1 8 SPRING SUN (CJ128) E Saint-Martin -- Towards rear about 6Ls off pace at 700 M, accelerated well from top of the homestretch to lead at the 50 M, stayed on well.
2 13 CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) W M Lai BO 5Ls back in 9th at 800 M, closer and 4-wide turning for home, picked up well to dispute the lead 100 M out, couldn't go with the winner.
3 9 ROCKET POWER (CH136) K L Chui B/TT 2-wide a neck back in 2nd at the 800 M, vied for the lead until the 200 M, kept on and only just missed out on 2nd.
4 3 EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) B Prebble B 2-wide and 3Ls back in 6th at 800 M, 2Ls down in similar position taking last bend, held same position on the run-in.
5 4 GUNNER MAC (CJ192) B Fayd'herbe -- Went back from wide gate, 7Ls off pace in 12th in middle stages, 5Ls down turning in, continued to make good headway out wide.
6 1 FEVER PITCH (CH326) C Soumillon B1/H1 Slowest away, 10Ls last at the 800 M, hung out and 5Ls down into stretch, ran on fairly well down centre of track, never nearer.
7 6 KING PRAWN SUPREME (CJ076) D Whyte B Better than midfield and 3-wide with cover within 2Ls of the pace until home turn, had his chance to place, not ridden out final 50 M.
8 5 EVER BEAUTY (CJ161) D Beadman -- Mostly 3-back on fence and 4Ls off pace in midfield until home turn, without clear running until the 200 M, might have finished marginally closer.
9 2 FLY HIGH (CH126) Z Purton -- 5Ls down in 10th at the 800 M, 5-wide (widest of all) entering home straight when 3Ls off the pace, couldn't improve much further.
10 7 PLAN B (CJ123) G Mosse -- 3-wide no cover about half a length from the pace at the 900 M, led at top of home straight and headed inside final furlong, tired inside final 100 M.
11 10 NORDIC STAR (CH302) H W Lai TT One from rear about 8Ls off pace in middle stages, 4Ls last at the 200 M, always chasing the majority of the field.
12 11 MIRACLE FORTUNE (CH292) C K Tong -- Box-seated 2Ls off pace in 4th from the 800 M to home straight, one-paced thereafter.
13 14 REUNION (CE258) M W Leung TT Led by a neck on fence from the 800 M but headed at top of the home straight and steadily fizzled out.
14 12 SUPER GENERAL (CJ107) K M Chin H/TT Very keen and 4-wide no cover at 1000 M, 4-wide turning for home when over 2Ls back in mid-division and soon beaten.
