1 13 RELY ON ME (CE068) C Munce -- Led by no more than 1L on fence from 1000 M to stretch entrance, quickened over 1L clear at 200 M, always in command.
2 2 TREASURE COLT (CE308) D Whyte -- Over-raced with head up at 1000 M when about 1L off pace and 2-wide, 2Ls down in 3rd off final bend, held every chance to pick off winner, just clung onto 2nd place on line.
3 10 CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) E Saint-Martin H-/CP2 Mostly without cover, 4-wide at 800 M when 8Ls last at 800 M, 7Ls down at 400 M, pushed wider at 300 M when making headway, ran on strongly to be nearest at finish.
4 6 GANBARIA (CE052) O Doleuze SR 3Ls off speed in 6th when 2-wide at 1000 M, similar taking home turn, about 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, one-paced late and missed out on a place.
5 1 PIONERO (CD402) S Dye B Fractious in gates, in rear early, 6Ls down in 11th at 800 M, 5Ls back in 9th off home bend, made some steady late ground, never nearer.
6 9 DR HAENSLER (CE003) C Brown -- 3-wide with cover in mid-division about 4Ls off pace through to homestretch, 3Ls down in 4th at 200 M, well held there- after.
7 12 PEACH BLOSSOM (CC309) W M Lai TT 3-wide with cover and about 3Ls off pace in 6th until 800 M, left 3-wide no cover at 600 M and was 4Ls down in 6th entering homestretch, failed to pick up.
8 4 LUCKY GUYS (CE016) C W Wong SR Slowly away, worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace through to home bend, hung left under pressure, never troubled leaders.
9 7 G-ONE LEADING (CE306) B Prebble -- 3-back on fence about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed in midfield from 1000 M to home turn, comprehensively outpaced.
10 8 TELECOM PRINCESS (CE315) K S Yu SR Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th until the 600 M, under pressure turning for home when 3Ls down in 6th, no impression.
11 14 FANTASTIC STAR (CC294) S K Sit B1/TT 3-wide no cover about 1L off speed in 2nd or 3rd through to the 600 M, under pressure when a neck down in 2nd and 2-wide at home turn, dropped out very quickly from 300 M.
12 11 EXHILARATION (CE063) Y T Cheng -- Lost about 3Ls at start when slowly away, towards rear and keen at 1000 M when 6Ls off pace, 10Ls last on circle, never a factor.
