1 1 HAWKES BAY (CG064) B Prebble XB Even jump, positioned 5Ls back in 2 wide line, travelled well throughout, shifted out passing 400 M, let down with a strong sprint to claim rivals final 100 M.
2 2 EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) G Mosse TT Away in line, slotted in 5Ls away on fence, suited by decent speed and improved on rails on circle, switched 2 wide leaving bend, made a strong finish last 300 M but just failed to run down rival on line.
3 4 REGENCY DRAGON (CH001) Y T Cheng B/TT Amongst first to break, used a bit early to cross to lead, rolled along 1L clear in front, pinched a 3L lead at 350 M, kept on well and went down in a 3 way go.
4 7 GALLANT LION (CG243) J Winks H Drifted back soon after start, ended up 6Ls away on rails, helped by solid tempo, saved ground on rails on bend, found traffic in early part of straight, charged late when clear to just miss place.
5 9 MASTER POWER (CG318) W C Marwing B Began well, showed more speed to hold a spot 2Ls away behind leader, had easy time to bend, running emerged at the 400 M, lacked dash but stuck on evenly to be not far away in finish
6 6 ONE WORLD (CH133) D Beadman H/TT Jumped respectably, took a trail behind pace, tracked well 3Ls back in 2 wide line, improved 4 wide on bend, looked a threat to 200 M but peaked on run and didn't go on with it late.
7 5 BRILLIANT CHAPTER (CJ100) D Whyte -- Standard getaway, soon in rear division, settled 7Ls back in running line, no excuses with pace on, shifted wide on bend, made some headway but lacked usual finish and struggled final furlong.
8 11 CONTINUED SUCCESS (CJ622) B Stanley B/TT Drifted back from a wide gate, raced 8Ls away in 2 wide line, last on turning, passed some tired runners late.
9 14 BINGO STAR (CK635) L Corrales B Pressed on from a wide alley, posted 3 wide in midfield without cover, worked hard and pushed 5 wide turning, dropped out final 200 M.
10 8 PALACE GENERAL (CH629) R Silvera -- Showed good early speed, did some work to race outside leader, still 1L down on bend, unable to match the rest when they sprinted at 400 M, gradually faded out.
11 10 SI FOO (CK612) M Nunes B Broke well, angled into a midfield trail 4 to 5Ls back, had a fair run in mid-section, only one paced in straight.
12 12 NITTAN'S SPIRIT (CJ625) L Duarte -- Standard jump, posted 4 wide without cover in midfield, set too much to do 6 wide turning, weakened from 300 M.
13 13 CHIU CHOW BROTHER (CK634) K M Chin B No early pace, ended up well back 8Ls away sharing rear, made no impression.
14 3 FULL OF JOY (CG293) Z Purton -- Began nicely, pushed on to race on speed, forced to travel wide without cover on bend, struggling turning and soon dropped out, eased down thereafter. (Muco in trachea.)
