1 10 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) M Du Plessis B Checked early on in rear, 10Ls back in rear at halfway and still a long way back and widest turning for home, stayed on best to lead close home.
2 14 GLOBAL WAY (CG158) H W Lai V Close-up but 3-wide no cover until the 800 M, a neck down in 2nd on the circle and led 300 M out, grabbed by the winner inside the final 30 M.
3 11 SUPER POWER (CH117) M Chadwick TT Settled 9th or so about 8Ls off pace at halfway and only marginally closer turning in, ran on quite well close home for 3rd.
4 4 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) B Prebble CP Prominent before easing back to 3-back on the rails position down back straight, 3Ls down in 5th off last turn, had every chance to place.
4 8 DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) C K Tong B2 Held the "one-out-one-back" position from 1000 M to home turn about 2Ls off lead in 4th, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M and no excuse for not placing.
6 13 WONDER KID (CH233) M W Leung P/TT Soon led on fence, led by no more than 1L from 1400 M to final turn, headed 300 M out and tipped out of the money inside final 100 M.
7 12 CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) T H So B/TT Midfield about 7Ls behind in middle stages, pushed out 4-wide no cover on the circle and ran on fairly to be nearest at the finish.
8 1 SIR LAGO (CH268) M L Yeung B Box-seated on rails in 4th at 1400 M, hung out at halfway, pressured and 3Ls down in 4th turning for home, very one-paced to conclude.
9 2 CENTENNIAL SMILE (CG165) D Whyte -- Went back from wide gate, 10Ls down in rear at halfway and a little closer into final 400 M, not much room inside final 100 M and not tested.
10 9 SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) W M Lai TT Never travelling well in rear, about 12Ls adrift at the 800 M, plodded on only fairly in the final 400 M and never nearer.
11 6 SURE GAIN (CJ038) Y T Cheng XB- Always rearward, 9Ls back in 10th at halfway and similar entering home straight, remained in same position despite retrieving a little late ground.
12 5 PURE ALPHA (CH008) B Doyle CP/XB Slowly away, niggled along in 8th when 7Ls down at halfway, one-paced and beaten before the 200 M.
13 3 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) Z Purton -- Went back from wide gate, about 10Ls off pace at 800 M, 8Ls down off last bend, nearly fell when tight for room 100 M out, eased down afterwards.
14 7 LIMONCELLO (CH178) K T Yeung B/XB Never going well, 4Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, about 5Ls down in 7th at the final bend, dropped out very tamely. (Questioned for poor performance.)
