1 3 JADE DRAGONFLY (CE331) O Doleuze -- 3-back on fence travelling well about 3Ls or 4Ls from the lead until home turn, held up and switched out to clear running at 200 M, quickened well to lead inside final 20 M.
2 1 PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) R Fradd -- Pressed onto 2nd place out 2-wide and 1L down at 1000 M, led 350 M out and a neck clear at 200 M, grabbed by winner about 20 M out.
3 4 PIONERO (CD402) S Dye B In 2nd place 1L off speed at 1200 M, 2Ls down in 3rd or 4th from 800 M to home straight entrance, not the clearest passage until 200 M out, rallied quite well for a place.
4 11 PALIO KING (CG073) G Mosse TT Nicely placed until home straight about 3Ls off pace and 2-wide in 5th position, about 1L down in 3rd and every hope of a place at 200 M, didn't follow through.
5 13 ONLY YOU (CD210) M Nunes -- Never far away in midfield in a 3-wide position (had cover), 3Ls down in 6th turning for home outside winner, ran on fairly well but never likely to place.
6 12 KING OF SPADES (CC056) W M Lai B Settled about 9th place on fence until home straight about 4Ls or 5Ls behind pace, switched out wider to run on well in straight, nearest at finish.
7 9 DEVON FLAIR (CD240) M Odendaal V Led out 2-wide by 1L at 1200 M, on fence and 1L in front from 1000 M to 500 M out, headed 350 M out, still just a neck 2nd at 200 M but faded late.
8 7 CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) A Delpech B Caught 3-wide no cover throughout but prominent mostly in 4th and about 2Ls off speed, still well there at top of home straight and 200 M but tired late.
9 2 HAPPY CONTENDER (CC152) K W Tsui TT Restrained one from rear on fence about 8Ls from speed at 1000 M, under pressure taking final bend, always well held.
10 10 THAT'S WIN (CG015) D Whyte SR-/CP1 Slow break losing 2Ls on the field, recovered to move 4Ls from the pace in midfield in 2-wide position from 800 M to home turn, one-paced thereafter.
11 6 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) N Ryan B Always in the rear bunch and no closer than 5Ls or so from the speed, struggling off final bend, no impression.
12 5 WAFER KING (CD276) B Prebble B2/TT No speed early, always worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the lead, niggled along turning for home, never dangerous.
13 14 SHATIN WIN WIN (CE284) S K Sit TT Terrible start quickly left him 10Ls off the pace, tacked on to rear of field at 600 M, never looked like drawing any closer and laboured in straight.
14 8 FOREVER RICHES (CG174) Y T Cheng -- Never travelled so well in a worse than midfield position and always at least 6Ls from the front, left behind from top of homestretch.
