1 6 BAUHINIA (CD118) F Coetzee PC 5Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at 1200M, driven along to get within 4Ls of the pace turning for home, still 2Ls down at 200 M, kept on well to lead final strides.
2 5 THREE CLUBS (CG149) O Doleuze -- 6Ls back in 8th at 1200 M, good headway on the circle out wider, 4-wide and 2Ls back in 4th off home turn, led about 250 M out, looked the winner before being overhauled final strides.
3 3 CENAMIRA (CD129) D Whyte B/TT With cover 8Ls back in 10th at 1100 M, improved on the circle to be 4-wide and 4Ls back in midfield turning for home, stayed on fairly to nick 3rd on the wire.
4 1 GLOBAL WAY (CG158) M Nunes H-/V1/TT1 Mostly caught 3-wide no cover, 3Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, improved to 1L down in 2nd off home turn, missed a place on the line after the tough trip.
5 10 SHANGHAI DELIGHT (CC352) H K Yim B Nice position 2Ls back in 3rd at 1200 M, still right there off final turn, 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, had every chance to figure, lacked the pick-up.
6 12 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) S Dye -- Blundered the start, 12Ls last in rear at 1000 M, 4-wide turning for home with 7Ls to make up, stayed on fairly out wider to be nearest at finish.
7 7 X-SPEED (CC341) W M Lai B On fence 5Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, ridden along to be 3Ls down in 4th off final turn, soon outpaced.
8 13 JOYFUL UNION (CE239) A Delpech B Slow start, niggled along in rear about 9Ls off pace at halfway, ordinary finish, never nearer.
9 8 STAR PRODIGY (CD294) Y T Cheng P/TT On fence 6Ls back in midfield at 1200 M, steadied out when 5Ls down off home turn, made no inroads in homestretch while hanging under pressure.
10 9 CAPABEL (CD195) K S Yu -- Always worse than midfield with cover, about 8Ls back at halfway and only slightly closer on straightening, cut no ice.
11 14 SMARTY (CE036) H W Lai P1/TT Slow away, 8Ls back in 9th at 1100 M, hard ridden to draw a little closer taking home turn, never likely to pass too many of those in front.
12 11 FIGS (CE141) K T Yeung B Disputed fast early tempo at 1200 M, persisted to lead at 900 M, 2Ls clear on circle but headed 300 M out and weakened.
13 4 DANZIGMOUNTAIN (CG139) E Saint-Martin B/TT Switched from widest gate to trail field in rear, 10Ls back in 12th at 1200 M, same position but 6Ls back at final turn, stayed there.
14 2 TIMBER CITY (CC031) K L Chui B Led on fence early on, set a fast pace before handing up advantage at 900 M, began to give ground on the circle and well beaten before home turn, unacceptable performance.
