1 8 TRULLI (CH327) O Doleuze B/TT 6Ls or 7Ls back in 11th early and still with plenty of ground to make up entering straight, finished very strongly to lead inside final 30 M.
2 5 BEJEWELED (CH289) C K Tong -- About 4Ls back in 4th on fence initially, closer turning in and briefly led 150 M out, no answer to winner's late swoop but held 2nd gamely.
3 2 GUNNER MAC (CJ192) D Whyte -- 2 and 3-wide with cover 5Ls off early pace, unleashed a strong challenge from top of stretch and upsides with every chance 50 M out, no extra.
4 9 REUNION (CE258) W M Lai TT 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1000 M and much the same off last corner, briefly led 200 M out but faded out of the placed runners inside final 50 M.
5 1 SPRING SUN (CJ128) D Beadman -- 3-back on fence 5Ls off the speed at the 800 M and edged a little closer at final turn, ran on okay without troubling the principals.
6 6 GUAN DAO (CH211) Y T Cheng -- Between 2Ls and 3Ls from the speed in 3rd through to the home straight, 1L down and with definite place prospects at 200 M, couldn't sustain the run.
7 7 DUMBARTON ROCK (CJ228) M Du Plessis TT Slow away, 4-back on rails towards rear at least 6Ls from the lead until straightening, made a little headway but posed no great danger.
8 4 MAGIC CHARIOT (CH094) B Prebble B-/P1/H/TT 3-wide no cover throughout, midfield early on but advanced to be 3Ls down in 5th swinging for home, tired inside final furlong.
9 14 FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) F Coetzee -- 2-wide and 5Ls behind early speed, similar margin back in 9th into final 400 M, always held.
10 3 KUNG FU (CE289) G Boss P/H Led by 1L on fence at 1000 M, enjoyed a soft lead and still clear taking final bend, headed 200 M out and surrendered tamely late. (Questioned for poor performance.)
11 12 NORDIC STAR (CH302) H W Lai TT Always rearward, 7Ls or 8Ls behind until entrance to homestretch, always chasing the majority of the field.
12 13 STAREILLY (CJ083) K L Chui TT 4Ls back in 5th at the 800 M and in the same position on straightening, outpaced and yielded ground final 200 M while hanging out.
13 11 MASSIVE STAR (CJ126) C W Wong -- Slowest away, always last, 8Ls back at 800 M and became further detached in the straight, poor run.
