1 3 G-ONE LEADING (CE306) B Prebble -- Always nicely placed on the fence, mostly 3-back in 4th or 5th and about 3Ls off speed until home straight, not much room 250 M out but barged through to lead 100 M out, driven out.
2 2 NEW COMMAND (CG135) C W Wong B Pressed on to lead by 1L on fence at 1100 M, a neck clear off final bend, headed by winner about 100 M out and no extra late.
3 4 PILLOW KING (CE291) O Doleuze B Bounded at start, in midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace 2-wide with cover until home turn, stayed on fairly out wide to grab a place.
4 10 BAYVIEW LAD (CC148) Y T Cheng B/TT 4Ls back and 2-wide in 6th at 1100 M, 2Ls back in 4th taking home turn, stayed on fairly well but still missed a place.
5 11 JOY AND TREASURE (CD251) H W Lai B-/V2/TT Steadied on fence when 4Ls back in 5th at 1100 M, back in 7th at final bend same margin from the front, kept on at same pace in the finish.
6 1 GREEN IDEAL (CG013) H K Yim B Briefly disputed early lead before sitting 2Ls off pace in 2nd or 3rd from 1100 M to home turn, a neck down with place hopes 200 M out but tired in closing stages.
7 7 HONG KONG GEM (CE114) A Starke -- Towards rear about 7Ls off the front at 1000 M, over 4Ls down in 8th or so on home turn, one-paced.
8 8 WE'RE BUDDIES (CC142) E Saint-Martin B/SR Switched across from wide gate to fence to be 10Ls off pace at 1200 M, 8Ls last at the 400 M and made some minor late headway.
9 5 FAIRPLAY (CC258) F Coetzee TT Steadied at 1000 M when 5Ls off speed and 5-back on fence in 7th, niggled along in rear turning for home when 6Ls behind, didn't find much.
10 9 OPTIC KING (CE139) D Nikolic CP/XB Yet another very weak effort, 2-wide and no worse than 2Ls behind a very slow tempo in 2nd or 3rd until the home turn, petered out inside final 200 M.
11 6 SWEETIE (CB036) M W Leung B2/TT Mostly 3-wide no cover, about 5Ls off pace at halfway near the back, never on terms.
