1 5 ENTHUSED (CH303) D Whyte -- Broke best but handed up the advantage to track leading pair, cruising in 3rd turning for home and hit the front 200 M out, pulled clear decisively.
2 3 SCINTILLATION (CC228) E Saint-Martin XB/H Wide no cover early on, 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 800 M, going well upsides turning in, no answer to the winner but held 2nd gamely.
3 10 PRIME SCORE (CG280) M Du Plessis B Led by 1L early on the rails, joined by SCINTILLATION at top of home straight, no chance with winner but dug in well to just keep 3rd.
4 7 MY CHOICE (CC283) Y T Cheng B Tracked leaders about 3Ls in 6th from 800 M to final bend, stayed on well late as usual and narrowly missed a place.
5 1 JOYFUL WINNER (CE045) D Beadman TT Worse than midfield about 6Ls from the speed before home corner, produced a fine dash in final 400 M and nearest at the finish.
6 2 SANZIRO (CE208) B Prebble B/XB/TT No early pace and waited with in rear, without a clear passage at top of home straight, finished off strongly once in the open and never nearer.
7 8 NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) F Coetzee TT Box-seated on fence in 4th or so about 2Ls from the speed until home straight, didn't find much off the bridle and yielded ground final 150 M. (Questioned for poor performance.)
8 11 LU YUE (CH278) C W Wong B/H Lost ground after the break, towards rear on fence and under pressure turning for home, soon outpaced by the majority of the field.
9 9 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) H W Lai CP Squeezed out a little at start, 4-wide (widest) and worse than midfield turning for home, failed to land a blow down centre of track.
10 6 KING ENCOSTA (CG247) Z Purton TT 7Ls last and 3-wide with cover in rear at 800 M, still well back on straightening, no impression out widest down centre of the track.
11 4 FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) O Doleuze -- Crowded at the start, keen through early and middle stages in midfield, left behind by most of the others in the stretch and eased late.
12 12 ALWAYS GIGGLE (CG086) W M Lai B Around midfield early before being left 3 and 4-wide without cover on the circle, very much outpaced in final 400 M, eased down close home.
