1 12 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) C W Wong B Disputed early speed on fence, clear by 1L from 1200 M to home turn, always holding a similar margin to the line.
2 11 JOY AND TREASURE (CD251) Y T Cheng V/TT Had the box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th through to final bend, had his chance but couldn't overhaul the winner.
3 2 NATURAL ECHO (CB326) O Doleuze CP 3Ls back in 6th out 2-wide early on, improved out 3-deep without cover from 1000 M, a close 2nd at home turn and closer at 200 M, tired inside final stages.
4 4 SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) D Whyte -- 4-back on fence in 9th place about 5Ls from the front until the 600 M, switched out 3-wide off final bend to challenge, briefly threatened a place but the run faded inside final 150 M.
5 5 NEW TAMAR (CE156) B Prebble B Keen early when disputing the pace, settled better about 2Ls off the lead in 5th at halfway and same off home bend, moderate finish.
6 1 FEBURO (CE203) D Nikolic B Held up towards rear, 8Ls last at 1000 M, made some minor late ground in the straight but never seriously threatened.
7 6 RED FORTUNE (CE192) C K Tong B Midfield with cover about 4Ls off speed until the home turn, never loomed much of a danger.
8 7 MIRACLE DRAGON (CD254) F Coetzee -- Slowest away, mostly in 10th position about 5Ls from the lead, stayed on one-paced.
9 8 ACCELERATION (CD400) M Nunes -- 2-wide and 6Ls off pace at halfway in 11th, in rear and struggling taking final turn, no impression.
10 3 FLYING PROFILE (CD168) G Mosse CP Slow away, worse than midfield early on, caught 3-wide no cover from the 1000 M and 3Ls back in mid-division at halfway, faded from top of home straight.
11 9 SPARKLE (CB406) H W Lai V/TT 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off speed until home straight entrance when hard pressed to maintain a position, wilted.
12 10 FORTUNE GOLD (CD343) W M Lai -- In the one-out-one-back position at 1200 M, improved to be 1L down in 2nd at 600 M but faded tamely in the straight.
