1 2 FORTUNE HAVEN (CK146) D Beadman SR Standard getaway, positioned in rear division 6Ls back on rails, improved between horses on bend, asserted authority inside 200 M, kept on strongly to line for another solid win.
2 13 GO LUCKY GO (CJ320) W Pike -- No early speed, ended up 7Ls of so away at rear, fair run with pace on, tracked eventual winner on bend, made a strong run final 300 M but just failed to catch winner.
3 4 SUPER GENKI (CH195) M Chadwick TT Out in line, drifted back soon after, showed no interest and ended up more than 12Ls from speed, well off 2nd last horse throughout, came very wide on bend, made remarkable ground from an impossible spot to take placing.
4 1 SOLAR ENERGY (CJ105) S K Sit -- Faded back from an awkward alley, raced 6Ls away 2-wide in rear division, aided by strong speed on, switched out turning and closed soundly to make frame.
5 7 EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) K C Leung B Tardy into stride, recovered to take a spot in midfield 5Ls away in running line, was difficult to settle in mid- section, continued to work home making steady ground final 200 M.
6 10 ROYAL PUMPKIN (CJ341) B Prebble P-/PC1 Sent forward to take a prominent spot behind leader, had chance but did use a bit on strong speed, took gap turning and was in mix until inside 200 M before peaked on run.
7 14 NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) M Du Plessis CP- Out in line, unable to slot in and posted 3-wide without cover, always working 2Ls back, improved to be 1L down turning, challenged to 200 M, weakened out final 100 M when hard run took toll.
8 3 ELEGANT WIN (CG297) Z Purton TT Away only fairly, raced behind midfield 5-6Ls back 3-wide, had cover and aided by speed on, checked 500 M, made only moderate headway in straight.
9 5 DR POSSIBLE (CJ110) D Whyte TT Slowly away, ended up behind midfield on rails 4-5Ls back, used little in run and suited by speed on, took inside runs turning, hung in straight and failed to close in usual fashion. (Abnormal breathing.)
10 9 LUCKYME (CH012) Y T Cheng -- Out in line, unable to match early speed, ended up 4-wide without cover 5Ls back behind midfield, used too much in mid-section, pushed wider turning, was a spent force by 300 M.
11 12 CAGA BOY (CG060) P H Lo -- Began well, pushed up to assume a prominent spot 1 out 1 back, did share of work close to a solid speed, couldn't go on final 200 M.
12 11 SUPER PEGASUS (CH141) C K Tong B/TT Bounced out, showed speed to take up leader, worked with pressure from outside horse, lost advantage on turning and gave in quickly from 300 M.
13 8 SOLDIER (CK346) B Doyle -- Useful beginning, worked a bit racing first outside leader, challenged leader in mid-section, led turning in and kept on to 300 M but stopped soon after and dropped out tamely.
14 6 HAPPY SEVEN (CK155) C W Wong B- Amongst first few to break, ended up 3-wide in midfield with cover 3Ls back, urged along on bend, folded easily in straight.
