1 5 FOREST STAR (CJ167) M Chadwick TT Urged early along the fence to stay in touch towards rear. Moved closer and was 5Ls down rounding the turn. Took inside run and picked up gradually on straightening. Dashed well passing 200M and caught the leader near post.
2 6 BE MY SONG (CH272) T H So H/TT Disputed lead in a 2-wide position through to home straight. Ran on well and hit front 200M. Looked set for victory until the winner flashed home closing stages.
3 2 WIND DAMPER (CK320) Z Purton -- Ridden along after fair start. Travelled 3-wide behind pace approaching home turn. Kept on in the straight but couldn't reel in the front pair.
4 7 SOUNDS EXCELLENT (CK259) D Whyte -- Slow to begin. Under pressure early and raced 2-wide behind midfield 800M out. Swung widest and was 5Ls away on straightening. Covered good ground and was nearest at finish.
5 10 HOT ASSET (CL060) J Lloyd TT Away in line. Soon driven to race 2-wide behind leading section. Plugged on in the straight without serious threat to the front trio. (Abnormal breathing noise.)
6 4 TYCOON TAYLOR (CH288) K W Leung B Shaken up early. Disputed lead on fence from 900M. Hung on until headed 200M. Not beaten far.
7 14 MY MELODY (CJ157) W M Lai B/XB/TT Pressed early but could only maintain a spot behind midfield on fence. 3Ls off turning into home. One-paced to conclude.
8 1 RARE TREASURE (CH150) Y T Cheng CP-/XB/B1/TT Jumped well but was trapped 4-wide. Elected to sit 3-wide better than midfield from 900M. Every chance in the straight but couldn't turn up a notch.
9 13 FASCINATING SMILE (CK335) G Cheyne -- Well enough away and took prominent spot 900M out. Ran on in the straight without troubling the principals.
10 8 GOUF (CJ227) G Mosse CP/TT Quickly into stride but was caught wide. Gradually dropped to midfield in a 4-wide position from 1000M. Came wide and was 4Ls down turning in. Finished off fairly.
11 11 LOTS OF FUN (CL089) O Doleuze -- Began awkwardly and raced at rear on fence until home straight. Passed only beaten rivals thereafter.
12 9 BINGO KEY (CK190) D Beadman -- Raced 2-wide behind midfield early. Shuffled further back when crowded for room near 850M. Never recovered.
13 3 LUCKY AMICI (CK177) J Victoire XB/TT Travelled wide and without cover ahead of midfield until top of home straight. Faded thereafter.
