2 2 BEJEWELED (CH289) G Boss -- Fair getaway, sat behind pace closer to middle of course, shifted into clear running at 300 M, finished race off nicely to take 2nd place.
3 7 LUCKY QUALITY (CH134) Y T Cheng TT1 Jumped in air, mustered to race in behind leaders 2Ls back, always travelled in mid-section, kept progressing last 300 M when in clear to finish a nice 3rd.
4 4 BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) Z Purton -- Not much early pace, raced 4Ls away on outside rail back with last few, urged along at midpoint, kept improving and did best work late to make frame.
5 12 ABLE DANCER (CJ136) M Nunes -- Showed some early pace, held position behind leader towards outside rail, urged along at 400 M to hold spot, stayed on at same pace to be not far away in finish.
6 1 GOOD TOUCH (CJ033) E Saint-Martin B/TT Began well, had enough pace to be up sharing lead, raced greenly towards centre, hung when placed under pressure, could only hold ground over the concluding stages.
7 3 CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) M W Leung -- No pace from jump, settled a clear last 6Ls away, improved from midpoint, steadied and lost run at 200 M when making solid progress, kept on evenly thereafter to be closest at finish.

9 13 HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) E Wilson V/TT Unbalanced early, crossed to set behind midfield close to outside rail, kept on evenly under urging from 300 M, in traffic at 100 M, never really threatened thereafter.
10 8 NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) H W Lai B- Out well there, raced greenly behind pace close to middle, 2 to 3Ls back at midpoint, condition soon gave out and lost touch from 300 M.
11 9 OCEAN WIDE (CJ132) D Whyte -- Modest beginning after being crowded, pushed on to be up sharing lead at midpoint, under pressure soon after 400 M, gave little and weakened out. (See Racing Incidents - "not comfortable".)
12 5 LUCKY RED (CJ059) W M Lai -- Fractious in gate, showed usual pace to be up sharing front, right there at 400 M still challenging, had little to give late and faded last furlong.
13 14 BLUE SAINT (CJ080) S K Sit TT Began well enough, up close to front 1L off pace, under pressure at 400 M, quickly surrendered and dropped right out late.
