1 9 HELLA HEDGE (P355) K K Chiong B Strong start, quickly to lead, 1L lead 800m in moderate fractions, travelled strongly throughout, clicked up 350m, found just enough.
2 5 FLYING TOURBILLON (T051) M L Yeung B/XB First to break the line, quickly headed, restrained into 2nd 1 off, back to 3rd on rail 900m, ridden 350m, railed through, almost on terms 75m but just missed.
3 4 TIME WARP (A066) M Chadwick TT Fast to jump, unable to match early speed, settled 4th 1 off, keen at times, ridden 500m, still green and laying in, one-paced early in straight, strong through line late.
4 1 LOVE SHOCK (V287) J Moreira B Slightly slow, eased early to settle midfield 1 off, ridden 380m, ducked out on turn, made solid ground but no threat.
5 6 WONDERFUL JOURNEY (T402) N Rawiller XB Away on terms, natural speed to press forward, awkward 1st turn and trapped 3 deep, settled 2nd 1 off, a little keen at times, asked for effort 320m, faded very late.
6 2 SUPER TURBO (V310) B Prebble -- Slow into stride, mustered through to settle midfield on rail, got head up 750m, switched over heels entering straight, ridden 340m, only hit top gear very late.
7 3 DRAGON GENERAL (T400) C Schofield B/TT Jumped well, let speed go, settled fore of midfield on rail, overraced 850m, settled better soon after, ridden along 500m, never likely.
8 7 HARRIER JET (T372) N Callan V/TT OK start, last early, railed through to sit near rear on inside, travelled strongly throughout, pushed along 400m, made significant ground without ever challenging.
9 12 TRUMP (P106) T H So -- Even jump, eased to beyond midfield on rail, on heels 750m, under a ride 350m, never a chance.
10 10 SPEEDY ACHIEVER (V021) S De Sousa B/TT Eased from gate, settled beyond midfield 3 deep, eased to 1 off 750m but threw head about, niggled 450m, pulled centre track straight, no impression.
