1 3 DURABLE (CE190) D Beadman -- 2-wide and 4Ls off speed in midfield at halfway, pushed out wider to challenge 400 M and 4-wide entering homestretch, kept on to lead at the 200 M, all out to score.
2 10 KING OF SHAVER (CH041) G Boss B 4-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in 8th or so until straightening, headway until being tight for room at 200 M, ran on well again for 2nd once clear.
3 7 BEST FRIEND (CH240) B Prebble -- Not looking good when under pressure and 8Ls back in 10th at the 800 M, making some ground 6-wide (widest of all) into home straight, stayed on strongly for a place.
4 8 VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) M Nunes SR Led early on by 1L on fence, handed up advantage from 1000 M to track in 2nd until home bend, led again 250 M out but soon headed and lost a place final strides.
5 6 RAIN CHECK (CH254) D Whyte B 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd early on, 3-back on fence at the 800 M, right there with every possible hope into home straight, lacked the kick and missed a place final 50 M.
6 5 PRIMIATA (CG226) C K Tong B/TT Crowded at start, worse than midfield on fence about 6Ls off speed at 1000 M, about 4Ls down and 2-wide in 9th turning for home, outpaced inside final 200 M.
7 9 DIAGHILEV (CH241) Z Purton CP-/B1 Held a nice position 2-wide about 3Ls back in 5th until final turn, just over 1L back in 5th at the 200 M but couldn't follow through and faded, no excuses.
8 4 ALWAYS ZIETEN (CB090) H W Lai -- Slowest to break, 7Ls last at 1200 M and still well back turning for home, never landed a blow.
9 1 MAGI JOY (CH056) M W Leung B Caught 3-wide no cover about 1L back in 3rd at the 1000 M, 2-wide for most of back straight and 1L down in 2nd swinging for home, soon yielded ground.
10 12 FRONTIER (CH023) C W Wong TT1 Drifted back towards rear and 9Ls behind at 1000 M, still well back when badly checked making final turn, no impression.
11 2 MIRACULOUS (CE115) P H Lo TT Led by 1L out 2-wide at the 1000 M, couldn't cross until the 600 M, headed at top of home straight and faded out.
