1 8 HAPPY ZERO (CK079) D Beadman H1 Even break, gradually rolled forward to race alongside leader, cruised into last 200 M and quickened up in good style when pressed, drew well clear to win his debut with real authority.
2 1 BELONG TO CASA (CJ064) F Coetzee TT Jumped well, showed early speed to lead field at a steady tempo, pressed by runner on his inside, ridden out inside 400 M, gave all but was no match to the winner who belongs to a different class.
3 2 WASABISABI (CJ221) E Saint-Martin B1 Moderate start, settled in a prominent spot just behind leaders, close enough entering 400 M, ran on well but was unable to bridge the gap with the 2nd.
4 12 GUAN DAO (CH211) M L Yeung -- Away with them, raced in a position better than midfield 2Ls back, under pressure 450 M out, took time to gather and did his best work near the finish.
5 6 FOREVER SUPPORT (CK024) W M Lai -- Began in line, travelled in mid-division 3Ls back with cover, made some headway inside 400 M to finish a non-threatening 5th.
6 7 GREAT UNITY (CJ209) D Whyte -- Slowly away, maintained a midfield position 2 to 3Ls off the pace, showed signs of inexperience when the race got serious, ran on OK towards the finish.
7 3 JUST RIGHT (CH300) C K Tong SR Quickly into stride, soon taken forward to race prominently, unable to go with them as pace quickened inside 400 M, weakened 200 M out and gradually gave ground.
8 13 KIMBERLEY (CJ295) H W Lai -- Standard jump, lacked early pace and was soon left racing in the back, under pressure 500 M out, lacked a finish and was still green in his running, no impression.
9 14 ASIAN CITRUS (CH246) M Du Plessis B/TT Bounced out, taken to a handy position near the stand's rail, pressed inside 400 M but found little response, got tired towards the line.
10 4 NOBLE DE LAGO (CJ150) K T Yeung TT One of the first to jump, pressed on early to race in a handy position 2 off the stand's rail, struggled to keep pace inside 400 M, faded out gradually inside 250 M out.
11 10 LUCKY BOY (CJ296) S K Sit TT1 Reasonable jump, rolled along the stand's rail in a position towards the rear, all out inside 400 M, couldn't pick up and was one-paced in the finish.
12 9 HOLD YOUR BOW (CJ223) J Victoire -- No early speed, settled in the rear 4Ls off the pace, couldn't dash when asked, hung in under pressure, well beaten.
