1 2 YOUNG TURBO (CL416) D Whyte B- Behind leaders on fence early. Proved difficult to settle and dropped to midfield from 700 M. Rallied along the rail in the straight. Fought determinedly closing stages to get up on line.
2 6 DIAMOND RAINBOW (CL079) O Doleuze V-/B1 Trapped 3-wide with leaders early. Shifted 2-wide down the Rock. Every chance in the straight and battled gamely to the line. Just denied.
3 5 HOME WITH GLORY (CL171) B Doyle B 3-wide towards rear to home turn. Swung widest and was 4Ls down turning into home. Covered substantial ground in the straight and was nearest at finish.

5 10 KINGSTON ELITE (CL274) W M Lai -- Well enough away. Elected to race 2-wide ahead of midfield first turn. Pressured 500 M and was well positioned to strike in the straight. One-paced to conclude.
6 7 COUNTRY MAGIC (CH069) N Callan B1/TT 2-wide behind midfield to home straight. Ran on fairly well until crowded for room and lost running final 50 M.
7 1 SURFER BOY (CL306) Y T Cheng -- Travelled 3-wide and without cover ahead of midfield to home straight. Plugged on but not threatening. Weakened final stages.
