1 2 MY TIME (CJ310) W C Marwing -- Always prominent. Hit front at 100 M and went on to win strongly.
2 9 TAI HANG'S PRIDE (CJ335) J Winks -- Handy position on rails, 2 to 3Ls behind the pace through to the straight. Responded well inside final furlong but unable to match the winner's turn of foot.
3 5 HUSSLER (CJ323) D Whyte B Prominent spot throughout but kept one-paced in the straight without posing real threat to the quinella pair.
4 6 GANBARIA (CE052) K C Leung B Pushed early and ran wide round the 1000 M turn. Took lead on fence 800 M out. Kept on steadily in the straight without troubling the front trio.
5 1 KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) M Chadwick B Travelled midfield on fence, 4Ls behind the speed from 800 M Ran on evenly in the straight without challenging the principals.
6 12 FOREVER SUPPORT (CK024) H W Lai B/TT First to begin and raced better than midfield. 2-wide and 3Ls back 800 M out. Just held ground in the straight.
7 3 SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) B Doyle V Settled at rear, 2-wide and 8Ls off the pace from 800 M. Improved slightly early in the straight when asked but couldn't follow through.
8 10 GREEN SUPER (CJ103) M Du Plessis CP Raced at rear on fence, 7Ls behind the speed 1000 M out. Kept same tempo despite under pressured from 500 M.
9 11 SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) J Lloyd H/TT Settled behind midfield, 2-wide and 5 to 6Ls back 800 M out. No pick-up in the straight.
10 4 EXPLODING (CH046) Z Purton XB/H Bounded in the air at start and lost ground. 9 to 10Ls back early stages. Made up some ground in the straight.
11 7 ENCOSTA DON (CH305) E Saint-Martin B Began awkwardly. Driven to race near midfield, 3-wide without cover and 4Ls behind the pace at the Rock. Pressed on at the bend and was 4-wide turning in. Faded inside final furlong.
12 8 GLENEALY VIKING (CK174) B Prebble -- At rear and raced greenly throughout. Never a factor.
