1 2 SIR ERNESTO (CG051) F Coetzee SR Soon led on fence, always 1L to 2Ls clear until the 600 M controlling the pace, set alight to go 2Ls clear before top of home straight, tired a little late but always holding a break.
2 5 SYLLABUS (CD388) Y T Cheng B/TT Had the run of the race about 2Ls back in 3rd on fence until the 600 M, 3Ls down in 3rd turning for home, stayed on well to briefly threaten the winner but post came too soon.
3 3 HAIL THE STORM (CE125) S Dye -- 2-wide in 2nd between 1L and 2Ls from the front until the 600 M when niggled slightly, always held thereafter just keeping on at the same pace.
4 4 AGILITY (CC361) W M Lai XB Unsuited by tempo on fence about 4Ls back in 5th (last) down the back, same turning for home when a little short of room, just missed 3rd but outpaced by quinella pair in any case.
5 6 ABLE ONE (CG108) M Nunes -- Too keen early on and tended to hang in throughout, positioned in 4th about 3Ls or 4Ls while 2-wide until straightening, never likely to land a telling blow.
UR 1 BEST GIFT (CD296) K L Chui -- Refused to stretch out once gates opened, didn't want to know about racing and unseated rider.
