1 14 SICHUAN SUCCESS (CL307) D Whyte TT Average jump, mustered to settle just off pace 3Ls back in running line, enjoyed ideal trip to bend, set out after leader and prevailed after a decent battle, with other placegetters well back.
2 3 ADMIRATION (CL216) D Beadman -- Showed good speed to across to lead from widest alley, even sections in front with some attention from outside horse, led still at 300 M, decent duel with eventual winner but lost out late.
3 9 JUN QI (CL162) C W Wong -- Drifted back from a wide gate, 3 wide with cover, best part of 5 to 6Ls away, came 4 wide on circle, closed off solidly down middle to snatch 3rd late.
4 6 SUPER BOY (CK405) J Lloyd TT Even jump, settled behind pace 3 to 4Ls back on rails, had an easy time throughout, saved ground on bend, battled away effectively to make frame.
5 13 TAVERNER (CK227) K C Leung B/TT1 Began with rest, assumed a midfield position 5Ls back in 2 wide line, even trip to bend, didn't quicken but managed to hold ground to line.
6 4 GRAND DANCER (CK268) T Angland B Reasonable break, had cover early but posted 3 wide facing breeze from 1000 M, gradually improved on bend, spent force at 200 M when hard run took toll.
7 2 QUICK TOUCH (CJ196) Y T Cheng TT- Out in line, worked a bit to cross outside leader, fair run in mid-section, levelled up turning but didn't have dash final 300 M, faded late.
8 12 PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) M Chadwick TT Awkwardly away, settled further back than usual 5 to 6Ls back in running line, same margin down to turn, made some minor progress late.
9 8 TAKE THE RAP (CL369) W C Marwing B Bounced out, settled in nice spot behind pace pair, had ideal run to bend, didn't find much when asked and weakened disappointingly.
10 1 CORPORAL JONES (M025) Z Purton -- Drifted back from a difficult draw, 7 to 8Ls back in 2 wide line, back with last few turning, made some good headway late. Nice debut.
11 7 EXCEPTIONAL ART (CL174) O Doleuze -- No early speed, in 2nd half of field 6Ls back, saved ground on bend, took inside runs but didn't get much clear running and was not ridden out as normally would be.
12 11 MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) C K Tong BO Awkward jump, assumed usual spot at rear on rails, best part of 7Ls away, still had job to do rounding bend, no real impact in straight.
13 5 PRESTO (CJ048) W M Lai -- No early pace, 3 wide at tail 7Ls back, had cover to turn, made no serious progress in straight.
14 10 LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) M W Leung -- Showed natural speed to race behind leader, fair run throughout, soon under pressure turning and didn't see out additional journey.
