1 4 SYDNEY EXPRESS (CG052) O Doleuze B2 6Ls off pace and worse than midfield at 1200 M, headway with cover from 600 M to be 2Ls back in 4th to home turn, led 150 M out and quickened clear nicely.
2 3 PERFECT FEELING (CH035) D Whyte TT Slow break, tracked winner in 9th about 7Ls behind early speed, improved from 600 M to home straight when 3Ls back in mid-division, stayed on well for 2nd but had little hope with winner.
3 6 LIAOBUQI (CE018) Y T Cheng H/TT Midfield about 5Ls off pace until halfway, pressed on out wider to dispute lead from 600 M and a neck clear at top of home straight, headed 150 M out but comfortably held a place.
4 5 GALLANT FALCON (CD194) K T Yeung B/TT 10Ls last at 1000 M, 6Ls down in 11th turning for home, made some nice late ground out wider to be nearest at finish.
5 1 FLYING BISHOP (CA296) C K Tong TT Soon settled into 3rd place, on fence 4Ls behind strong pace at 1000 M, over 2Ls back in 5th off final turn, stayed on at the same pace only.
6 12 SOLAR (CC198) M Nunes B In 10th place about 8Ls off pace at 1000 M, ridden along to take closer order entering home straight, never likely to place.
7 7 SEASONS TREASURE (CB310) P H Lo P 3-back on fence about 5Ls off pace in midfield at 1000 M, much the same before home turn, kept on at the same pace without threatening.
8 9 FRIENDSHIP (CE066) C W Wong -- Kicked up to hold and early lead by 1L at 1200 M, joined at the 600 M and headed at top of homestretch, beaten 200 M out and faded.
9 11 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) W M Lai B Nice early dash out wide but couldn't lead, settled 1L back in 2nd from 1000 M to 600 M, 2Ls back in 3rd off final bend, faded out from over 200 M out.
10 8 FREEBIRD (CC319) F Coetzee CP Tended to lay out, 2-wide and 4Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, no closer taking final turn in 7th, one-paced.
10 10 UNIQUE SPEED (CG134) K L Chui V Never travelled very well, well back in 10th at 1200 M, under pressure 7Ls off pace in rear at 600 M, never got much closer.
12 2 LUCKY MONEY (CE159) B Prebble TT Reminders early on when 6Ls off pace 1300 M out, 4Ls back in midfield until home turn, always outpaced in the homestretch.
