1 8 MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) J Lloyd PC/TT Rushed along in early stages and travelled near the rear 6Ls back, responded well passing 400 M and made the most of an uninterrupted run in straight, got up just in time.
2 2 ST DIDAR (CL115) W C Marwing B Restrained in midfield, taken out nearing 400 M, came home with a surging run and was just denied.
3 1 LOVE LOCKDOWN (CL261) M Chadwick CP-/TT Not far off the pace, picked up gradually passing 350 M and ran on well to take 3rd close home.
4 11 SHANGHAI PIONEER (CL252) C K Tong SR Had to overcome a wide barrier to lead, looked to have the race won 150 M out but weakened as the finish neared, headed close home and beaten to 4th by a narrow margin.
5 12 LUCKY BOY (CJ296) H W Lai B/TT Settled on the inside just off the pace, battled on well and finished off willingly, not beaten far.
6 3 FLYING CHINA (CK266) C Y Ho PC Positioned at the rear, switched to outside 450 M, looked one paced early straight but started to motor inside 200 M and finished off strongly.
6 6 MY WHISKY (CK071) Y T Cheng TT Positively ridden from the outset and positioned one out one back, kept on till weakening inside 100 M.
8 5 HORSE SENSE (CL314) O Doleuze -- Guided to a rail spot in midfield, pushed along midway but had no clear passage until the race was almost over.
9 7 GOLDEN TREASURE (CJ087) W M Lai -- Towards the rear, hung out under pressure on straightening and could make limited progress only.
10 4 SUPREME FAY FAY (CL185) K C Leung -- In touch, driven 400 M out but no response, never a factor.
11 9 INVINCIBLE HEART (CL071) M W Leung XB1/TT Behind midfield 5Ls off the pace and not able to quicken on this ground inside 350 M.
12 10 EASY AHEAD (CK212) T H So V Close to the pace but travelled 4 to 5-wide throughout and was unsurprisingly a spent force from 350 M, eased late on.
