1 4 MY CHOICE (CC283) A Marcus SR Settled 2-wide about 5Ls off pace in midfield down back straight, took closer order turning for home, quickened up well to lead at the 200 M, readily.
2 6 SMART CHAMPION (CC324) G Schofield -- Caught 4-wide without cover early on, 3-wide without cover from 800 M when 2Ls down in 3rd, half a length down at top of home straight, disputing lead at the 200 M, winner too strong.
3 2 SCINTILLATION (CC228) W C Marwing -- Very keen early on out 2-wide disputing lead, still over-racing 800 M out, led at top of home straight, headed over 200 M out, just hung on for 3rd place.
4 9 CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) D Whyte SR Slowly away, niggled along 800 M out to hold 5th place 2-wide and 3Ls off pace, closer but ridden along entering straight, soon outpaced but was staying on well again nearer the line.
5 12 SUNNY DESERT (CB346) H K Yim B About 3Ls off pace in 6th down backstretch when 3-wide with cover, 2Ls down on straightening, definite place chance 200 M out when just 1L down, no extra.
6 10 GREAT STAR (CB122) C Williams SR-/TT Held up on fence about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace in about 9th place through to the 600 M marker, 4Ls down entering home straight, ran on only fairly, never threatened.
7 5 PLENTY OF LUCK (CA308) S K Sit -- Raced 3-wide outside winner about 5Ls off pace in midfield down the back, a little closer when 3-wide into home straight, rather one-paced thereafter.
8 3 SHINING GEM (CA180) W Woods -- Always well placed on fence 2Ls off the speed in 4th through to the home straight, failed to pick up and was beaten 200 M out.
9 13 LUCKY VICTORIES (BT163) M W Leung B Crowded at the jump, 2-wide in rear bunch and at least 10Ls off pace down back straight, 3-wide off the home turn, never a threat.
10 14 TUSITALA (CC052) W Smith V Slowly away, 3-wide with cover in rear when about 10Ls off pace for first half of race, 4-wide (widest of all) into home straight, made some late headway past a few beaten rivals.
11 11 PRECIOUS MOMENTS (CC264) J Quinn -- Settled towards rear about 8Ls off the pace through to the 600 M marker, closer off home turn, soon well outpaced, never remotely dangerous.
12 8 MYSTIC SPIRITS (CC278) F Coetzee B Driven along to lead narrowly from the jump on fence, never clear by more than 1L, headed off top of home turn, weakened right out.
13 7 MR PRESIDENT (CA178) K C Tsang SR Always worse than midfield, 2-wide and at least 5Ls off the pace, bit part player.
14 1 THE GOV (CB225) P H Lo B Crowded at the start, held up towards rear, last by at least 8Ls off home turn, never a factor.
