1 6 NASA PEARL (CC068) O Doleuze -- Average break, drifted back as usual, raced at rear on rails 7Ls from them, lobbed along at tail to turn, swung 6 wide on turning, in contention at 250 M, swept passed them last 150 M to secure strong victory.
2 8 SPEEDING MOLLY (CC227) M W Leung SR/TT Jumped only fairly, settled worse than midfield 2nd 6Ls away in between runners on circle, tracked nicely behind them on circle, dream run presented and came with strong run with winner but found him a shade too good.
3 12 MAVERICK (CE199) W M Lai TT Average to leave gates, hard ridden to hold midfield position, steadily drove through to be only 3Ls back on rails at midpoint, tracked well to turn, didn't have clear run to 300 M, closed off nicely when clear.
4 3 TACTIC KING (CG081) B Prebble B2/TT Began nicely, proved difficult to settle early, pulled way forward to lead, raced behind leader from 1000 M, enjoyed nice run to turn, obtained dream split to challenge at 250 M, outsprinted last furlong but did well to make frame.
5 1 MASTERY (CC176) K T Yeung TT Began only fairly, assumed expected role near to last, raced 7Ls away 2 wide, began to circle 3 wide with trail from midpoint, angled 5 wide on turning in, closed race off steadily without threatening winner.
6 9 COTTON BALL (CD327) D Whyte -- Broke with them, pushed along into midfield spot, relaxed nicely 4Ls away in 2 wide spot, had easy trip to turn, amongst horses entering straight, showed a little at 250 M but lacked dash over concluding stages.
7 7 DR MORE (BV164) Y T Cheng -- Average to leave gates, displayed little early dash, raced on rails 6Ls away worse than midfield, on bridle behind them on turn, held up until 200 M, couldn't sprint with them when clear and just held ground to line.
8 11 MEATH (CE143) K L Chui SR/V Fastest into stride, hard ridden to challenge for front, posted 3 wide before crossing outside leader, raced at leaders' girth, applied pressure on turning in and lead them to 250 M, run ended and battled to line. (Dropped whip.)
9 5 WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) H W Lai SR/V1 Average to leave gates, unable to slot in and posted 3 wide just off midfield, had long run despite having cover 4 to 5Ls away, 3Ls down on turning, lacked a turn of foot when they sprinted, passed only tired runners late.
10 2 SMACKO (CG132) M Nunes -- Awkward to begin, soon re-gathered to challenge for early lead, eventually worked to lead passing 1000 M, didn't have much peace in front, under siege on turning, weakened out last 100 M.
11 4 COURAGEOUSHEART (CD202) F Coetzee B Began with rest, pressed on to take closer order, posted 3 wide without cover 3Ls away, always working in mid-section, not far away, 4 wide on turning, hard run took its toll and weakened out.
12 10 WONG'S SUCCESS (CE107) M Odendaal TT OK to begin, up amongst them early, had run of race in 1 out 1 back slot 2 to 3Ls away, eased out 3 wide on turn, there until 300 M, weakened noticably and dropped right out late.
