1 1 THUNDER STOMP (V279) Z Purton -- Away smoothly, held up 2-wide in midfield, moved strongly into contention 400M, responded well to hit lead 150M and always holding off the persistent runner up.
2 10 FULL GLAMOUR (A155) M Chadwick B-/TT Soon crossed to the fence, settled well ahead of midfield, quickened up nicely 200M and issued a serious challenge, just failed to peg back the winner.
3 3 FLYING QUEST (A071) M F Poon -- Reserved behind mid-division in 9th, waited with until leaving the bend, laid in early straight, closed off well when straightened up, got up for 3rd near line.
4 7 AGREE (A116) T Berry B Began only fairly, rushed forward to track leader, pushed along 450M, kept on steadily to line, out kicked late stages.
5 6 ULTIMATE GLORY (S235) N Rawiller -- Never far off from leaders, travelled well into straight and had every chance from 350M, lacked a strong response, one paced late and missed out in the scramble for 4th placing.
6 9 RELENTLESS ME (A178) D Whyte CP Went forward tracking the pace, held up 300M-200M, didn't come on when clear, only battling away steadily.
7 12 UNICRON JEWELLERY (V333) C Y Ho -- Bumped heavily at the start, raced behind midfield along the fence, 4-5Ls to make up 400M, no clear run early straight, closed off well final 200M, could have done better.
8 8 GO GO WIN (S073) H N Wong -- Crossed to the lead passing 1400M, led to 150M and faded towards the line. (Runner significantly disadvantaged during the race as jockey lost use of right iron shortly after the start.)
9 5 NITRO EXPRESS (T353) S Clipperton TT Held up 2nd last about 7Ls off the pace, couldn't quicken sufficiently passing 350M, never competitive.
10 2 GOLD LAND (A109) U Rispoli B/TT Bumped heavily at the start losing ground, failed to muster and raced towards the rear 6-7Ls back, closed off only fairly turning home and never a threat to leaders.
11 11 GOLDEN SLEEP (T117) W M Lai -- In midfield early stages, caught wide no cover 1200M strolled closer to pace but still wide to straight, run ended 250M and weakened.
12 4 JUMBO HAPPINESS (V315) O Doleuze B Given a waiting ride in the rear on this first attempt over 1650M, made his move out-wide from 550M, couldn't sustain effort turning in, soon beaten. (Lame next day.)
