1 2 PROJECT RUNWAY (CL302) D Whyte B Pressed forward from wide draw after start. Eventually led on fence from 800 M. Levelled turning in. Fought on well in the straight to repel rivals.
2 5 HIGH AIM (CK211) J Lloyd B Began well. Gradually taken to sit on fence at midfield first turn. Shaken up and was 3Ls down passing 400 M. Closed off well but the line came too soon.
3 8 YUAN'S FORTUNE (CL021) Y T Cheng B 3-wide ahead of midfield early. Ridden from the Rock and improved to race outside the leader home turn. Looked dangerous until no extra to challenge the winner passing 150 M. Held 2nd until final strides.
4 1 FIONN'S DRAGON (CL046) Z Purton TT Away in line. Pushed early and slotted 2-wide behind midfield first turn. Badly unbalanced near 850 M. Gradually switched widest and was 4Ls down on home turn. Finished off strongly and was nearest at finish.
5 10 THINK BIG (CK295) M L Yeung SR-/H-/TT Eased to race 3-wide towards rear after start. Took inside run on home turn and was 6Ls off into final stretch. Made steady headway and was closest at post.
6 9 FUN AND FAST (CL177) H W Lai B Pressed early to maintain 2-wide ahead of midfield. Shifted 3-wide and was 3Ls back on straightening. Made up some ground without threatening the principals thereafter.
7 3 SOLDIER (CK346) C W Wong CP Ridden early and raced towards rear on fence. Similar position turning in. Kept finding the line well.
8 7 FLASHING GUY (CL158) K C Leung B Well enough away. Taken to sit behind pace on fence from first turn. Ideal spot to strike home straight but was one-paced to conclude.
9 11 LUCKY EMPEROR (CK407) C K Tong V-/B2 Urged early and raced 2-wide behind midfield. Pressured home turn and made up minor ground in the straight.
10 4 MAKE IT (CL139) B Doyle CP Fair start. Ridden along but was trapped wide and without cover. Improved wide back straight and ended up behind leaders approaching home straight. Soon faded.
11 6 SNITZEL KID (CL379) B Prebble -- Always at rear. No impression.
12 12 OUR WISH (CL191) W M Lai -- One-off behind leaders until no extra approaching home straight.
