1 10 ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) B Prebble -- Squeezed at start, rear and 3-wide with cover 7Ls back at halfway, 4-wide turning in, let down well to be upsides at 150 M, won a head-bobbing finish.
2 3 SUPERNOVA (CJ032) D Whyte SR Taken back, one from rear inside winner at 1000 M, advanced on the circle and 5-wide (widest) off last bend, led 150 M out, collared by winner on line.
3 1 FIRST BABY (CG170) M L Yeung P Worse than mid-division 4Ls back and 3-wide with cover at 1000 M, marginally closer into straight, every chance at 200 M, lacked dash of quinella pair.
4 11 ICE FIRE (CJ272) W Pike SR1/XB1/H Raced 3 and 4-back on the rails around 9th or 10th through to final curve, stayed on fairly well to nick 4th on the wire.
5 4 UNIQUE SPEED (CG134) H W Lai TT Nice spot in 4th in 'one-out-one-back' position through to final turn, upsides and with every chance of at least a place at 200 M, run peaked.
6 2 REGENCY KINGDOM (CK031) M Chadwick TT Caught 3-wide no cover from the 900 M in midfield between 3Ls and 4Ls until home straight, outpaced by principals in the stretch.
7 12 FLORAL IMAGE (CK027) Y T Cheng XB/H/TT Disputed early pace out 2-wide, on rails and vying for lead from 900 M to final bend and at the 200 M, weakened late on. (Tactic questioned.)
8 9 OCTAGONAL CANYON (CJ055) C K Tong -- 2-wide in or around 7th and some 4Ls from the speed until final turn, always outpaced but didn't disgrace in the finish.
9 8 LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) W M Lai B 2-wide towards rear and 6Ls off speed at the 1000 M, marginally closer turning for home, always chasing the majority of the field.
10 6 CARE FREE MIDAS (CH053) G Cheyne B Disputed lead on fence at 1200 M, handed up 900 M out and on leader's back through to last turn, very one-paced to conclude.
11 5 WIN MORE (CH243) Z Purton PC-/B2/H2/TT 3-wide no cover initially before getting across to vie for the lead out 2-wide from 900 M to final turn, tired rapidly.
12 7 GOLD CITY (CJ322) J Winks -- Poor effort given his soft trail in the box-seat at first then 3-back the fence from the 900 M, was close enough if good enough.
