 4Ls back in 8th and 2-wide at 1000 M, hard pressed to improve from similar position off final bend, offered little response.
10 3 SMART HORSE (BV096) W C Marwing -- Always 3-wide but with cover, 3Ls off speed in 6th or so from 1100 M to home turn, soon weakened out.
11 2 WINNING BLISS (CG156) G Mosse B1 Slowest away, 6Ls back in 10th at 1200 M, 8Ls last at 800 M, extremely one-paced.
