1 10 MIRACULOUS (CE115) F Coetzee -- Tracked leader in 2nd just 1L from the speed until home turn, led over 300 M out but never got much more than a neck clear and all out to hang on from strong finishing 2nd.
2 9 SOUTH BREEZE (CG241) G Mosse -- Worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace with cover at halfway, only marginally closer turning for home, clear over 200 M and ran on strongly late only post came too soon.
3 14 NEW COMMAND (CG135) C W Wong B Led on fence at the 1400 M, always about 1L clear until home turn, headed over 300 M out but didn't fade out and only lost out on 2nd in final strides.
4 3 SAFETY FIRST (CG161) A Starke B/H 3-wide with cover when over 4Ls worse than midfield down the back, not much closer turning for home, dug in well late on to be nearest at the finish.
5 7 CLASSIC KING (CD256) O Doleuze B/TT With cover in mid-division about 4Ls off pace until halfway, niggled along to take closer order at 600 M, stayed on dourly in the finish, never nearer.
6 8 SINOSPIEL (CG003) K L Chui B Had the box seat run at 1000 M about 2Ls off pace on fence in 4th, same turning for home, always held by leading pair and one-paced closing stages.
7 4 SUPER GOAL MASTER (CG220) S Dye TT Dropped out about 6Ls off pace in rear through to final bend, stayed on only fairly down centre of the track while hanging in.
8 12 EVER KING (CE147) M W Leung V/TT Slowly away, over-raced in places early on when 4-back on fence in midfield, stayed on at the same pace but still nearest at finish.
9 13 FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) C K Tong B In rear bunch at least 6Ls off pace until home straight, short of room at 100 M when finishing off well not fully tested yet.
10 5 HAPPY FIT (CH084) B Prebble XB/TT Slowly away, keen early on, 3-back on fence and 3Ls off speed at halfway, driven along to try and improve at the 600 M, always held by those in front.
11 1 ABLE STANDARD (CG043) D Whyte B/TT Keen but prominent early on, no worse than 2Ls off pace with cover until final turn, 2Ls down in 3rd at the 200 M, weakened late on.
12 11 WINNING PATTERN (CG125) H W Lai CP-/XB- Caught very wide (5-wide no cover) down the back straight in midfield, still just 3Ls down turning for home but beaten 200 M out.
13 6 CAPABILITY (CE094) Y T Cheng B/TT Never travelled well, slowly away and soon 8Ls last in rear, under pressure trying to improve off final turn, finished off tamely down centre of track.
14 2 FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) K T Yeung SR/TT Away well and pressed forward to race within 1L of the speed out but 3-wide no cover, 2Ls down in 5th and tiring off final turn, soon beaten.
