1 2 PRESTO (CJ048) D Whyte -- Began with rest, drove up to land spot on leaders back, travelled well throughout, plenty to offer turning, took gap at 300 M and let down well, held advantage in run to line.
2 11 OSVALDO (CK075) C K Tong TT Taken back from a wide gate, ended up 7Ls away in 2-wide line, pace not ideal and difficult to settle, in traffic turning, dashed sharply at 300 M when run emerged, failed to chase down winner final 50 M.
3 3 RICE FIELD (CE134) Y T Cheng TT Allowed to drift back from awkward alley, raced 5-6Ls back at tail, still well back turning, produced a big finish making many lengths down outside to take placing.
4 7 MELLIFLUOUS (CH212) J Victoire V-/XB-/H- Restrained early, raced 3-wide in last few 8Ls back, had a trail to bend, 4Ls back on turning, made good progress between horses in straight to make frame.
5 9 CHATER D'CAT (CK119) W C Marwing -- Even break, pushed on but posted 3-wide without cover 2Ls back, did too much work to bend, kept coming in straight but early work took effect and emptied final 100 M.
6 5 FERRO BEAU (CG244) M Du Plessis -- No early pace, ended up 8Ls away on rails, pace not ideal to bend, never really saw daylight in straight and was not properly tested.
6 6 SOLAR ENERGY (CJ105) Z Purton -- Well enough to begin, assumed prominent spot 1 out 1 back, had fair run to bend, held up 400 M to 150 M, just held ground when clear.
8 8 MOMENTOUS (CJ238) O Doleuze B Fastest out, pressed on to take up running, set even tempo to bend, challenged turning, kept on to 200 M before losing advantage and just held ground thereafter.
9 1 MEDIC FORTUNE (CK057) K C Leung -- Showed good early pace, lead briefly before electing to take trail on leaders back, eased outside leader on bend, challenged for front to 200 M but didn't have extra and faded out.
10 13 WIN-A-LOT (CJ124) B Doyle B-/XB/V1 No early pace, ended up 6Ls back on fence, not helped by pace, 3Ls down when field bunched up approaching turn, limited room to 200 M, lacked a dash when run emerged final furlong.
11 4 STREET CAT (CK037) K T Yeung TT Began fairly, slotted in to running line 5Ls back, moved 3-wide with cover on circle, shifted wider on turning but flattened at 300 M and lacked required finish late. (Lame next day.)
12 10 LOCAL POWER (CH296) C W Wong -- Out in line, unable to drop in, caught 4-wide 7Ls back early, made a looping run 5-wide without cover on circle, unable to sustain effort and tired last 250 M.
13 14 KING POWER (CJ334) H W Lai -- Reasonable jump, posted 4-wide without cover in mid-section, struggling on turn, folded soon after straightening.
