1 5 ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) O Doleuze P1/TT 4Ls off pace and 3-wide with cover leaving back straight, closer turning for home and swept to the lead out wide 200 M out, pulled clear.
2 7 PRETTY TOUCH (CK252) Y T Cheng -- 4Ls back in 6th or so at the 800 M, held up off the final turn but ran on well for 2nd once clear while others were held up, solid debut nonetheless.
3 8 CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) W M Lai BO Held up two from the rear about 5Ls from the pace until the last turn, held up for a run until well inside final furlong, nicked 3rd once clear.
4 4 TAIJI SPIRIT (CD185) G Mosse V/TT 'One-out-one-back' 2Ls off pace in 5th through to straightening, had every chance to at least place as others behind were blocked for run.
5 11 THAT'S IT (CE223) H W Lai B Half a length back in 2nd down the back but pressured to retain this proximity entering home straight and at 200 M, weakened inside the distance.
6 10 MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) M L Yeung PC/TT Taken back as usual, one from rear and 5Ls behind the pace taking last turn, held up for a fair chunk of the straight and only clear late.
7 6 JOLLY GOOD FORTUNE (CD274) B Prebble B/TT 3-wide no cover throughout, 1L back in 3rd at the 800 M, in touch until the 200 M after which the extra work exacted its toll.
8 3 KUNG FU (CE289) W C Marwing P Soon led on fence by half a length, a neck to the good but niggled along turning for home, headed before the furlong pole and yielded ground quickly.
9 1 MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) D Beadman XB 3-back on the rails about 5Ls from the speed at halfway, going well turning in but never saw the light of day in the straight, ignore the run.
10 2 THUNDER DANCING (CG250) K C Leung B Box-seated in 3rd on fence 1L or 2Ls until home turn, bottled up on the rails all the way to the line, checked also at 200 M, ignore the run.
11 9 POWER RETURN (CK039) K L Chui -- Fractious in gates and always rearward, pressured to remain within 6Ls of the pace at 600 M, hung out turning for home, laboured performance.
