1 2 PACKING FRIEND (CK109) D Whyte -- Enjoyed all the favours tracking the leader on the fence, maintained the inside running in the home straight and never looked in doubt.
2 4 SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) W C Marwing CP Travelled worse than midfield, 2 deep with cover. Was stoked up after the 500m, and rounding the home turn came widest. Closed off soundly.
3 12 FORTUNE PUG (CK045) M W Leung SR Parked about 3 back along the paint. Shifted out near the 300m, and ran an honest race to the wire.
4 11 DR WELL (CD165) T H So -- Rolled forward to lead along the rails. Maintained a fair gallop to the finish.
5 5 RED RULER (CH198) O Doleuze V/TT Camped 3 back 1 off with cover. Peeled out rounding the home turn but didn't show any turn of foot.
6 6 ENCOSTA DON (CH305) B Prebble B Settled midfield 1 off with cover. Kept on one paced in the run to the line.
7 10 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) C W Wong B/TT Travelled on the fence towards the rear of the field. Kept to the inside in the straight but never ran on.
8 1 GALLANT GALLOP (CL080) Z Purton TT Settled behind midfield,1 off with cover. Failed to quicken in the home straight.
9 3 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) M Chadwick B/TT Slow to begin settling with the backmakers, 1 off with cover. Made no impression in the home straight.
10 8 BOLD CHAMPION (CG127) H W Lai V Used plenty of gas after being caught wide early to go forward and take up equal leading duties mid race, tired from bend.
11 7 KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) W M Lai B Had to do some early work to cross and race settle outside the leader near the 1200m. Took up a trailing position 1 off midrace, was checked near the furlong and faded soon after.
12 9 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) M L Yeung V Blew the start and after trailing the field was never a factor.
