1 6 SUPER WIN DRAGON (E253) Z Purton V/TT Shoved along after the start to obtain a handy spot behind leaders, picked up well passing 300M, led nearing 100M and gamely held off the challenge from the persistent runner up.
2 1 CAPITAL DELIGHT (H262) C Y Ho TT Travelled well in a 3-wide spot midfield, quickened nicely 300M and loomed up outside eventual winner, fought hard but just came up short.
3 5 TALENTS AMBITION (J136) H Bentley B/XB From wide draw taken back to the rear, swung wide 500M into straight, came with a big run from well back to get pretty close in the end.
4 4 SELF IMPROVEMENT (H337) K Teetan B/TT Went forward vying for the lead on outside, fought on one paced in the straight, no match for first 3 final over final 200M.
5 3 PACKING BOLE (H246) C L Chau TT Showed good early speed to lead, joined by a rival from 800M, kept going well leaving the home turn, caught by rivals nearing 100M, faded to 5th.
6 7 VIVA CHALEUR (G368) M F Poon PC Held up 2-wide in midfield, driven out 350M but gave limited response, never a winning hope.
7 10 MAJESTIC COLOUR (H124) K C Leung B/TT Away well but soon restrained to race towards the rear, 6Ls to make up 400M but wasn't able to finish the race off.
8 8 GOR MO TUEN (J434) B Thompson TT Jumped on terms, settled behind midfield along the 3-path, lacked a turn of foot from 400M. Never involved.
9 2 MAGNIAC (H141) A Atzeni V/TT From draw 1 stayed close to leaders early stages, had to be pushed along home turn, couldn't pick up passing 400M, no extra mid-straight.
10 12 UNPRESUMING (H143) A Badel B-/PC1 Began only fairly, moved up to chase leaders 3-wide no cover, lay in home straight, found little and drifted out of contention.
11 11 NATURAL HIGH (J365) P N Wong -- Dropped back from wide draw to race at the tail of the field, had plenty to make up 400M, made no impression in the run home.
12 9 I AM THE BOSS (H446) M L Yeung CP/XB Settled in the second half of the field, over 6Ls to make up 400M, didn't respond to riding, weakened to last.
