1 6 NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) B Prebble B1 Slow to begin, worse than midfield no better than 4Ls off pace until home turn, picked up very well to lead 50 M out despite hanging in, nice win.
2 5 GOLDEN STRIDE (CA343) H W Lai B Crossed to fence to lead marginally 800 M out, 1L clear taking home turn and skipped 2Ls in front at 200 M, caught 50 M out by winner and hung on for 2nd.
3 10 WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) K T Yeung B 3-back on fence in midfield about 3Ls off pace until straightening for the line, stayed on reasonably for a place but never looked like winning.
4 1 DRAGON AND GOLD (CD244) D Whyte -- Best away and soon settled into box-seat position on fence 2Ls off pace, niggled along turning into home straight, had every possible chance to at least place but failed.
5 11 SPY KING (CE205) Y T Cheng CP 2-wide in midfield early on, slipped further back to 5Ls down in 9th until home turn, made some minor late ground but never dangerous.
6 3 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) K S Yu B Close up early on within 2Ls off pace , checked 600 M out and left 3-wide no cover at 500 M, hampered turning for home, one-paced in the finish.
7 7 TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) H K Yim -- Fractious in gates, slowest to start, about 5Ls or 6Ls last or one from last until home turn, stayed on only fairly along the fence in the stretch.
8 9 GOOD TO GREAT (CD278) F Coetzee -- 3-wide with cover in midfield or so and no closer than 3Ls to the lead down the back, pushed wider and under pressure at 500 M, 4-wide into home straight, no gears.
9 4 FUNTRAP (CE243) G Schofield B Right on pace but trapped 5-wide no cover from bad draw early, pressed on to dispute the front out 2-wide at 600 M, over 1L down in 2nd at home turn, nothing left in homestretch.
10 8 HEALTHY FRUITS (CC193) D Dunn TT 3-wide with cover early in front rank, 2-wide and about 3Ls down in 4th taking final bend, found nothing off the bridle.
11 2 PROFIT HILL (CE274) K L Chui CP Slow to begin, much too keen early and threw head about with 700 M to go when about 4Ls in rear group, offered nothing in homestretch.
12 12 SUPERB (CE093) C Munce -- 3-wide with cover in rear early on, always in rear group no closer than 5Ls off pace from 800 M to home turn, weakened thereafter.
