1 4 CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) B Prebble -- Big effort to win from a most unpromising position, on fence and one from rear about at least 7Ls off pace until homestretch, quickened through gaps on the inside to get up final strides.
2 7 ALWAYS ZIETEN (CB090) H W Lai -- Led briefly early but handed up to travel 2Ls off pace in 2nd or 3rd until home turn when travelling well, kept on to lead 150 M out but collared in the final bounds.
3 5 HARRY HARRY (CD019) K S Yu XB 4-back on fence throughout, 6Ls off speed at halfway in 9th or so, moved a little closer and travelling well entering straight, crowded at 200 M but ran on strongly for a place.
4 1 EVERGREEN (CE106) W M Lai TT Awkward break, 3-wide no cover early, 3Ls back in 4th from 800 M to home turn, stayed on fairly well without having the decisive dash to place.
5 10 TIRAMISU (CB386) M Nunes V/TT Had a soft run 3-back on fence in midfield throughout, 5Ls off pace at halfway and 3Ls back in 5th entering homestretch, had every chance to figure but was too one-paced.
6 9 NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) F Coetzee V Led by 2Ls on fence at 1100 M, 1L to the good at home bend, headed 150 M out and one-paced thereafter.
7 2 VINCERE (CE324) A Starke B No speed early on, 2-wide and 7Ls off pace at 1000 M, driven along to try and take closer order entering home straight, made only moderate late progress.
8 3 WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) Y T Cheng SR/V Slowly away, left 3-wide no cover from the 1000 M so pressed on to be 1L down in 2nd at the final bend, faded out pretty quickly.
9 11 DANRIVA (CA040) S K Sit -- Slowest away, about 7Ls or 8Ls last until the 600 M, widest turning for home and plugged on at the same pace down centre of the track, never nearer.
10 8 GLORIOUS RHYTHM (CC163) C Soumillon V 2 and 3-wide wide but mostly with cover in midfield about 4Ls off the pace, not going anywhere especially quickly when checked about 100 M out and eased late.
11 12 MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) C W Wong CP 4Ls back on fence in 3rd at 1100 M, lost inside position at the 800 M and shuffled back 5Ls off speed in 8th at home bend, no impression from then on.
