1 6 SWEET BABY (CG294) D Whyte V Held up worse than midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed until home bend, quickened up to lead inside final 50 M despite hanging badly right close home, just scraped in.
2 10 LUCKY CORDELIA (CD088) D Nikolic -- About 8Ls off pace and one from rear early on, wide off final turn when 6Ls off pace, ran on strongly late down the centre of track and only barely missed out.
3 7 SILVERBIRD (CB335) Y T Cheng -- 4-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in 7th between 4Ls and 5Ls off speed until the straight, ran on well through closing stages for a place.
4 12 LUCKY YEARS (CD331) W M Lai B/XB Decent effort having raced 3-wide without cover throughout, always prominent about 1L or 2Ls off pace in 4th or so until home turn, a neck down in 2nd at the 200 M, one-paced close home.
5 5 GLOBAL WAY (CG158) B Prebble V/TT 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd at the 1100 M, 1L back in 3rd at home turn, every chance when a neck down in 3rd at the 200 M but no extra late on.
6 9 HURRICANE WAY (CH039) A Delpech B On fence about 7Ls last at the 800 M, still there turning for home, made some good late ground down centre of the track, never nearer.
7 2 RAMPANT LION (CH068) O Doleuze B Crossed from wide gate to lead on fence by 1L at the 1200 M, held same margin until being headed final 200 M, only swamped inside final 50 M.
8 11 ACCELERATION (CD400) F Coetzee CP1 Over-raced early when 3-back on fence position, about 3Ls off pace in mid-division until home turn, 1L down in 4th at the 200 M and faded close home.
9 13 A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) K L Chui B/TT Slowest away, about 11th and 6Ls off speed until home turn, stayed on only fairly in the stretch.
10 8 FRAMES DEPOT (CG118) E Saint-Martin B Slowly away, 3-wide with cover about 5Ls off speed in 9th at the 1000 M, wider making home turn when same margin back mid-division, no impression.
11 1 SO NICE (CG110) C K Tong CP1/H1 Rider lost iron exiting gates and recovered it after 200 M, 2.5Ls back in 6th at the 1000 M with cover, still in a nice position on straightening and 1L down at 200 M, faded late.
12 4 CROWNED GEM (CE056) K T Yeung B/TT Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd but always struggling to lie up with the pace, hard ridden turning for home and fizzled out, poor effort.
13 14 BAYVIEW LAD (CC148) S K Sit B Always rearward about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace, never a factor.
14 3 STEP FORWARD (CB166) G Mosse B Raced 3-wide with cover in midfield about 4Ls off pace until the 600 M, ridden along to try and close on straightening but found little and beaten 200 M out.
