1 1 FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) D Whyte B2 Led by a neck on the fence at 1000 M, going well when clear by 1L turning for home, always holding a decisive break from then on.
2 6 LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) B Doyle -- Handy position in 'one-out-one-back' spot through to the 600 M, tight for room on straightening, clear 350 M out but couldn't get to the winner.
3 3 ENCOSTA DON (CH305) B Prebble -- 3-back on fence in midfield at halfway and similar off last bend, stayed on fairly well along the inner for a place.
4 8 CONQUEROR (CE270) S K Sit V Midfield with cover no worse than 3Ls or 4Ls from the pace before the home turn, had every chance to place but just scraped in for 4th.
5 5 CLASSIC REUNION (CH166) D Beadman B/SR Around 10th and 5Ls from the early speed, crept a little closer taking last bend, made some nice late ground out wide and barely missed 4th.
6 14 MOONGLOW (CG008) W M Lai TT Towards rear at least 4Ls or 5Ls from the pace down the back, without clear running off final curve, soon clear and one-paced on the run-in.
7 4 CASH MONEY (CH030) C W Wong H Went back from widest gate, never travelling well in rear and 5Ls adrift swinging into the straight, never got to the principals.
8 12 GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) C K Tong -- Rearward at least 4Ls or 5Ls from the speed until the straight, failed to make much of an impact in the final 400 M.
9 11 SAVUTE (CE326) O Doleuze V Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls off pace on fence at 1000 M, in 2nd turning for home but lacked any acceleration when the tempo quickened.
10 2 GUAN DAO (CH211) G Mosse -- 3-wide with cover around midfield in middle stages when 4Ls from the pace, 4-wide off home bend, very weak inside final 200 M. (Tactic questioned.)
11 13 MEDALLION (CG322) H W Lai B/TT Over-raced for most of back straight when 4-wide no cover in rear, 5Ls last and 5-wide (widest of all) into the stretch, no impression.
12 7 GALLANT HUSSAR (CJ017) M Du Plessis -- Disappointing run, keen at first then niggled along in midfield at halfway, pressured and 4Ls behind wheeling for home, soon beaten. (Questioned for poor performance.)
13 9 BREEZY WILL (CK010) E Saint-Martin TT 3-wide no cover before slipping in 2-wide and half a length back in 2nd at 1000 M, still close-up at top of home straight but quickly dropped out. (Bled.)
14 10 QUICK MONEY (CJ246) M W Leung B Performance deemed unacceptable, trapped 3-wide no cover when 1L back in 3rd at 800 M, hard pressed to lie up turning in, quickly left behind.
