1 2 AMAZING FEELING (V031) Z Purton B/XB Away well then slotted 2L behind leader on settling. Pushed forward on straightening, gradually narrowing the gap to win on the line.
2 10 MR KOOL (T335) B Prebble B/E/TT Pressed forward from wide gate to lead on settling before crossing to fence passing 1300m. Kicked 2L clear along back stretch, kept on strongly in straight but run down on line.
3 5 GREAT JOY (T338) J Moreira -- Began well, not pushed, settling ahead of midfield along fence. Swung wide into straight, picked up momentum, doing best work final 150m.
4 1 NEVER BETTER (T140) U Rispoli PC Jumped well, ridden forward to grab one-out, one-back position 3L from leader. Put under pressure turning for home but unable close gap, finishing one-paced.
5 9 SOUL ACHIEVER (S133) K K Chiong V/TT Away nicely, taken to fence, stalking pace 4L from leader. Stayed on fence around turn, made some headway early in straight before turning one-pace final 200m.
6 12 GENTRY (V042) K Teetan XB Off OK, pressed forward before checked at first turn, settling in midfield but wide. Taken wider on straightening for home but only one-paced.
7 8 ROCK THE TREE (P272) C Schofield B Jumped with field but allowed to find feet, dropping to rear despite slow early pace. Still well back on straightening and only one-paced in straight.
8 3 WINASWEWISH (T385) O Doleuze B/TT Crowded and lost ground at start, taken to rail while drifting back towards rear. Made some progress around turn but only one-paced in straight.
9 4 CASA MASTER (T160) H T Mo B/TT Off Ok, no pace, dropping to rear between horses. Remained well back to straight, under pressure 500m out but showed little.
10 6 HALL OF FAME (V309) S Clipperton B Pressed forward from widest draw but raced ungenerously when taken in for cover passing 1300m. Failed to respond to rider's urgings in straight and eased down when beaten.
11 11 JOLLY AMBER (V392) M L Yeung V Began fairly, no pace, dropping to rear but 3-wide. Kept wide along back stretch and made no impression in straight.
12 7 GREAT TREASURE (T380) H W Lai B/H Jumped OK but restrained and shifted across behind runners, settling last but 3-wide. Clear last along back stretch and never in the hunt.
