1 4 THAT'S IT (CE223) D Whyte -- 4-back on fence about 6Ls off pace in 7th at 1200 M, closer about 4Ls back in 6th when 2-wide entering stretch, picked up nicely to lead 150 M out, driven out to hold a neck margin.
2 6 CHINOOK (CC108) K L Chui B 2-wide and 3Ls back in 4th at 1100 M, 2Ls back in same position at home bend, every chance 200 M out, hung right under pressure and just lacked pace of winner.
3 10 TABBRIS (CB088) S Dye B/TT Led on fence by 2Ls at 1200 M, 1L clear on straightening, headed by winner 150 M out but did enough for a place.
4 7 BUDDIES POWER (CB201) K T Yeung B/TT Had the run of the race on fence about 2Ls off pace in 2nd or 3rd until final bend, had every possible hope to at least place so no excuses.
5 9 EVER KING (CE147) M Nunes V/TT Twice steadied early on and settled in 9th at 1000 M about 7Ls off pace, marginally closer taking home turn, moderate late headway, never nearer.
6 2 SPACED (CG034) Y T Cheng TT 3-wide no cover before getting in 2-wide over 2Ls back in 3rd at 900 M, 1L down and under pressure in 2nd turning for home, one-paced in the finish.
7 3 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) F Coetzee B On fence 4Ls back in 5th at 1100 M, niggled along 3-back on fence around bend when 3Ls behind, disappointed for running at 200 M but looked held in any case.
8 5 SPRING SMILES (CG269) D Nikolic -- Over 8Ls behind in 10th at 1200 M, no closer on straightening for home, made some minor late ground without threatening.
9 11 WATCHMAN (CB327) P H Lo B/SR 5Ls back in 6th and 2-wide at 1100 M, same margin behind but in 8th on straightening, never troubled leaders.
10 12 AURELIAN (CC025) H W Lai CP Over 8Ls back in rear at 1200 M, still well back in rear swinging for home, didn't find much off the bridle.
11 1 AWESOME DRAGON (CG210) G Mosse B Slowest away, about 10Ls last early on, left 3-wide no cover at 800 M so pressed on out wide to 4Ls off pace in midfield from 600 M to home turn, no extra and weakened.
12 8 WINNING PATTERN (CG125) B Prebble CP/XB Always in rear, 7Ls behind in 8th at 1200 M relegated to last turning for home, stayed there.
