1 5 FANTASTIC CHOICE (CJ216) O Doleuze -- Began evenly, positioned nicely in running line 3 to 4Ls away, always travelling well, made a 4 wide run approaching bend, let down nicely and did it comfortably over concluding stages.
2 9 SUPER SNIPPETS (CG217) D Whyte B Moderate jump as usual, ended up 4Ls away on rails behind midfield, back between runners on bend, followed winner in straight, clear final 150 M and did best work late.
3 10 VALUE CHOICE (CG213) K T Yeung B Fast away, used up early to lead, steadied tempo once in front, held a narrow advantage on bend, kicked on turning, overhauled at 150 M but stuck on gamely for placing.
4 1 VICTORY CONQUEROR (CJ230) Y T Cheng TT Bounced out into a prominent spot, raced 3Ls back on fence, had a soft run to bend, angled 2 wide turning, held up for a considerable distance on straightening, made nice late ground to make frame.
5 2 MACHO EXPRESSO (CH261) W C Marwing B Standard jump, pressed on from a wide alley, well positioned in running line, 2Ls back, improved 3 wide on circle, kept on gamely in straight but just lacked dash last furlong.
6 8 HAPPY AMBASSADOR (CH286) B Prebble B Restrained from a wide alley, ended up 5 to 6Ls away on rails towards rear, saved ground throughout and improved on inside of circle, made even progress late without threatening.
7 3 CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) E Saint-Martin XB1 Began well from a low draw, had nice trail on leaders back despite some early pace, right there on turning, didn't dash but simply held ground in straight.
8 6 LASER TIGER (CG251) K L Chui CP Slow into stride, ended up in running line just behind midfield 5Ls away, made a 3 wide effort on bend, continued on at same pace in straight.
9 7 TIGER RIDGE (CD084) H W Lai B/TT Tardy to begin, positioned in rear division 6Ls from top end, always well back between horses to bend, lacked dash but made steady progress in straight.
10 12 WHATAFANTASY (CH267) M Du Plessis B/TT Taken back from awkward alley, raced 3 wide 6Ls or so away, always well back, made better progress in straight, never threatened.
11 4 WINE WIN (CG018) G Mosse -- First to hit ground, worked early to hold a spot outside leader, improved to be on terms with leader on bend, folded inside 150 M.
12 11 DR POSSI (CE288) C W Wong -- No speed and drifted back from a wide alley, posted 3 and 4 wide at tail 6 to 7Ls back, never likely on bend, no progress in straight.
