1 7 CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) W M Lai BO Away in line, settled in midfield but always in touch, had a dream run along the rails, quickened well in straight to hit the front 100 M from home.
2 6 EVER BEAUTY (CJ161) D Beadman CP/XB/TT Held inside run and cruised to the lead near 600 M, drifted away from the fence making the turn, driven out 250 M, headed inside 100 M.
3 12 EXPLODING (CH046) K C Leung XB/H Quickly into stride, led early but gradually dropped back to midfield, chased leader 300 M out, kept grinding to the line and just held on for 3rd.
4 1 SPECIAL K (CK114) B Prebble CP Began awkwardly, restrained to a rearward position 4 to 5Ls behind leader, switched out for a clear path and challenged from 300 M, ran on strongly under pressure to finish nearest at the line.
5 8 MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) S K Sit -- Assumed a position in midfield, 3-wide on the turn, made steady headway down the centre but was never getting there in time.
6 9 WELL NOTED (CG313) M L Yeung PC/TT Taken back on jumping from the wide barrier, 2 off the fence in the rear group, steadied early in straight and had huge task in hand, ran on well over final 200 M, never nearer.
7 11 PRETTY TOUCH (CK252) M Chadwick B Raced in last few, held inside run, made some progress down the inner on straightening but no real impression.
8 10 EASY AHEAD (CK212) T H So V Dashed to the front, sat one-out-one-back from leader at the turn, had every chance but looked very laboured when asked to quicken, faded away inside 200 M.
9 5 INDUSTRIAL MARVEL (CG188) W C Marwing -- Hard ridden out the gate, up front disputing the lead early but dropped back to avoid racing wide entering the home turn, unable to pick up and weakened over 200 M out.
10 3 ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) O Doleuze P/TT Raced 2-wide behind midfield, had to be pushed along passing 500 M, kept on one pace to the line, never on terms. (Mildly distressed / abnormally high heart rate.)
11 2 GRAND STORE (CH087) K W Leung -- Up with the early pace, unable to cross and trapped 3-wide, not picked up in straight, eased close home.
12 4 EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) Y T Cheng CP-/TT- Drawn on the outside, raced 4-wide and covered more ground than others, under pressure 400 M, soon running on empty.
