3 | 11 | SICHUAN VIGOUR (P412) | K Teetan | E/P2 | Began awkwardly, dropping back but holding rail. Popped off fence 500m to get clear run, finished strongly between horses to be closest at finish. |
4 | 2 | APPROVE (N299) | U Rispoli | B-/PC2 | Pressed forward from awkward draw, racing 3-wide before settling outside leader back stretch. Hit front soon after straightening and kept on well until flattened final strides. Lay out under pressure. |
5 | 14 | TAKE TO THE LIMIT (S190) | T H So | B | Ridden along to hold position four-back from leader close to fence. Switched out at turn to get clear running and boxed on gamely in straight. |

8 | 5 | TRUMP (P106) | N Callan | TT | First out before taking sit on leader then easing into one-back, one-off position. Edged closer around turn, looked chance 200m, one-paced. |
9 | 10 | NOBLE ALPHA (M339) | C Y Ho | P | Taken back from awkward draw and soon last. Tightened 600m when making forward move but only one-paced, running past beaten horses. |
10 | 4 | FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) | K C Leung | -- | Began OK, ridden along between horses but checked and lost ground 1100m, dropping to last. Put under pressure from 600m and made some late ground. |
11 | 12 | PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) | K C Ng | TT | Hard ridden from wide draw but didn't muster and caught wide in midfield without cover. Switched in passing 1100m but left wide again from 900m. Gave ground steadily in straight. |
12 | 7 | LUCKY FOREVER (M058) | C K Tong | B | Jumped with field but lacked speed and drifted back towards rear along rail. Put under pressure turning for home but found little. |
13 | 13 | WONDERFUL GUY (P328) | A Atzeni | H1 | Began OK, ridden along to hold forward position behind the pace. Lay in passing 900m, unbalanced and lost ground when brushed rail 700m. Never likely thereafter. |
