1 5 QUANTUM POWER (M134) Z Purton H/XB Travelled nicely in a rail position ahead of midfield, moved out near 400M in search of room, awkwardly placed from 300-200M, got going again 150M from home, surged late to get up close home.
2 3 SUPER GENKI (CH195) M Chadwick B/TT Slow to muster and raced as the back-marker about 8Ls off the pace, finished off strongly but not matched winner's pace final 100M.
3 13 SCENT OF OSMANTHUS (L341) C K Tong V- In touch, responded well once in line for home, briefly led from 150M, caught late.
4 4 PEPPERMINT (M192) W C Marwing -- Restrained to a 2-wide position towards the tail of the field, travelled strongly to straight but had not much room until 200M, finished fastest of all and should have been closer.
5 14 BIG WINNER AGAIN (CJ170) G Cheyne V/TT Taken back to the rear and was 7-8Ls behind leaders in middle stages, shifted to the outside of straight turning in and stayed on from off the pace.
6 11 LIONS' FORTUNE (CJ114) Y T Cheng TT Awkwardly away, was well covered behind midfield, shifted out to clear 350M, ran on fairly and inclined to hang in throughout the straight.
7 10 GENERAL DANROAD (L020) P Strydom -- Settled towards the rear after beginning slowly, kept to inside throughout, made some progress from off the pace but not getting to the leaders.
8 7 LUCKY CHEVALIER (M113) J Lloyd SR Chased the lead, kept on to 150M then weakened.
9 1 JOHNSON (CJ305) D Beadman B Sped off and crossed to the lead just before the turn, faltered inside 200M, no extra late stages.
10 9 EXCELLENT WIN (L234) M Du Plessis H On the outside of the pair chasing the pace, had to be driven along inside 600M, weakened on straightening and soon out of contention.
11 6 BUDDY BUDDIES (M021) B Prebble H Along the fence in midfield, angled out passing 600M for a clear path, found disappointingly little under pressure. (Jockey questioned.)
12 2 MAN OF THE MATCH (M153) D Whyte CP1 Settled behind mid-division but didn't pick up when asked inside 400M. No impression.
13 12 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) W M Lai B Caught 3-wide in midfield and didn't respond to riding on straightening, never likely.
14 8 SUPER THUNDER (M078) C W Wong TT1 Raced along the 2-path 6Ls back in midpack, held up early straight but found nothing when clear running presented, well beaten.
