1 4 FIRST IN COMMAND (CL085) T Clark H-/TT Vigorously driven out the gate, took a while to get there but travelled nicely once crossed to the fence, kept on strongly up the home straight and was never in any danger of being caught.
2 2 PALEPALE (M407) Z Purton B Chased leader, had his chance inside 350M, tried hard but couldn't get near to the winner, kept on well enough over final 200M and pulled clear of the remainder.
3 10 SUPREME GENKI (M387) M Chadwick TT Never far off, travelled satisfactorily, kept on same pace final 300M and held on for a non-threatening 3rd.
4 1 CITY POWER (M066) D Whyte B/SR Slightly slow away, held up 2nd last about 6Ls back, made some progress off the pace but never a threat to first two.
5 5 LUCKY SCEPTER (N174) M Zahra SR-/H1/CP1/TT1 Always prominent, 3-wide turning for home, driven out near 450M, kept on same pace, faded final stages.
6 9 LOADS OF JOY (CL088) C K Tong TT Held up in midfield, stayed on only fairly over final 400M, never a serious threat.
7 6 GABRIAL THE KING (N319) W Pike H- Checked on jumping, dropped back to a position near rear, not able to quicken inside 400M, no impression,
8 3 BEAUTY SPARKLE (N310) B Prebble -- Not far off leaders, wasn't travelling well mid-race, found nothing when pressed inside 300M, eased final 100M. (Unacceptable performance.)
9 8 KA WAI FORTUNE (N255) T H So TT1 Pushed along to stay in touch with the field, under serious pressure over the turn, soon dropped away.
10 12 SHARP PRINT (N261) C W Wong TT1 Slowly away, lacked speed, soon detached from the field, never in contention.
