1 1 CIRCUIT HERO (CG304) K C Leung B/TT Travelled well in mid-division 3Ls from pace until home straight when slightly held up, quickened up once clear to lead 50 M out and settle matters.
2 14 SAVUTE (CE326) T H So V- Soon led on fence and 1L clear from 1000 M to final bend, joined 150 M out but fought on well and only grabbed by the winner 50 M out.
3 3 FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) D Whyte B Raced in 2nd out 2-wide with cover and 1L back in 2nd until home turn, every chance of quinella at least 200 M out, couldn't find enough.
4 4 LUFENG FORTUNE (CJ140) E Saint-Martin B 6Ls back in 10th with cover at halfway and same off last turn, recovered some fair late ground, may want further and/or stronger tempo.
5 8 LUCKY BO BO (CJ350) H W Lai -- Box-seated 2Ls back in 4th on fence at 800 M, under pressure at 500 M despite this soft trail and plodded on home at the one pace, might have done better.
6 5 PRECISION MAGIC (CJ262) M L Yeung -- Caught 4-wide no cover initially, with cover 4Ls back in mid-division at 800 M, not much closer off last turn and the 200 M, remained same distance away.
7 9 BIG KAHUNA (CG177) Z Purton B Slowest away, unbalanced at 1200 M, 3-back on rails about 4Ls from the lead at halfway and off final turn, one-paced to wrap up.
8 2 MAVERICK (CE199) M Du Plessis V/TT Eased back to race 8Ls last at 1000 M, niggled along in places, marginally closer turning for home, tight for room late on when midfield.
9 13 GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) P H Lo CP Stumbled at start, one from rear and 7Ls behind initial speed, checked turning for home and never likely to regain much ground.
10 12 FOREVER SUPPORT (CK024) W M Lai B/TT1 3-wide no cover at first, with cover and 2Ls down vying for 3rd at halfway, still prominent off last bend but soon fizzled out.
11 11 BEST NOODLE (CJ278) M Chadwick TT Caught wide no cover throughout, 5-wide at first the 3-wide 2Ls back vying for 3rd at halfway, struggling to keep up off last bend, faded out.
12 7 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) C K Tong B Midfield about 4Ls back with cover down the back, much the same turning for home, had his chance but dropped out tamely, no excuses.
13 10 PAR EXCELLENCE (CK020) J Lloyd -- Worse than midfield about 6Ls off pace leaving the back, had to hurdle fallen LEADER off final bend, badly hampered, eased down a long way out.
FE 6 LEADER (CG012) Y T Cheng SR Worse than midfield about 6Ls off pace leaving back straight, attempting to get into the clear turning for home when clipping heels and falling.
