1 7 MEDIC FORTUNE (CK057) M Chadwick TT Given all the favours settling 3 back the rail. Grabbed the lead at the 100m and battled on to claim the prize.
2 8 MEGA CASTLE (CL333) O Doleuze B Sent forward and enjoyed an uncontested lead for much of the journey. Still had a decent break on straightening and maintained a good gallop down the running.
3 12 KUNG HEI FAT CHOI (CL157) G Cheyne XB Had every possible chance slotting in to travel 1 out 1 back after drawing wide. Worked to the line soundly.
4 5 BULB TREASURE (CH048) W M Lai -- Settled leaders back along the paint. Gave way over the last 100m, held on to make the frame.
5 6 MASTER DRAGON (CL137) Y T Cheng B/TT Parked midfield, 1 off with cover. Turned for home about 3-4 deep and stayed on one paced in the run to the wire.
6 10 KING GALILEO (CL028) T Clark -- Settled with the backmakers along the fence. Went for runs in the straight towards the inside and made only moderate ground.
7 4 HEALTHY CONTENDER (CJ342) D Whyte H Eventually settled 4 back the fence. Railed up turning for home but failed to find any when placed under pressure soon after the 350m.
8 11 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) M Du Plessis B/TT Travelled at the tail of the field, 1-2 wide with cover. Kept to the inside in the home straight but only plugged away.
9 2 ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) M L Yeung B/TT Settled back in the field, 3 deep with cover. Made a forward move near the 800m but was posted 3 wide without cover thereafter and was well beaten passing the furlong.
10 9 SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) D Beadman B Remained 1 off the fence, close to midfield with cover, despite being hard ridden in the early stages to be a touch closer. Failed to find any extra in the home straight.
11 3 VANQUISH DELIGHT (CJ257) G Mosse -- Coursed 3 wide without cover, behind midfield in the early & middle stages before improving and racing outside the leader after the 900m. Was running on empty over the final stages.
12 1 DRAGON CHOICE (CL338) C Y Ho B/TT Slow to begin settling worse than midfield 3 wide with cover for most of the trip. Struggled in the final stretch.
