1 12 A PLUS FIT (CD013) W M Lai B2 Led at 1000 M and clear by 1L on fencre at 800 M, half a length clear off home turn and 1L to the good at 200 M, pulled further clear.
2 2 ZERO IN (CC332) R Fradd -- Led on fence early on, headed 1000 M out and steadied when 1L down in 2nd at 800 M, a neck down with every chance 300 M out, no chance with winner, hung on for 2nd okay.
3 11 NOBLE HEART (CC355) S Dye -- Towards rear when 3-wide with cover about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace down back straight, 6Ls last and 4-wide into straight, made some good late headway to steal a place on the line.
4 3 CHECK MATE (CC259) M W Leung SR-/B Awkwardly away, on fence about 5Ls off pace towards rear down the back, briefly short of room at top of straight, ran on fairly well along fence late on.
5 8 SUNRISE RAINBOW (CD209) D Whyte -- On fence in midfield about 4Ls behind leader until turning for home, kept on at the same pace.
6 7 TSUNAMI (CD105) A Delpech -- Keen early on, 4-wide but with cover when 5Ls off pace in 12th at 800 M, 6-wide (widest of all) into straight when 4Ls off pace in midfield, staying on well when just over 2Ls 3rd at 200 M, no extra.
7 5 TIRAMISU (CB386) P H Lo V 3-wide without cover when 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 900 M, 4-wide into straight when still 2Ls down in 3rd, one-paced thereafter.
8 4 WIN FOR ALL (CD002) A Marcus -- Slowest away but moved up nicely on rail to be 3Ls off pace in 5th at 900 M, under pressure to be 2Ls down in 4th on the swing, faded steadily.
9 9 HAPPY KID (CC326) W Smith V1 Had a tough trip and often without cover, 3Ls off pace and 4-wide at 800 M, 5-wide into home straight when 3Ls down in 6th, all out to hold this margin at 200 M, weakened final furlong.
10 1 MONEY STRONG (CC369) O Doleuze SR Slowly away, towards rear when 2-wide and about 5Ls off the speed down the back, still 5Ls down when 4-wide into home straight, no impression.
11 6 MILLION CHASE (CD132) G Mosse CP 3-wide with cover about 4Ls behind the lead down the backstretch, under strong pressure to take closer order at 600 M, still 4Ls down entering straight, weakened.
12 10 AFFIRMATIVE ACTION (CD133) C Williams -- About 6Ls off pace in rear through to home straight, never got any closer.
13 13 GREAT STAR (CB122) M Zahra B/TT 2-wide and 2Ls off pace in 4th at 900 M, 3Ls down in 5th at home turn when 3-wide, dropped out very quickly.
14 14 CASH KING (CB332) Y T Cheng V About 4Ls or 5Ls off the speed and slightly worse than midfield when 2-wide until home straight, very weak thereafter. (Significant amount of blood in trachea.)
