1 11 TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) B Prebble -- Slipped into box-seat position 2Ls off pace in 4th on fence at 1300 M and moved into the clear entering home straight, led over 200 M out, tired late and just hung on to score.
2 2 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) G Mosse B Settled 9Ls last at 1400 M, 6Ls down in 11th turning for home, stayed on strongly down centre of track but post came a few strides too soon to deny victory.
3 12 SPRING SMILES (CG269) D Nikolic B Slowly away again, never travelled very well, niggled along on fence in midfield about 5Ls off the pace at halfway, laboured his way to place inside final strides.
4 1 MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) H W Lai P Raced about 5Ls off pace in mid-division at halfway, 4Ls down in midfield turning for home, every chance to place but but could only stay on evenly and missed out.
5 4 JOY TRUMPS (CD242) K L Chui B/TT Awkward break, worse than midfield 3-wide no cover when 7Ls off pace at 900 M, 6Ls off pace in 10th at home turn, made some fair late ground, never nearer.
6 13 BAUHINIA (CD118) F Coetzee B-/PC2 Disputed early speed out 3-wide no cover before leading on fence at 1000 M, same margin clear at home straight entrance but headed about 250 M out, faded late.
7 9 JUSTINIAN (CB324) A Delpech -- Best away and disputed early pace on fence, settled over 1L back in 3rd at halfway and still right there 2Ls down in 3rd taking final bend, one-paced in the finish.
8 3 SUPER BALL (CD064) S Dye B Crossed to fence from wide gate, settled at least 6Ls back in 12th or so until halfway, edged a little closer off home turn, plugged on at the same pace.
9 7 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) O Doleuze PC/H 2Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, caught 3-wide no cover on the circle and 1L down in 2nd at home turn when hard ridden, soon wilted.
10 6 GOLD DIGGER (CD101) C K Tong CP 10Ls last on fence at 1000 M, 7Ls down in 12th off final turn, never remotely dangerous.
11 14 KING OF SHAVER (CH041) D Whyte -- 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, steadily lost this position on the circle and off the bridle turning for home, gave further ground.
12 5 KING CREOLE (CG287) Y T Cheng B More prominent than usual, disputed early pace out 2-wide on fence at 1300 M, 1L down in 2nd at halfway, 2Ls down in 4th and under pressure to lie up, gave ground.
13 10 SILLY BOY (CC094) M Nunes B/TT Caught without cover early on, gained cover at halfway when 4Ls off speed, very weak from top of home straight.
14 8 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) W M Lai -- Caught 4 and 5-wide without cover throughout, pressed on to to 3Ls back in midfield at halfway, lost this position on the circle and poor in the finish.
