1 3 SURE JOY (CE299) C W Wong B/TT Always in firing line, disputing lead at halfway, skipped over 2Ls clear with 200 M to go, ridden out.
2 9 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) W M Lai B Settled about 3Ls back in midfield until halfway, headway to go 2Ls back in 2nd passing 200 M pole, never likely to reel in winner.
3 11 FLORAL FOKANZA (CG136) F Coetzee CP-/B1/TT Always prominent and no worse than 2Ls back in 3rd until the 400 M, ran on for pressure close home for a place, finished lame.
4 8 INSIDER (CG112) N Ryan -- Slow to begin, over 2Ls back in 5th or so through early stages, soon driven along to keep tabs with principals and stayed on at same pace.
5 5 THUNDER FLASH (CG270) B Prebble -- Best away and soon crossed to stand's rail, steadied once headed at 800 M, close enough until the 300 M but always looked held in final stages despite not having the greatest deal of room.
6 2 TOFFEE (CE236) C K Tong TT Awkward break with rider losing an iron for about 100 M, about 7Ls behind in rear at halfway on far side, made some nice late ground, nearest at finish.
7 7 EXPLORATION (CE322) O Doleuze CO- Always niggled in about 8th place and 4Ls off speed until the 400 M, never threatened to get much closer.
8 10 TREASURE PLANET (CG117) M Nunes SR/H1/TT Away well and crossed to lead by stand's rail by 1L at 800 M, headed over 400 M out and petered out inside final 200 M.
9 12 CASH BABY (CD220) M W Leung PC/H Always struggling in rear at least 7Ls off the speed, made some very minor late ground but never really on terms.
10 1 PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) D Whyte -- Worse than midfield leading far side bunch about 5Ls behind the pace through first half, never dangerous.
11 6 WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) K T Yeung B Towards rear on the far side and always toiling, weakened further in final stages.
12 4 ALWAYS HAPPY (CE085) Y T Cheng V-/B1 Always off the bit and near the rear on far side of track, weakened further inside final 300 M.
