1 13 GUNNER MAC (CJ192) O Doleuze -- Slow to begin and 5Ls away early on, stealthy headway through to the field to be 1L down at 200 M, kept on well to lead inside final 30 M.
2 10 IRISH JIG (CJ125) D Beadman TT Midfield at first and vied for the front from the 400 M to 200 M, had every chance to win but outpaced by GUNNER MAC late in the piece.
3 1 ISLAND SPEED (CG202) K T Yeung B/TT Midfield or better towards stands' rail between 1L and 2Ls from the speed until the furlong pole, ran on well late for a place.
4 8 HIGH MARK (CJ197) Y T Cheng -- Quietly handled in centre at first, headway to challenge 400 M out and given every chance to at least place, tended to hang a little in final stages.
5 2 BUNDLE O' GOLD (CJ311) B Prebble XB1 Close up before being sent to the front 300 M out, hauled back by the front quartet inside the final 100 M, solid debut nonetheless.
6 7 DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) K L Chui -- Midfield initially before being sent on to join a line of six vying for the lead 400 M out, fractionally held by the principals inside final 200 M.
7 14 WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) K C Leung H Tacked across to far side, about 1L from the pace at halfway, held by a similar margin to the line despite hanging left inside final 100 M.
8 4 HIT SONG (CJ232) M Du Plessis -- A neck down in 2nd soon after the jump and disputing the advantage 400 M out, swamped at the furlong pole and held thereafter.
9 9 ELEGANT WIN (CG297) D Whyte B Disappointing run, never really on terms with principals when worse than midfield and at least 2Ls or 3Ls from the speed throughout. (Questioned for poor performance.)
10 5 WARRIOR (CH066) Z Purton -- Made the early running along the stands' rail, joined at the 400 M and offered little in response as most of the remainder tore past inside the final 300 M.
11 6 ADAIKALI (CE181) H W Lai CP Veered across to far rail and on terms with the speed at halfway, couldn't lie up when tempo increased again inside final 300 M.
12 3 ROYAL PERICLES (CH050) W M Lai B/XB Awkward break and slow to muster pace, 2Ls off pace in a second line of pursuers at the 400 M, outpaced by the majority.
13 11 HURRICANE DASH (CJ186) W C Marwing XB/TT Slowest away, tried to tack across to main body of field from far draw, struggling in rear throughout.
14 12 PICKETT (CG155) P H Lo -- About 4Ls off pace towards rear early on and got within 2Ls of the front at halfway but retreated hastily inside final furlong.
