1 6 AMAZING AGILITY (V192) K Teetan SR/TT Not hurried early stages, sat towards the rear 5Ls off a slow pace, bustled along 500M, closed off strongly final 200M to lead in the shadow of the post.
2 4 WINWIN RUBY (A120) Z Purton B Travelled smoothly just behind leaders, on straightening chased strongly, improved to the lead 150M, couldn't hold off fast finishing winner late.
3 8 GORGEOUS AGAIN (V326) J Moreira B/H/TT Awkwardly away, held up behind midfield 3-4Ls off a slow pace, improved along the 3-path from 600M, kept coming to the line for close 3rd.
4 3 SERGEANT TITANIUM (S332) B Prebble -- Raced prominently outside leader, pace slow for the first half, took over 500M leading the sprint home, headed 150M, faded to 4th.
5 5 WHITE MAGIC (V111) T Berry P-/H/TT Chased leaders in a slowly run race, kept up the chase to 150M when crowded for room and lost a bit of momentum, could be closer.
6 9 HO HO FEEL (T029) C Y Ho H/XB Dropped back to the rear from the outside gate, checked near 800M and raced ungenerously for some distance, took a while to get going inside 400M, boxed on well late.
7 7 FRIENDS OF NANJING (V140) K C Leung -- Held up near the rear, not helped by the slow tempo middle stages, didn't quite finish off when driven out in straight.
8 10 GRAND HARBOUR (P421) W M Lai B/H/TT Crossed to the lead passing 1100M, slowed down the pace once in front, lost lead inside 500M, tired mid-straight and weakened towards the line.
9 2 RENAISSANCE ART (T197) N Callan H In mid-division 3Ls off the pace in 5th, inconvenienced when pace slackened 900M, couldn't keep up with rivals inside 300M. Never a threat.
10 1 HAPPILABABY (T315) H W Lai B/TT Settled at the rear of the field, checked 850M, off the bridle and didn't travel comfortably from this point thereon, detached top of straight and eased over final 300M. (Unacceptable Performance.)
