1 5 BARRACUDA (CB320) G Mosse -- Driven from gates to share early lead on fence, skipped over 2Ls clear and headed for home 500 M out, 4Ls to the good at 200 M, always in charge.
2 10 ALL OUR WAY (CE217) O Doleuze B- On fence 7Ls back in 10th early, not much closer taking final bend, ran on pretty well through a tired bunch to take 2nd place in final 50 M.
3 2 LIAOBUQI (CE018) C K Tong V/TT Didn't muster usual early speed and crowded 1400 M out, 6Ls back in 9th at 1100 M, 5Ls down in midfield taking home turn stayed on fairly late but only likely to fill a minor placing.
4 6 SUPER FANTASY (CD162) A Delpech H/TT Switched from wide gate towards inside, 9Ls back in 11th place at 1200 M, still towards rear when 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, ran on fairly well late, nearest at finish.
5 8 WATCHMAN (CB327) K L Chui B/SR 3-back on fence 4Ls down in 6th at 1100 M, travelled well turning for home in similar position, one-paced thereafter.
6 3 ELFHELM (CC342) D Nikolic B Always in midfield, 2-wide and 3Ls off pace in 5th at 1100 M, a little further back taking home turn, always held.
7 4 QI'S PET (CD321) S Dye XB/B2 Slowly away and squeezed at start, 10Ls behind in last at 1200 M, 8Ls last taking final bend, never at all dangerous.
8 7 FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) D Whyte B 4Ls back in 7th when 2-wide at 1100 M, 6Ls down in midfield when steadied at 500 M, switched out 4-wide turning for home, checked 250 M out, never troubled principals.
9 11 LIBERAL'S RIDE (CG058) M Odendaal -- Box run on fence in 4th about 2Ls off pace early, same margin behind in 2nd at home turn, wayward and about 4Ls down in 2nd at 200 M, very weak late.
10 1 DARE TO WIN (CG099) H K Yim B Didn't break well, very keen early on when disputing the lead out 2-wide, settled 1L back in 3rd at 800 M, 4Ls down in 4th and slipping back at home turn, weakened.
11 12 MAKE YOU JEALOUS (CE316) W M Lai -- Bumped at start, checked passing post at 1400 M, 5Ls back in 8th at 1100 M, fell further back turning for home, very one-paced.
12 9 BUDDIES POWER (CB201) K T Yeung B/TT Caught 3-wide no cover and disputing lead at 1000 M, began to lose ground from 500 M out and 3Ls down in 3rd at final turn, dropped right out.
