1 4 EXCELLENT BOY (CE238) O Doleuze P Settled around midfield out 3-wide but with cover, 4Ls down into home straight, nice turn of foot to lead 50 M out despite hanging in, kept on.
2 7 SUNNY KING (CH105) E Saint-Martin XB/H/TT 4Ls or 5Ls adrift in midfield with cover before the last corner, dashed home well but couldn't quite reel in the winner inside final 50 M.
3 3 HAWKES BAY (CG064) B Prebble XB Great run having been 3-wide no cover throughout, prominent before home turn and led 300 M out, headed at the 50 M, joined for a place.
3 10 SIGHT WINNER (CJ049) D Whyte -- Tracked leaders from midfield in 3-wide position, over 2Ls down in 6th turning for home, kept on well but never likely to reach quinella pair.
5 5 CALIFORNIAMOUNTAIN (CG310) K T Yeung TT Sent to the front from wide gate, led on fence by 1L at the 1000 M, headed 300 M out and one-paced final 200 M.
6 11 FEARLESS (CH301) F Coetzee B Slowly away, on rails 6Ls back in 10th at halfway, 4Ls down off last bend, without clear room at the 200 M, might have finished a little closer.
7 12 EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) C W Wong TT Slowly away but recovered to box-seat in 3rd from 1000 M to home turn, outpaced by the principals shortly afterwards.
8 1 JOY AND FUN (CH014) G Boss CP Raced prominently in 5th about 3Ls behind leader until final bend, pressured and looked held when hampered 150 M out, yielded ground.
9 9 TOP HONOR (CE183) G Mosse -- 8Ls last at 1200 M, edged a little closer in 12th off final turn but failed to make much of an impact.
10 2 BULLISH CASH (CH049) K L Chui TT 7Ls last early on, 5Ls down in 10th and trying to quicken up on straightening, couldn't live with most of those in front.
11 6 TIBER (CD155) D Beadman XB/TT 3-back on fence in midfield no worse than 4Ls from the speed until home turn, couldn't take advantage.
12 14 LUCKYME (CH012) M Du Plessis TT Keen early on and restrained to race near rear by middle stages, 5Ls down near tail of field off last bend, never likely to land a blow. (Tactic questioned.)
13 8 SYLLABUS (CD388) H W Lai B/TT Towards rear throughout, 7Ls last and struggling turning for home, very much outpaced.
14 13 SUPER TRAVELLER (CH275) Z Purton -- Flanked pacesetter out 2-wide and 1L back down back straight, still close-up turning for home but swamped before the 200 M.
