2 9 MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) F Coetzee XB/TT Ordinary getaway, soon mustered to drive through and take a sit behind leader, carted along on back of a solid speed, held up behind horses at 350 M, dashed well to get close late finishing an unlucky 2nd.
3 13 SUPER POWER (CH117) K L Chui B-/TT No early toe, ended up in rearward division 7Ls of pace, suited by speed of race, improved between horses on turning, made many lengths from an impossible spot to take 3rd placing.
4 12 FILEBO (CE214) H W Lai H Slow into stride, settled next to last nearly 8Ls from lead, suited by fast early pace, still well back to bend, weaved between horses in straight and closed race off best to make frame.
5 7 DIAGHILEV (CH241) E Saint-Martin B2/TT1 Began with more purpose, pressed on to race outside leader, did share of work with solid pace, improved to challenge leader on turning, took over briefly at 450 M, stayed on at same pace when headed after 300 M.
6 4 WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) W M Lai B/TT Well enough away, slotted in to 1 out 1 back spot, raced keenly after pace slackened on bend, made a 3 wide run on turning, took over at 350 M, run ended at 200 M and faded last bit.

8 14 LUCKY CORDELIA (CD088) Y T Cheng B Began reasonably, settled close up but drifted back behind pace group, raced keenly 4Ls back thereafter, same margin back on turn, didn't have extra gear in straight and just held ground late.
9 10 RAMPANT LION (CH068) D Beadman B Began in line, drifted back to settle in rear division, raced 3 wide 8Ls back, aided by speed, still had job to do on turning, lacked a response and didn't run on in straight. (See Racing Incidents.)
10 5 GEM POWER (CH013) M W Leung TT Restrained from a wide gate, ended up racing 9Ls back in running line, aided by pace early, well back last on turning, made some even progress in straight passing a few tired runners late.
11 2 LIMONCELLO (CH178) D Whyte B-/TT- Began fairly, ended up in decent position 4Ls away on rails, used little thereafter, ridden along on bend, failed to find in straight and struggled away at same speed.
