1 3 MASTER RIO (CK188) O Doleuze -- Ridden early and took box seat. Rallied on home straight and hit front final furlong. Hung on well to score victory.
2 7 BET ON ME (CK376) M Du Plessis -- Parked one-off behind leader to home straight. Kept giving but failed to gain ground on winner.
3 9 MANY GAINS (CJ051) B Prebble TT Urged early but trapped 3-wide behind pace group. Slotted one-out-one-back home turn. Ran on home straight for 3rd without seriously troubling the front pair.
4 1 FREE AND EASY (CL049) H W Lai V Led on fence until headed final furlong. Plugged on to finish 4th narrowly.
5 5 MAKE IT (CL139) B Doyle CP Trailed field early. Progressed from home turn. Swung widest and was 5Ls down on straightening. Covering ground steadily and just failed to make frame.
6 6 SURFER BOY (CL306) Y T Cheng -- Soon eased towards rear. Improved to race behind midfield home turn. One-paced to conclude.
7 4 MASTER TOUCH (CL108) J Lloyd XB Raced behind midfield. Dropped towards rear rounding home turn. Awkwardly placed 300M. Made up some late ground thereafter.
8 8 RAINBOW SEEKER (CK300) T H So B- At rear throughout. Never likely.
