1 11 MULTIMIGHTY (CG175) B Prebble B/TT Had the box-seat early but switched out 2-wide a neck off pace from 1000 M to home turn when hanging out, clear lead 350 M out and extended inside final 50 M.
2 1 STILTON (CG173) O Doleuze V-/CP2 Didn't break and settled in rear with cover about 6Ls off pace, 5Ls back in 12th turning for home, ran on strongly late to take 2nd inside final 50 M but had little chance with winner.
3 2 KINGSGATE GLORY (CH020) F Coetzee -- Nice run despite a wide 3-wide no cover trip throughout, 2Ls down in 3rd from 1000 M to home straight, stayed on gamely for a place.
4 3 SOHNA (CG183) D Whyte CP1 Settled midfield 3-wide but with cover and about 4Ls off pace through to final bend, had every chance to place but lacked the acceleration.
5 4 CHAMPION LAD (CH042) D Nikolic -- Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th from 1000 M to home straight, had every hope to place but one-paced inside final 200 M.
6 6 MEDIC LEGION (CE162) A Delpech -- Broke very badly, veering sharply left losing considerable ground, 8Ls last at 800 M, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home in rear, stayed on only fairly for midfield finish.
7 14 FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) H K Yim B Settled towards rear about 7Ls off pace early, ridden along when turning for home still well behind, moderate late headway.
8 7 CHAMP DRAGON (CB278) C K Tong TT1 Led by 1L on fence at 1100 M, a neck ahead from 800 M to home turn, headed 350 M out and weakened out.
9 13 KING OF SPADES (CC056) M Odendaal B On fence about 5Ls back in 10th at 1000 M, not much closer on straightening and never troubled principals.
10 8 FOREVER RICHES (CG174) E Saint-Martin B Always 2-wide and slightly worse than midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed until home turn, never threatened.
11 12 SILVERBIRD (CB335) Y T Cheng CP/TT Well placed 2-wide about 5th place and within 2Ls or 3Ls of the pace until home turn, failed to quicken up and well held through final stages.
12 10 LORD CAIRNS (CE127) M Nunes B2 Didn't break well, over-raced early, 3-back on fence about 3Ls off pace in midfield until home turn when under pressure, found zero off the bit.
13 9 SINOSPIEL (CG003) K L Chui B With cover 2 and 3-wide in midfield about 3Ls off speed until home turn, failed to kick and beaten over 200 M out.
14 5 KING ACRYLIC (CG295) K T Yeung B1/TT1 Always caught very wide 4-wide no cover, sent on 2Ls off pace in 6th or so at 900 M, struggling to lie up at final bend, faded out.
