1 4 ROMANTIC GREEN (CG123) F Coetzee BO/TT Box-seated in 3rd on fence 2Ls from the front until straightening for home when under pressure, dug in to lead 150 M out, kept on dourly.
2 8 WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) Y T Cheng SR/V Held up 3-wide but with cover in rear before looping field to dispute the lead 500 M out, had every chance but outpaced final 200 M.
3 7 SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) K T Yeung SR 4-back on fence about 5Ls off pace around midfield until final bend, ran on well despite hanging out to nick 3rd on the line.
4 1 DOUBLE PLEASURE (CD069) O Doleuze -- 4Ls back in 4th passing post for first time, same margin behind when 3-wide turning for home, had his chance to place but was tipped out on the line.
5 6 FRONTIER (CH023) B Prebble -- Led by 1L on fence passing post first time round, set a slow pace, joined for the lead 500 M out, weakened out of the money inside 150 M, no excuses. (Sore tendon next day.)
6 9 PURE ALPHA (CH008) W M Lai SR 3-back on fence about 4Ls down through to final turn, had his chance to place but lacked the turn of foot.
7 3 EMBRACES (CH175) M Nunes B Never better than midfield, in 8th about 6Ls down early on and worse off turning for home, clawed back some minor late ground.
8 2 VINCERE (CE324) E Wilson CP-/B2 2-wide 1L back in 2nd 1400 M out, struggling to remain in touch turning for home, steadily yielded ground.
9 10 JADE CHINA (CG113) M W Leung B/H 10Ls last early on and similarly placed making final turn, made some minor late ground but posed little danger.
10 5 HAPPY HEROES (CD261) G Boss B In rear about 8Ls behind early pace, tried to press forward from the 600 M and 4-wide turning for home, failed to make an impact.
11 12 SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) K L Chui B Under pressure from the off, midfield position about 5Ls back with cover at halfway, beaten at the home turn.
