1 | 6 | SOUTHERN SPRINGS (P139) | D Whyte | B/TT | Rated 1 out 1 back. Peeled out rounding the home turn and after hitting the front near the 250m, was never headed and drew away in the run to the wire. |
2 | 2 | HAPPY KAISER (N130) | O Doleuze | -- | Stalked the leader on the pain, had cover. Got a saloon passage along the fence in the straight and stayed on gamely. |
3 | 3 | BAMBOO DANCE (M327) | T Angland | B | Not the best away settling midfield the fence with cover. Made good progress down the running. |
4 | 11 | SPICY SIAM (N090) | T H So | B/TT | Slow to begin, settling behind midfield, the fence had cover. Railed up in the straight and closed off steadily. |
5 | 10 | NAMJONG TURBO (N250) | K C Leung | SR | Raced wide early, rolled forward to eventually travel outside the leader in 2nd position after the 1000m, 1 off no cover. Gave way over the last 100m. |
6 | 12 | HUMONGUS (CJ265) | K Teetan | B/TT | Ridden along early and took up a position 3 deep with cover worse than midfield. Kept battling away right to the line. |
7 | 13 | TOP POWER (M272) | W M Lai | -- | Parked midfield, 3 wide with cover. Kept on one paced in the run to the post. |

10 | 5 | BURGUNDY MAC (M205) | W C Marwing | B | Parked 2nd last on the fence with cover. Showed no dash in the home straight and never looked likely. |
