1 10 ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) H W Lai B Travelled well 3-back on rails 6Ls off in 6th at 1200 M, closer turning for home and led about 150 M out, barely clung on for the win.
2 5 STORM'S DESTINY (CJ260) W C Marwing B 3-wide with cover towards rear at 1100 M, headway but 6Ls adrift turning in, stayed on very strongly down the centre, barely missed the win.
3 2 MASTER TOWER (CK012) K C Leung -- Led by 1L on fence 1200 M out, held a 1L break before being heaed by the winner 150 M out, hung on to a place.
4 3 FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) J Lloyd V Handily placed in 4th between 2Ls and 4Ls from the speed before straightening, had every chance to at least place, lacked acceleration.
5 12 TALE OF FRIENDSHIP (CH184) M L Yeung SR-/B Went back initially, advanced out 3-wide no cover from halfway but still 5Ls back turning for home, not a bad finish given the tough trip.
6 7 BRAVO HORSE (CH312) T H So B/SR Enjoyed the box-seat trail in 3rd about 2Ls off the speed through to the final 400 M, couldn't have had a cheaper run and no excuses not to place.
7 1 WADADELIGHT (CC340) M W Leung B Raced in 5th about 4Ls off pace at halfway, much the same turning for home when pressured, could only stay on at the same pace.
8 8 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) J Winks -- Eased back as usual, 4-back on the rails 8Ls off pace at the 1200 M, closer turning in and briefly loomed a threat on rails at 300 M, run soon peaked.
9 14 SUPER POWER (CH117) M Chadwick TT Settled at least 7Ls from the speed in rear through to last section, never looked like finishing better than midfield.
10 9 KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) C K Tong B Mostly in 12th or so about 8Ls off pace through first half, hard ridden to try improve turning for home, very one-paced.
11 4 SPRING SMILES (CG269) D Beadman B-/P1 Very lethargic effort overall, fractious in gates and slow out, 10Ls last and ridden along early on, always chasing the majority of the field. (Questioned for poor performance.)
12 6 GENIUS MASTER (CJ117) M Du Plessis SR Awkward break, 6Ls back in 7th at the 1200 M, hard pressed to retain this proximity off last corner, ceded ground.
13 11 PUERTO RICO (CH147) B Doyle H-/TT- Never travelling in rear and always at least 7Ls from the speed, very poor again.
14 13 CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) C W Wong B/TT Worked hard early out 3-wide no cover before slipping 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd from 1000 M to final turn, soon weakened.
