1 8 HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) G Cheyne B/TT Sent on from widest gate to flank pacesetter in 2nd through to final furlong, clawed his way to the front inside final 50 M, gamely.
2 7 MY WHISKY (CK071) Y T Cheng TT1 Soon led on the fence, no more than half a length clear from 1000 M to final 200 M, overhauled by the winner inside final 50 M.
3 5 SKY WALKER (CJ319) B Doyle -- Soft trail on the leader's back on rails in 3rd or 4th before straightening for home, never likely to challenge quinella pair and all out to get 3rd.
4 11 KEEP ME (CJ079) H W Lai B Nicely placed in 'one-out-one-back' spot in 5th or so and 2Ls until last bend, bumped 350 M out, had his chance to get 3rd, subsequent objection dismissed.
5 13 MAGNANIMOUS (CK111) W C Marwing CP-/H1 Raced 6th out 3-wide but with cover about 3Ls from pace at halfway, one-paced and unthreatening to the principals in the straight.
6 9 SUPER (CD036) Z Purton SR/XB 3-back the rails in midfield about 4Ls or so from the speed through to the last turn, never likely to draw a great deal closer.
7 2 KING FAY FAY (CH089) J Lloyd -- Quietly ridden one from rear and 6Ls off speed at the 1000 M, much the same turning for home, ran on past a few spent forces to wind up.
8 6 GREEN GLORY (CJ177) K C Leung V/TT Checked early back to about 6Ls off pace on the fence, same margin back and rearward off last bend, recovered only very minor late ground.
9 1 MINGS' HERO (CJ011) B Prebble SR Checked at the 1200 M and never any better than midfield, pressured and 7Ls adrift off last turn, never on terms. (Questioned for poor performance.)
10 4 WINBO (CJ085) W M Lai -- Always worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the pace, widest of all spinning for home, didn't offer much in the wrap-up.
11 3 WONDERFUL GAINS (CK050) D Whyte B- Midfield about 3Ls off speed down the back, lost his position on the circle and very weak in the home straight. (Questioned for poor performance.)
12 12 SUPREME DRAGON (CH161) J Winks B/H1 2-wide around midfield 3Ls from initial tempo, further back and outpaced at top of home straight, no impression.
13 14 POTPOURRI (CK142) M Chadwick B/TT 3-wide no cover for the duration, close-up in 3rd at halfway, began to fall out of touch on the circle, left further behind in the straight.
14 10 AMERICAN GLORY (CK209) O Doleuze TT1 Slowest away, always detached at the tail of the field at least 8Ls from the speed, hard to enthuse about.
