1 8 CAGA BOY (CG060) K T Yeung -- Best away and led early, handed up to race 3-back on fence 3Ls off pace from 1000 M, closer on straightening, battled gamely to wrest the lead final strides.
2 12 SUPER BABY (CH227) M Du Plessis TT Slowest out, with cover in midfield 5Ls off pace at halfway, flanked winner turning in, led about 100 M out, hung in close home, headed final strides.
3 6 NORTH HILL (CJ082) B Prebble -- 3Ls back in 5th with cover at 1000 M, attacked out 3-wide turning for home and led 300 M out, no response to quinella pair when headed about 100 M out.
4 5 MASCOT FORTUNE (CH221) G Mosse XB Box-seated in 4th at 1200 M, shuffled back to midfield off last turn, ran on well again in the straight but no chance with leading trio.
5 11 PACHINKO (CH208) G Boss B/TT Worse than midfield about 7Ls behind at halfway, made some good late ground through the field but too late for a significant impact.
6 3 CHINA WIN (CJ147) Y T Cheng B Taken back from widest gate, towards rear 7Ls adrift at 1000 M and not much closer turning in, made a little late ground, never nearer. (Questioned for poor performance.)
7 1 WIN AGAIN (CD371) D Beadman B/SR Restrained from wide gate, left 3-wide without cover from the 800 M when 7Ls back in 12th, ran on okay in the straight without really threatening. (Tactic questioned.)
8 9 ENCHANTED (CE065) F Coetzee TT Didn't break well, keen early when about 5Ls back in midfield, 3-wide no cover from the 800 M, one-paced in the homestretch.
9 10 BRILLIANT CHAPTER (CJ100) Z Purton -- Close-up until home straight, 1L back in 4th at the 1200 M and in 3rd just 1L down turning for home, hanging on 200 M out but weak inside final furlong.
10 4 FAVOURITE SUPREME (CH203) W M Lai TT Got back as usual, 9Ls last 900 M out, 7Ls off pace turning for home, made some very minor late progress through beaten horses.
11 7 CALIFORNIA LUCK (CG215) K L Chui TT 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1200 M, still close up but under pressure to maintain proximity off last bend, steadily gave ground.
12 13 WINBO (CJ085) D Whyte -- Disputed early pace out 3-wide no cover, led by 1L 600 M out, headed 300 M out and weakened rapidly.
13 2 FERRO BEAU (CG244) C K Tong -- Trapped 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, keen early also, 4Ls back in midfield 900 M out, 4-wide off last bend, soon struggling and beaten 200 M out. (Heart irregularity.)
