1 10 GLITTERING (CJ343) Z Purton XB Chased the pace in 5th and always going smoothly, came with a strong run inside 400M, hit the front 100M form home and drew nicely clear.
2 11 MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) H W Lai XB/TT Tucked in behind leaders, challenged strongly passing 400M, briefly threatened but was firmly put aside by the winner inside 100 M.
3 5 CHAIN WIN (CJ315) J Lloyd H/TT Obtained a rail position towards the stands' side, shifted away from the fence and into clear near 300M, ran on well to go 3rd close home. (Jockey questioned re riding position.)
4 4 SMART CODE (CK078) K L Chui B/TT Assumed running in midfield, shifted into clear 500M out, stayed on under maximum pressure but never looked like winning.
5 9 WING MASTER (CK258) W Pike B/XB/TT Awkwardly away then settled in the rear group 5Ls behind leaders, progressed steadily from 350M and is the only horse from off the pace that could make some late impression.
6 12 HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) M L Yeung B/TT Shifted in abruptly at the start, soon recovered and moved to a forward spot just behind the pace, briefly led inside 400M, inclined to hang in and couldn't sustain effort final 200M.
7 8 DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) W C Marwing TT Settled behind midfield 4-5Ls back, lacked speed to challenge and was merely plugging on in the run to the line.
8 2 SCOOT DA LOOT (CH274) O Doleuze B Prominently placed in 3rd, inclined to drift out under pressure from 400M, gradually weakened towards the line.
9 6 TRIUMPHANT ECHO (CJ006) W M Lai B/TT Behind midfield along the stands' rail, ran on final 200M over a trip that may be a shade too short.
10 13 MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) G Cheyne B Towards the rear, driven nearing 400M but no progress. Never factored.
11 3 SEIZE THE DAY (CJ152) D Whyte B Severely checked at the start and failed to muster when ridden along, raced at the back throughout and could keep on at the same pace only final 400M.
12 7 TRANSCENDENCE (CK280) B Prebble H1/TT1 Raced alone down the far side in early stages then shifted to a position on the outside of main group, not picking up when asked inside 400M, no extra close home.
13 1 JUNGLE TREASURE (CJ277) T H So B1 Severely checked at the start, ended up racing in 2nd last over 5Ls behind leader, driven inside 400M but no response. No impression.
14 14 FIRST DEGREE (CH132) K W Leung B Led along the stands' rail till 400M then weakened badly towards the line. (Lame left front leg.)
