1 9 AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) Y T Cheng B Overcame a wide draw and gradually found his way to the front, slowed down the pace significantly passing 800 M and dictated the race from that point, had a 2Ls lead off the bend and kept on strongly to score.
2 2 RAIN OF THUNDER (CJ352) D Whyte B Held up in a position behind midfield, not helped by the slow pace in middle stages and strode closer making the home turn, held up to 250 M then made good headway to claim 2nd close home.
3 8 MASTER MASTER (CH144) B Doyle V Fractious in stalls and began awkwardly, held 2-wide running in mid-division, moved to 3rd approaching the final turn, had his chance but never looked a threat to the runaway winner, beaten to 3rd close home.
4 7 FASTER FASTER (CG010) W C Marwing CP Slow to begin, ended up in last 8Ls off the pace in the first half, moved closer approaching the final turn and driven from 550 M round the outside, progressed steadily in straight but not threatened the principals.
5 11 DIAMOND PRINCE (CJ172) M L Yeung SR Handily placed behind leaders early, hampered by the slackening race tempo in middle stages, made some headway from 350 M but could find no extra in the closing stages.
6 4 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) T H So -- Lacked early speed and raced towards the rear, lost 2Ls near 800 M when checked due to the slackening pace, last going into straight and remained very one paced in the finish.
7 10 WEALTH SYNERGY (CJ133) J Winks B Up with the early pace, moved up to 2nd passing 800 M, under pressure to keep up inside 450 M, soon outpaced in straight.
8 6 HONEST TREASURE (CE200) M Chadwick B/H/TT Well enough away, cut out the early running before taken back to track leaders down the back straight, looked very laboured when pressed on in straight, weakened inside 200 M.
9 1 SMART CODE (CK078) B Prebble B/TT Raced 3-wide without cover in midfield and difficult to settle at times, driven from 300 M but soon outpaced and weakened.
10 5 FABULOUS START (CK151) W M Lai -- Towards the rear 6Ls back, under serious pressure halfway round the home bend, took long time to pick up and only got going close to the finish.
11 12 RISING WIN (CC089) H W Lai SR In midfield along the fence, hampered by the slow tempo in middle stages and shuffled backwards, had to switch out for a clear run in straight but not quicken.
