1 7 BUDDIES (C019) M Chadwick H Began well to lead from a wide gate, pressed forward hard to cross for the rails 900 metres out, held 1L advantage around home bend and further ahead early in straight, hung on well to the line.
2 8 TOURBILLON DIAMOND (E054) A Badel B/TT Settled in prominent position on the rail, inconvenienced and dropped to 3L back in 5th coming onto home bend, renewed effort down the inside after straightening, ran on steadily to be nearest at finish.
3 3 SKY DARCI (D088) J Moreira TT Settled towards the rear over 4L off the pace in 7th on the rail, saved ground turning for home, did not find much room the length of the straight, never nearer.
4 5 DUKE WAI (C188) V Borges B/H Travelled wide with the leaders in early stages, restrained over 2L back to 4th passing the 1200 metres, hung in badly inside the 300 metres, quickend to reach 2nd briefly over 200 metres out, unable to sustain effort closing stages.
5 4 CHAMPION'S WAY (C061) K Teetan P/TT Settled well back from a wide gate, went wide into home straight, improved near the centre of the track, did best work late.
6 1 SOUTHERN LEGEND (A252) Z Purton TT Niggled along just worse than midfield, in last few turning for home, kept on well to the line.
7 6 RUSSIAN EMPEROR (E198) C L Chau SR/XB/B2 Settled at the back from the widest gate, trailed the field into home straight, kept on same pace without quickening.
8 9 DECRYPT (D129) M L Yeung -- Well there on the rail alongside race leader, shifted one back for cover coming onto home bend, dropped away quickly out of contention after straightening.
9 2 MIGHTY GIANT (C470) M F Poon B Driven forward out wide in back straight, gained 2-wide in joint 2nd rounding home bend, folded up quickly after straightening. (Bled)
