1 9 ALL'S WELL (CE234) S Dye -- Always travelled well, 2-wide and 3Ls off the speed in 5th at 800 M, 2Ls down in 4th at final bend, picked up well to lead over 200 M out, pushed out, comfortably.
2 12 DON FELIPE (CD273) C Munce -- In rear bunch 7Ls off pace at 800 M when 3-wide with cover, improved on circle to be 4Ls down in midfield at home turn, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, ran on well for 2nd, winner was much too strong.
3 11 OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) O Doleuze V Always niggled along in midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace through to home straight, headway to be 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, no extra close home.
4 1 DILIGENT (CC285) G Schofield CP 5-wide no cover in rear at 900 M when 8Ls last, 4-wide (widest of all) on straightening when 6Ls down in 11th, ran on well late, nearest at finish.
5 7 ROMANTIC WINNER (CE112) B Prebble -- Steadied at start, covered up in midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls off the speed through to home turn, tried to challenge when 2Ls down in 5th or so at 200 M, couldn't follow through.
6 4 GOLD MEDAL WINNER (CE165) D Whyte B Box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd until the home straight, held up until around 200 M and disappointed when trying to shift into clear running, place chance soon gone, luckless.
7 14 CARELESS WHISPER (CE123) A Delpech B/TT Keen at 800 M when 5Ls off pace in 8th, disappointed for running entering home straight when 4Ls down in midfield, never troubled leaders from then on.
8 13 GOLDEN FARM (CA069) M Rodd B Led on fence by about 1L at 1000 M, still clear at home turn, headed 300 M, faded steadily.
9 8 SILVER WRAITH (CE178) Y T Cheng -- Always a little worse than midfield, 6Ls down in 9th at 800 M, shuffled back further on turning for home, never dangerous.
10 10 FORTE (CB351) W M Lai -- 2-wide and 1L off speed in 2nd at 1000 M, hung out a little on straightening in 2nd, held a brief and marginal lead at 300 M before being headed by winner over 200 M out, soon swamped.
11 3 ONE STEP AHEAD (BT033) K H Chan B 3-wide no cover at 800 M when over 2Ls back in 4th, similarly placed off home turn, soon retreated.
12 6 PROFIT HILL (CE274) G Mosse -- Crowded and steadied at start, towards rear and 8Ls off pace at 800 M, 5Ls back in 10th at final bend, steadied at 200 M when 4Ls down, short of room and not fully tested late.
13 2 OSCAR STAR (CC046) P H Lo -- Lost ground at start with head up, 8Ls off pace in rear on fence at 800 M, 7Ls last on straightening, made no impression.
14 5 SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) D Dunn B1 Awkward break, 7Ls off speed towards rear at 800 M, same entering home straight, never competitive.
