1 5 FALCON TURBO (B164) K Teetan B Moderate start from the two draw, settled one back on the rail to home straight, obtained clear run on the inside shortly after straightening and gained upper hand 200 metres out.
2 1 EXCELLENT PROPOSAL (D386) J Moreira E1 Settled behind midfield in 7th from the widest gate, quickened well from wide into straight to just fail to get up on line.
3 8 LORIZ (C036) V Borges -- Began well from the one draw to lead, joined rounding home bend but re-gained narrow advantage early in straight, unable to sustain effort closing stages.
4 2 MIG ENERGY (C376) Z Purton XB/TT Jumped fairly, travelled prominently and wide early stages, improved to dispute lead around home bend, kept on same pace early in straight until finding no extra over 200 metres out.
5 6 HAPPY FORTUNE (D341) T H So H/XB1 Trailed the field most of the way, given a reminder over 400 metres out, ran on past well-beaten horses in the run to the line.
6 4 TELECOM PUMA (C181) A Hamelin SR/TT Close up, faded shortly after straightening.
7 3 PRIVATE COUNCIL (D389) N Callan -- Awkward start, settled in 6th within 3L of pace to home straight, found no room and hampered 350 metres out, no further impression thereafter.
8 9 WINNING ENDEAVOUR (C048) H W Lai XB- Crowded at start and dropped to the rear in 8th, commenced move off the rail rounding home bend, made no impression from rear and wide into the straight.
9 10 HELAKU KNIGHT (C328) M L Yeung CP2 Improved steadily to prominent positon 3-wide, remained in similar no-cover position to straight, weakened under pressure.
