1 3 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) Z Purton -- 4-back along rails, 7Ls adrift in 9th at 1000 M, progressed on the circle and poked through to lead 150 M out towards inner, driven out to prevail.
2 4 AURELIAN (CC025) Y T Cheng B- 6Ls back in 8th out 2-wide at 1000 M, 4Ls back but briefly held up at top of home straight, stayed on well for 2nd without really testing the winner.
3 2 TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) H W Lai -- 9Ls off pace in 12th at 1000 M, improved to be 4Ls down off final turn and kept on to briefly lead 200 M out, couldn't sustain the bid but held a place.
4 5 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) O Doleuze B Devoid of early pace, detached in rear 14Ls from the pace at 1000 M, ran on pretty well through final 600 M to take an unlikely 4th, never nearer.
5 8 LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) K L Chui B/TT 8Ls back in 10th out 2-wide at 1000 M, still worse than midfield about 6Ls down off last bend, retrieved a little late ground, nearest at finish.
6 14 WINNING PATTERN (CG125) M W Leung B-/H-/PC2 Hard ridden to lead by 1L from 1400 M to home turn, headed 200 M out and gradually slipped out of the money.
7 6 TALE OF FRIENDSHIP (CH184) G Mosse B/SR Slow to muster early pace, one from rear about 12Ls last at 1000 M, 5-wide off last bend, ran on okay through a few tiring rivals.
8 10 GOLD DIGGER (CD101) W M Lai CP Box-seated in 4th about 2Ls behind early pace on fence and still right there entering homestretch, failed to find another gear, weakened late.
9 7 CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) D Whyte B/TT Enjoyed a soft run on fence 4Ls behind speed around midfield from backstretch to home turn, held up for a run at 200 M, didn't recover.
10 12 STARFINDER (CH074) M Du Plessis B On fence but worse than midfield 9Ls behind pace at 1200 M, 6Ls back off last bend, always chasing at least half the field.
11 13 HAPPY ASH (CG106) C K Tong V/XB Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout, between 1L and 2Ls back in 3rd from 1200 M to home turn, yielded ground after extra work in final 300 M.
12 1 GOLD GEM (CG197) D Beadman CP/TT 4Ls back in 7th out 2-wide at 1000 M, improved to a more threatening position into straight, nothing there when asked to pick up, eased late.
13 9 PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) S K Sit TT 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1200 M, under pressure to retain this proximity into home straight, dropped out very quickly.
14 11 GLOBAL WAY (CG158) G Boss B/TT 2Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, steadily lost this position on the circle, very poor ending, unacceptable.
