1 12 AMIGO (CK358) J Lloyd -- Out in line, ended up 3 wide just worse than midfield, had OK run 5Ls back, improved circle and came 4 wide turning, asserted final 200 M and kept on to score.
2 1 ROMPING (CK038) J Victoire B Slow into stride, mustered into prominent spot 1 out 1 back, had run of race to bend, cut back inside on turning, chased well to line.
3 9 BEAUTY LEGEND (CL143) B Prebble -- Drifted back soon after start, raced 3 wide in rear division 6 to 7Ls back with cover, tracked eventual winner on bend, worked home soundly.
4 5 FIRM OFFER (CE008) G Mosse SR/TT Faded back as usual, settled last on fence, 8Ls or so from lead, had job to do on bend, switched out and made considerable ground late.
5 3 IRISH JIG (CJ125) D Beadman TT Slotted into midfield, had easy time throughout, tracked well approaching bend, didn't have a clear run on turning in, finished nicely final 200 M when clear.
6 14 LEGEND (CK042) M L Yeung -- Positive to begin, trapped 3 wide without cover 3Ls back, worked in mid-section, crept close to challenge on bend, ran out of petrol final 100 M after hard run.
7 6 PRESTO (CJ048) D Whyte -- Standard jump, 4 to 5Ls away on rails in middle stages, used nothing to bend, not much room early straight and steadied 200 M, closed well clear.
8 10 FOREVER ELATION (CK215) H W Lai B On speed from outset, sat behind lead group 2 to 3Ls back on rails, no excuses to bend, came to inside but peaked final 200 M, just held ground in run to line.
9 8 QUICK TOUCH (CJ196) Y T Cheng XB/CP1/TT Began poorly, raced keenly 7Ls or so back on fence, still in rear division and in traffic on turn, took inside runs but finish was poor final 300 M.
10 7 POLYGOLD (CK309) K W Leung -- Tardy into stride, positioned behind midfield 5 to 6Ls back, quiet time to bend, very one paced in straight.
11 2 SUPER PISTACHIO (CL099) M Chadwick TT1 Began with purpose from a wide alley, worked hard early 3 wide, eventually crossed to be 2 wide outside leader, struggling turning, faded when workload took toll.
12 4 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) A Gryder B-/TT Led soon after start, handed up when challengers continued, overraced behind them thereafter, still behind leader to bend, didn't let down in straight.
13 11 REGENCY WINNER (CK410) W C Marwing -- Drifted back to rear division, raced 8Ls back at tail, urged along 3 wide on bend, found little in straight.
14 13 MASTER KEY (CK387) Z Purton -- Speed early, raced freely and pressed early leader, continued to race keenly when took up front, folded at 200 M after early work.
