1 8 QUICK TOUCH (CJ196) Y T Cheng -- 3-wide with cover around midfield and 3Ls or 4Ls behind pace until home straight, quickened up well down centre of track to lead 50 M out, readily. (Lame next day.)
2 2 WEI HAI INVINCIBLE (CH258) K T Yeung SR/TT Box-seated in 2nd or 3rd just 1L or so behind the speed until home straight, led 300 M out, grabbed by winner 50 M out and just held 2nd.
3 1 VIKING TOR (CE207) M W Leung CP No early pace, 6Ls behind in 10th at 1000 M, edged closer turning in when briefly without clear running, stayed on well, just missed 2nd.
4 9 MANY GAINS (CJ051) D Whyte -- 1L back in 3rd at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 3rd off last bend, given every chance to at least place but lacked the acceleration.
5 6 DUMBARTON ROCK (CJ228) F Coetzee TT In 5th between 3Ls and 4Ls from the speed out 2-wide through to home straight, under pressure turning in, one-paced when it mattered.
6 3 BULLISH WIN (CH197) K L Chui TT On fence 7Ls off pace in 11th at 1000 M when ridden along and 6Ls down into home straight, one-paced in the finish.
7 5 ENCHANTED (CE065) O Doleuze TT 5Ls off pace in midfield out 2-wide at 1000 M and similarly placed into final stretch, never likely to get much closer.
8 12 BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) C K Tong -- No early pace, 3-wide with cover about 6Ls behind early pace, 11th turning for home, made some minor late ground without threatening principals.
9 4 MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) D Beadman B Slowly away, on fence 4Ls behind speed at 1000 M, 2Ls back in 4th at top of straight, 1L back in 3rd at 200 M but his run soon peaked.
10 14 FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) S K Sit -- Went back to 11Ls last from widest gate, still struggling in rear turning for home, offered very little.
11 13 CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) H W Lai TT Led by 1L out 2-wide at 1000 M, crossed to fence 800 M and still 1L clear off last turn, headed 300 M out and yielded ground.
12 10 SUPER BABY (CH227) M Du Plessis B1/TT Slowly away, 8Ls back in 12th at the 1000 M and still well back and widest (5-wide) into last turn, never likely to play a significant role.
13 7 LUMINOUS (CE300) W M Lai -- Caught 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls back in 4th at halfway and further behind entering home straight, weakened final 200 M.
14 11 QUEST FOR LOVE (CE242) G Boss B Went back from wide gate, 9Ls off pace when one from rear at 800 M, in 10th about 5Ls behind off last bend, closer at 200 M but no extra late on.
