1 2 WEI HAI INVINCIBLE (CH258) K T Yeung B-/CP2/TT Made all, set steady pace, led by 1L passing post for the first time until the home straight, always doing enough to hang on for the win.
2 6 THE WITCH'S BROOM (CH231) B Doyle B Held 'one-out-one-back' position from 1000 M to home straight entrance, stayed on well in the finish without overhauling the winner.
3 3 BILLION (CH316) Y T Cheng -- Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls behind pace from 1200 M to home turn, had his chance to at least fill the quinella but lacked the gears to do it.
4 1 REAL SPECIAL (CH320) F Coetzee XB Flanked pacesetter 1L back in 2nd out 2-wide from 1200 M to home turn, every chance to at least fill the quinella but one-paced inside final 200 M.
5 10 UNIQUE SPEED (CG134) Z Purton TT 3-back on rails about 4Ls from pace in 5th at 1000 M, 3Ls behind into straight and without clear room until the 150 M, possibly unlucky not to place.
6 4 POS TRUMPS (CH295) D Whyte -- Tightened and lost position passing post for first time, 2-wide and 3Ls or 4Ls back in 6th from 1000 M to homestretch when ridden along, held thereafter.
7 8 DUMBARTON ROCK (CJ228) G Mosse TT Lost ground at the start, 5Ls or 6Ls back in 9th or so through to the home straight, made only minor late headway.
8 12 SOLAR POWER (CE047) W C Marwing TT Went from wide gate to be 9Ls last at 1000 M, 6Ls down turning for home, set a stiff task given the slow tempo up front.
9 11 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) K L Chui B 7Ls back in 10th at the 1200 M, still well back behind the steady pace until home straight, very one-paced on the run in.
10 7 DASHING THUNDER (CD080) C W Wong -- 3-wide no cover worse than midfield and at least 4Ls or 5Ls behind until the final bend, fizzled out in the home straight.
11 9 HAPPY CRUSADER (CE080) M W Leung V Over-raced early on, 4-back along the rails in 8th or so about 4Ls or 5Ls behind pace until the last 400 M, posed little or no threat.
12 5 NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) E Saint-Martin -- Slowest out by 4Ls, always rearward and no better than 6Ls from the speed at any stage.
