1 6 SEA PRINCE (CJ245) D Beadman TT Slowly away and 4-back the rails about 6Ls behind early speed, 3Ls back off final turn and led at the 200 M, asserted inside final 100 M.
2 9 SEVENS HEAVEN (CE175) K T Yeung CP/XB/TT 3-back on fence 5Ls back in midfield at halfway, closer turning in and upsides winner at 200 M, run peaked, well clear of 3rd home.
3 11 ROYAL DOMAIN (CH287) J Winks -- One from rear 9Ls off pace at the 800 M and not much closer on straightening, stayed on through pedestrian rivals to nick an unlikely, remote 3rd.
4 8 CONQUEROR (CE270) S K Sit V Raced in 4th on the rails about 3Ls off pace at 1000 M, still close enough in 3rd entering the home straight, had every chance to place, only got 4th.
5 5 COOL CAT (CH330) K C Leung B A neck clear on fence initially, 2Ls to the good from the 800 M to final turn, headed by quinella pair 300 M out and rapidly slipped out of contention.
6 14 WADADELIGHT (CC340) M W Leung B Rearward at least 7Ls from the speed down the back, marginally closer turning for home, one-paced to conclude.
7 12 LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) Y T Cheng TT Trapped 3 and 4-wide no cover in midfield about 5Ls off pace until before home turn, tired in the straight after the tough trip.
8 4 WONDERFUL GAINS (CK050) D Whyte B1 Never any better than midfield, struggling turning for home and one-paced to finish off, very flat run for one so fancied.
9 10 SABINA (CK169) Z Purton -- Midfield or better 4Ls or 5Ls down through to final section, very one-paced and, as such, no chance of taking advantage.
10 3 SICHUAN HERO (CJ044) J Lloyd P1/H1 Last between 7Ls and 9Ls from the front through to home bend, held up a little on inside around the 200 M but of little consequence overall.
11 1 WIN-A-LOT (CJ124) W C Marwing V 6Ls back in 8th or so from back straight to home straight, found nothing under pressure.
12 13 MATSUKAZE (CK150) H W Lai B Over-raced when a neck down in 2nd initially, 1L off in 2nd at the 800 M and 2Ls down off last turn, very one-paced to wrap up. (Questioned for poor performance.)
13 2 GREAT SUPREME (CJ027) B Prebble -- Worse than midfield and very wide throughout sometimes without cover, never got into it.
14 7 LUFENG FORTUNE (CJ140) M Du Plessis B 3Ls back in 3rd at the 1000 M, began to lose this proximity before the home straight, eased out of the race. (Bled.)
