1 5 BRAVE HEART (CK277) D Whyte H Jumped well, always in touch behind leader, swiftly moved to the lead near 250M, drew well clear and was never challenged to the line.
2 7 GOLD RUSH (L026) W Pike B1 Shifted out abruptly on jumping, settled 2-wide in the group chasing the pace, angled out gradually to commence his run passing 450M, ran on strongly final 250M to go 2nd just before the line.
3 3 ELITE FORTUNE (CJ212) B Doyle -- Hampered at the start, ended up behind midfield 5-6Ls from leader, held up early in straight, clear from 350M and ran on soundly to just miss out on 2nd.
4 14 FULL BLESSINGS (CH238) K L Chui CP/TT Held an inside position behind leading group and had a smooth run throughout, kept on well early in straight and looked a place chance near 200M but run ended in late stages.
5 13 CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) H W Lai TT Driven early to find the lead, held advantage of just over 1L turning in found no response when the winner flashed past near 250M, faded gradually.
6 11 KIMBER FORTUNE (CK162) G Cheyne TT1 Ordinary jump but was taken to a 3-wide position in the chasing group, tucked in for cover making the turn, stayed on same pace and not able to land a serious blow.
7 4 SEASON LINKZ (CK133) D Beadman CP/TT1 Restrained to a midfield position along the fence, angled out for a clear run on straightening, had his chance but found no extra inside 150M.
8 2 RAINBOW SEEKER (CK300) J Victoire B Awkwardly away then raced towards the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, briefly held up early in straight but ran on only fairly when clear.
9 1 BELONG TO CASA (CJ064) M Chadwick -- With leaders but was caught 4 wide on the outside, lacked pace to challenge turning into straight then weakened rapidly passing 200M.
10 12 MARS EXPRESS (CK329) J Lloyd -- 6Ls behind leaders and never better than midfield, fanned wide into straight, driven inside 400M but no progress.
11 10 HOW WONDERFUL (CK397) Z Purton B/H1 Settled 3-wide towards the back of the field, had plenty to do passing 400M but could keep on at the same pace only. Never a factor.
12 8 KING GALILEO (L028) O Doleuze -- Trailed in last after a sluggish start, had 9Ls to make up turning in, not quickened and could get past badly tired runners only.
13 9 PACHINKO (CH208) B Prebble B/TT Settled towards the rear and not hurried in early stages, didn't pick up passing 450M, soon behind. (Bled.)
14 6 GLORY (L066) Y T Cheng TT1 Up with the early pace but struggled to keep up passing 450M, weakened rapidly and finished tailed out. (Unacceptable performance.)
