1 2 FLAGSHIP SHINE (P104) D Whyte CP Began well, led briefly before taking a trail on leaders back, all favours thereafter, gained split at 200m and dashed through, held rivals late with some in hand.
2 5 MR MEDICI (CK218) G Mosse -- Away with them, raced in 5th on rails 3ls back, every chance to bend, stuck on well in straight prevailing in a 3 way finish for 2nd.
3 3 BLAZING SPEED (P192) M L Yeung TT Pressed forward as usual to sit outside leader, had a fair run throughout, leveled up soon after turning and in mix for most of straight, narrowly touched off for 2nd.
4 10 SLICK BULLET (N141) C Y Ho P/XB Moderate break, raced behind midfield 5-6ls back, angled out turning but didn't get a clear crack until 300m, closed hard final furlong to make frame.
5 14 RACING HERO (N157) T Berry B Took ideal spot 1 out 1 back, enjoyed nice run throughout, produced soon after turning and briefly led to 200m, tired last bit and missed frame.
6 12 CHAMPAGNE DAYS (CL024) K C Ng TT2 Taken back from a wide alley, raced at rear5 on rails nearly 10ls back, closed off well between horses in straight making plenty of ground to be nearest at finish.
7 1 SILVER GRECIAN (CL323) O Doleuze TT Restrained from widest alley raced at rear 10ls back, 3 wide with cover in middle stages, too much to do turning but closed off well in straight making many lengths to be on heels of place getters.
8 4 PERFECT CHEERS (M341) Z Purton B/TT Went forward but raced a little keenly and ended up leading, set even tempo throughout, kept to 250m when headed, no extra final furlong.
9 8 NICE FOLKS (CL421) A Suborics B-/P2 Raced behind midfield 7-8ls back on rails, quiet time throughout, same margin back turning, closed off fairly without looking a chance.
10 11 TURBO JEWELLERY (N379) T H So TT Positioned in 2 wide line 7-8ls back, reasonable trip throughout, urged to pick up turning, no extra gear in straight and just plugged to line.
11 9 WHY NOT (N053) Y T Cheng TT Taken back from a tricky gate, raced further back than usual 3 wide at rear 8ls away, had cover in mid-section, never really got into it from there and battled away in straight.
12 6 WEALTHY FORTUNE (P324) W M Lai -- Awkwardly away, shared rear nearly 10ls back on rails, difficult to settle in mid-section, still at rear with plenty to do turning, made no impression.
13 7 CRACKERJACK (N446) K C Leung SR/TT Raced just in front of midfield, 4ls back in running line, fair run but struggling turning, folded cheaply in straight.
