1 3 ROMANTIC FANTASY (H168) A Badel B/TT Led without having to be pressured, took them along steadily, urged 450M and kept responding in the run home, just held on from pursuers in a busy finish.
2 8 SHARPEN BRIGHT (H276) Z Purton CP/XB Settled down midfield, laid in 300M resulting in its rider having to take corrective measure, finished off the race well and was just held by a short head in a blanket finish.
3 4 SERANGOON (H296) H Bentley CP/TT Restrained behind mid-division, pressed along 500M, stuck to task well to get 3rd in a photo finish.
4 11 HAPPY HERO (G322) M Chadwick CP Stalked leader on settling, no change in position entering final turn, fought hard from 300M trying to get past leader, edged out to 4th last stride in a desperately close finish.
5 10 PALACE PAL (G172) M F Poon V Dropped back and raced towards the rear, 8Ls off leader in middle stages, moved closer home turn before staying on well to claim 5th, narrowly beaten in a busy finish.
6 7 JUBILATION (G029) M L Yeung V Tracked leader on outside, poised to strike 300M, fought on evenly to the 100M before weakening.
7 6 RUNNING AHEAD (G313) C L Chau TT Restrained in 4th spot, never far off from leaders but battled on one paced in the straight, out of contention passing 150M.
8 1 PRECISE EXPRESS (D198) L Hewitson H Jumped awkwardly, raced in mid-division, lacked a response when driven along top of straight, soon outstayed by rivals.
9 9 READY PLAYER ONE (G143) A Hamelin PC-/XB/V2/TT Shifted across from wide draw, held up in last 10Ls off on settling, wide into straight before closing off only fairly, never a winning hope.
10 2 WONDER YEARS (G001) K De Melo B/XB/TT Slow to begin, settled near last early stages, taken wide 800M and covered more ground than rivals, failed to run on in the straight. (Jockey questioned regarding his riding tactics.)
