1 8 JUMBO LUCK (V068) J Moreira -- Crossed to the lead passing 1000M, taken on by rivals in the fore, quickened up strongly when asked 300M and soon opened up an unassailable lead, coasted home final 50M.
2 11 TRAVEL DATUK (V235) K Teetan B Quickly away from draw 1, took cover behind eventual winner, shifted out from the box seat nearing 300M, tried hard but couldn't get closer to winner, held 2nd comfortably though.
3 5 NUCLEAR POWER (A244) M F Poon H Not hurried after the jump and eased back to near the rear, 5Ls off leader at 400M, stayed on mildly for non-threatening 3rd.
4 6 BRAVE LEGEND (A260) K C Leung -- Began well, dropped back to mid-division before the turn, kept on steadily for remote 4th, no impression on first 2.
5 10 STAR OF JOY (A171) Z Purton -- Jumped fairly to be about 5th on settling, 3-wide over home turn but always within striking distance, fought on same pace only in straight, no threat from 200M.
6 7 HAIR TRIGGER (A215) S Clipperton B/TT- Chased leaders along the 2-path, couldn't accelerate enough passing 400M, out of contention mid-straight.
7 1 FIONESAY (V256) N Callan H/TT Ridden forward, up with pace along the 2-path, couldn't sustain run and faded passing 350M.
8 2 ARM RUNDA (V248) U Rispoli B/TT Began fairly, ridden along early stages trying to improve its position but became difficult to settle making the turn at 900M, towards the rear turning in, couldn't pick up and eased late stages.
9 4 WINNING FAITH (A253) C Schofield B/XB/TT Caught wide early, taken across behind runners before the turn, 6Ls off the pace and last turning in, couldn't quicken from the rear, never involved.
10 9 PERFECT CHOICE (A216) D Whyte TT Began fairly, sat back in a 3-wide position towards the rear, found nothing under pressure passing 400M, eased when no chance.
11 3 MYTHICAL EMPEROR (T419) B Prebble B/TT Unable to cross from widest draw, caught 3 wide no cover outside the pace, weakened rapidly passing 400M, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)
