1 12 NATIONAL TREASURE (CK362) D Whyte -- Out with rest, ended up posted wide 5Ls or so back, without cover from midpoint, forced to cart field up to runaway leader, stuck to task and took advantage late for a strong win.
2 9 ROMA THUNDER (CL109) K C Leung B/TT Out fairly, posted 4 wide early without cover, pressed on and took up running by top turn, didn't let up and kept rolling on turn, 3Ls clear at 300 M, just tired late. Big run.
3 10 CHEER (CL277) M Du Plessis H1/TT Standard jump, ended up in 2nd half of field, 6 to 7Ls back on rails, used little in mid-section, in traffic turning, clear from 250 M and closed off soundly to take a place.
4 1 HAPPY PRESTIGE (CL081) B Prebble -- Even break, drove through to take a spot on the back on pace, had a fair run in mid-section, into mix on turn, stayed on soundly without threatening.
5 2 LUNAR REFLECTIONS (CL009) W M Lai -- Drifted back from a wide alley, 6 to 7Ls away in running line behind midfield, had job to do rounding bend, closed nicely down middle to be not far away at finish.
6 5 AMAZING JOURNEY (CH281) K W Leung B/TT No early speed, ended up sharing rear 8Ls off top end, 3 wide with cover on bend, same margin down turning, made many lengths in straight to be nearest on line.
7 7 AMAZING SKY (CL229) G Cheyne -- Pressed on from an awkward draw to sit first without cover, did a bit of work when new leader emerged and pace increased, niggled turning, faded inside 250 M.
8 3 WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) B Doyle CP Ordinary jump, soon sharing rear, 8Ls off lead in middle section, set a task when still last turning, steadied at 300 M, made some minor ground late.
9 14 SUPER GENTLEMAN (CK365) J Lloyd B Average to begin, regathered to be 5Ls down in middle stages, overraced on circle, came wide turning but didn't finish off as normally would.
10 4 HORSESHOE FORTUNE (CL098) Y T Cheng XB Out in line, positioned 3 wide behind midfield 5Ls off speed, had cover in run, same margin down turning, never made impression in straight.
11 11 LOMBARDI (CK406) T H So -- Some early speed, on leaders back early, shifted back by mid-point, took inside runs when 4Ls down turn, ordinary finish in straight.
12 8 LEO'S PRIDE (CK094) C K Tong B Lost a few lengths at start, mustered to join rear division, 7 to 8Ls back throughout, saved ground turning but never really made ground. (Jockey reported never comfortable.)
13 6 EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) M L Yeung B Tardy into stride, drove through to hold position 4 to 5Ls back in midfield, soft run to turn, found little 400 M, weakening out tamely.
14 13 BE MY SONG (CH272) M W Leung H/TT Fastest out, pressed on to lead, taken on and headed by midpoint, under pressure turning and dropped right out. (Mucopus.)
