1 6 NATURAL ECHO (CB326) B Prebble B Led or disputing early pace, 1L down in 2nd from 1000 M to home turn, led again 200 M out, scrambled in for the win.
2 7 RED FORTUNE (CE192) O Doleuze B Settled in 10th place about 8Ls or so from the front until halfway, 5-wide turning for home, ran on strongly but post came a few strides too soon.
3 5 WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) W M Lai SR/V Forced to work too hard to lead on fence by 1L at 1100 M, same margin clear turning for home, headed at 200 M and just hung on for 3rd.
4 9 FLYING PROFILE (CD168) M W Leung CP Dwelt at the start, at least 8Ls off pace in rear and hanging until home turn, without clear passage at 200 M, ran on fairly late still hanging.
5 1 SPRING SMILES (CG269) D Whyte B 2-wide and worse than midfield in 9th about 5Ls off pace at halfway, 4-wide and under pressure turning for home, checked at 100 M but unlikely to figure in quinella.
6 12 CHALLENGER (CE138) H W Lai TT Nice position in midfield 2-wide about 4Ls off speed until final turn, outpaced and no excuses.
7 8 DANEPRINT (CC221) Y T Cheng B In 7th position 4-back on fence about 4Ls or 5Ls from start to 600 M out, made some minor late ground along the inner.
8 3 STAR PRODIGY (CD294) S Dye P/TT Had the box-seat position on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd passing post the first time, still right there turning for home but lacked any sort of kick.
9 4 CAPTAIN BUNNY (CD367) F Coetzee -- In 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th from 1800 M out to home turn, very weak in the finish.
10 11 NAMJONG MONEY (CG176) G Boss B One from rear about 8Ls off pace until home turn, never remotely dangerous.
11 10 KNIGHT TEMPLAR (CC021) M Nunes B/XB Midfield before being caught 3-wide no cover at halfway about 4Ls off pace, extra work took its toll in the home straight.
12 2 SUPER POWER (CH117) C K Tong B/TT Checked on fence early on, 3-back on fence at halfway in midfield about 4Ls off speed, faded out tamely in homestretch.
