1 12 BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) A Delpech -- Settled in 3rd about 2Ls from the front down backstretch, vying for lead on straightening out 3-wide, led by a neck 250 M out, kept on for pressure.
2 1 DEERFIELD (CG038) D Whyte B 3Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, headway on the circle to lead at top of home straight, headed by winner 250 M out, always just held thereafter. (Distressed.)
3 14 KA KA SMART (CG042) S K Sit B/H Led early on, disputed the pace at halfway but 1L clear at 600 M, headed again at top of home straight, stayed on admirably for a place.
4 2 BUCCANEER (CH214) E Saint-Martin -- Worse than midfield with cover 7Ls from the speed at halfway, still well back and forced wide turning for home, ran on strongly, nearest at finish.
5 11 SHATIN WIN WIN (CE284) W M Lai H/TT Worse than midfield with cover 7Ls from the speed at halfway, 4Ls behind on straightening in midfield, couldn't make up enough ground.
6 13 TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) P H Lo B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
7 4 REAL PLEASURE (CJ021) G Mosse -- 3-wide no cover down backstretch when 5Ls or 6Ls back in 8th, closer but 5-wide turning for home, never dangerous from then on and yielded ground.
8 5 MOSHI MOSHI (CG255) D Beadman CP/TT Keen at the 1000 M when about 6Ls back in midfield, headway at top of home straight but failed to sustain the bid and weakened final 200 M.
9 6 SURE GAIN (CJ038) M W Leung -- Went back from wide gate, about 9Ls last early on, about 6Ls down in rear on straightening, never on terms.
10 3 LOHAN (CH279) Z Purton CP On fence 6Ls back in 6th at the 800 M, progress on the circle to be just 2Ls off the lead making final bend, found zero under pressure and soon beaten.
11 7 WINNING AHEAD (CJ018) M Nunes TT Went back from a wide gate, soon one from rear about 8Ls from the pace, improved on the circle and 4Ls back turning for home, soon beaten.
12 10 HEART TO HEART (CH160) H W Lai -- Disputed early tempo, 1L back in 2nd at the 600 M, a neck down in 2nd or 3rd turning in, steadily ceded ground.
13 9 TELECOM SIR (CH217) O Doleuze -- On fence about 7Ls off pace at 1000 M, advanced to midfield about 4Ls down making final turn, failed to sustain the bid and beaten by the 200 M.
14 8 PRIMIATA (CG226) B Prebble B/TT 4-wide no cover worse than mid-div 6Ls from the speed down the back, 6-wide (widest) and beaten turning for home in rear, soon eased down.
