1 7 COUNTRY MAGIC (CH069) K L Chui TT Standard jump, held spot on leaders back, had ideal trail in middle stages 2-3Ls back, close enough on bend, switched on turning, gradually overhauled leader and held off a late challenge to score.
2 8 CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) W M Lai BO Out in line, ended up 3Ls back on fence, had a quiet time in run, travelled well on bend, took run between horses and made good impression last 200 M going down narrowly in finish.
3 6 WINE WIN (CG018) B Prebble B- Bounced out, lead easily at a reasonable tempo with pressure from outside horses, continued to defy them on turning, kicked strongly and only lost top spot last 50 M.
4 11 VICTORY CONQUEROR (CJ230) D Beadman TT Ordinary getaway, ended up 5-6Ls back sharing rear, aided by tempo, still well back 2-wide on bend, made many lengths between horses in straight to finish a nice 4th. (Steadied 100 M.)
5 10 STAR OF FAME (CH043) K T Yeung XB/TT Began with rest, faded back to race 3-wide behind midfield 6Ls away, improved very wide throughout, 4Ls down turning, kept coming in straight making late ground to be closest at finish.
6 9 HAR HAR CHARMS (CE100) F Coetzee -- Began well, raced outside leader on solid speed, always pressured by outside horse, kept working on bend, struggling to pick up turning and folded from 150 M.
7 4 THUNDER DANCING (CG250) H W Lai B Fair to begin, went forward in search of spot, raced untractably 3-wide outside leaders, always working without cover, under pressure rounding bend, drifted out and gradually tired in straight when workload took toll.
8 2 CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) D Whyte -- Standard jump, ended up 5Ls back on fence, not used in middle stages, took inside runs on bend, lacked a response on turning and struggled in run to line. (Didn't handle surface.)
9 3 ESPERANZA (CG159) G Mosse B Away in line but soon drifted back to race with last few, raced 3-wide with cover, still well back and pushed along turning, made some ground before run ended at 200 M.
10 1 TOY STORY (CJ217) G Boss -- Little pace from outset, soon at rear 7Ls back on fence, helped by pace, still well back on bend, made limited progress but did pass a couple late.
11 5 OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) Z Purton -- Well enough to begin, ended up behind pace 3Ls back in 2-wide line, had fair trip trailing speed, pushed along approaching bend, dropped out tamely lacking usual finish.
12 12 WINNESSY (CH293) Y T Cheng -- Slow to begin, settled 6Ls back with last few on rails, aided by pace, not travelling well on bend, didn't make headway in straight and battled in run to line.
