1 10 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) D Whyte -- Began with line, allowed to stride on to hold spot behind leader, had run of race in mid-section, camped behind them and took inside runs turning, hit front and fought doggedly to maintain advantage for length of straight.
2 11 RICE FIELD (CE134) Y T Cheng TT Moderate jump, made some progress to hold a midfield role 3 to 4Ls back on fence, had a quiet time in mid-section, trailed eventual winner on turning, cut to inside and steadily pegged back margin to be right in finish.
3 7 FULL OF JOY (CG293) G Mosse BO Fair break, couldn't find a slot and posted 3 and 4 wide without cover 4Ls off pace, did plenty in mid-section, crept closer to be 2Ls down turning, came to better ground and progressed steadily down outside to take 3rd.
4 6 ALBERTINELLI (CH111) M Nunes -- First to hit ground, rolled forward to race at leaders girth, had a fair trip with moderate tempo, still right there turning, didn't quicken but stuck on gamely in straight to make frame.
5 2 LEADING AHEAD (CH249) B Prebble TT Even getaway, slotted in to coveted 1 out 1 back trail, had soft trip throughout with steady tempo, 2Ls down turning, one-paced when run appeared but stuck to task and held ground strongly to finish.
6 13 CARRIZO CREEK (CE132) F Coetzee B Restrained from outset, posted 4 wide behind midfield 6Ls back with cover, forced to cover plenty of ground to bend, switched 5 wide turning and made good ground down outside to be closest on line.
7 8 DON FELIPE (CD273) H W Lai -- Average jump, ended up racing behind midfield, 5 to 6Ls back, tracked 3 wide with cover on circle, switched wider on turning, closed off nicely doing best work late to be not far away in finish.
8 3 GALLANT LION (CG243) S Dye -- Standard break, raced near to rear 2 wide 6Ls from speed, not set a task in middle stages and helped by speed, back in traffic turning, cut to inside and closed evenly under hands and heels riding.
9 9 SIR GALAHAD (CG272) O Doleuze -- Out well, unable to slot in, proved difficult to settle and ended up 3 wide 2 to 3Ls back with cover, had a fair run thereafter, close enough on bend, couldn't sprint when gap appeared and run ended at 200 M.
10 4 LOTZATOW (CD397) D Nikolic B Moderate beginning, ended up not too far back 3 to 4Ls off pace in midfield running line, tracked nicely between horses on circle, in traffic turning, into clear at 300 M but lacked usual finish and just plodded to line.
11 5 SIR LAGO (CH268) A Delpech -- Ordinary jump, settled next to last 6Ls back on rails, not asked in mid-section, still well back to bend, made little progress in straight beating home only tired runners.
12 14 PRETTY TRIO (CB343) W M Lai SR Away well, couldn't slot in and race 4 wide without cover 2Ls back, improved to challenge 1L back on bend, still there turning but weakened from 300 M when hard run took toll.
13 12 SING FAY FAY (CE074) K T Yeung B/TT Amongst first few out, rolled on to take up running, dictated terms at a moderate tempo, held a narrow lead on bend, tackled turning and found little dropping out tamely thereafter.
14 1 GOLDEN SUN (CD386) C W Wong V-/SR No speed from outset, raced 2 wide 6 to 7Ls back at tail, had a quiet run but not helped by average speed, came 3 wide on bend, showed nothing in straight and was well beaten.
