1 12 LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) Y T Cheng TT Crossed from wide gate to lead on fence by 1L at 1000 M, set a fairly steady pace, always holding a nice margin from the top of the homestretch.
2 9 PEARL HALO (CJ023) B Prebble TT 3-wide no cover when 5Ls back in midfield at halfway, 3-wide and 4Ls back in 6th off final bend, stayed on well to take 2nd inside final 100 M.
3 14 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) H W Lai V/XB 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd at 1000 M, chasing leader 1L back in 2nd turning for home, proximity to steady pace helped him place 3rd.
4 4 KING FAY FAY (CH089) D Whyte -- Not the best away, about 8Ls back in 11th at the 1000 M, still 6Ls down off last bend, was the only backmarker to make some late ground, never nearer.
5 1 CHINA HERO (CH040) F Coetzee B Keen early on, 3-back on fence about 4Ls down in 5th at 900 M, closer in 5th entering homestretch, bumped until the 300 M, couldn't find an extra gear.
6 2 SPARE A DIME (CH155) O Doleuze TT1 Slowest away, 2-wide back in mid-division about 5Ls from pace from 1000 M to home straight, very one-paced thereafter.
7 5 MY MELODY (CJ157) G Boss TT Over-raced early on, handily placed in 4th about 4Ls from speed at 900 M, still well there turning for home, had every chance but failed to quicken. (Abnormal breathing noise.)
8 8 DECENT FELLOW (CH021) Z Purton B1 One from rear about 7Ls from pace at 1200 M, still well back and 4-wide (widest of all) turning for home, plugged on past a few tired rivals.
9 3 PERFECT TREASURE (CH091) E Saint-Martin TT With cover about 7Ls off the speed in 10th out 2-wide at 1000 M and similar making last turn, never likely to improve better than midfield.
10 6 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) M Nunes B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
11 10 TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) S K Sit -- 6Ls back in 9th at 900 M, raced 3 and 4-wide sometimes without cover, thoroughly outpaced by the leading players.
12 7 MASTER OF SHAVERS (CJ026) G Mosse XB 1L back in 2nd at 1000 M, under pressure to remain in touch despite handy tempo when 2Ls back in 3rd, dropped out, poor effort.
13 11 TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) E Wilson B Taken back from widest gate, 10Ls last at halfway, remained in rear.
14 13 SOU MA TAM (CH253) C K Tong -- Slowly away, midfield 4-back on fence about 5Ls off speed at 1000 M, hard pressed to hold this position turning for home, didn't succeed, very weak.
