1 6 SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) B Doyle V Settled in 6th out 2-wide and 4Ls down initially, closer off last bend, quickened up to lead 150 M out while hanging in, driven out to hold on.
2 3 TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) K C Leung -- Eased back to 9th about 5Ls from the speed through the first 800 M, finished off well out wide but not quickly enough to reel in the winner.
3 5 MARVELLOUS (CH026) O Doleuze V/TT Enjoyed the softest run possible on rails 2Ls behind the speed in 3rd before straightening, did enough to place but had every hope to win also.
4 11 KING CREOLE (CG287) H W Lai TT Midfield 4Ls off pace until home bend, challenging when checked by winner 100 M out, may have placed otherwise, objection by rider overruled.
5 4 SUPER PLUS (CJ090) M Chadwick -- Pressed to dispute the pace at the 800 M, 1L back in 2nd turning for home, had every chance to at least place but lacked an extra kick.
6 1 KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) W M Lai B Nicely placed in 4th out 2-wide and 2-1/2Ls behind the speed until last corner, one-paced to conclude.
7 2 SOU MA TAM (CH253) P H Lo B Led by 1L at first before being joined at the 800 M, established a break again at the last bend and 200 M before being swamped final 150 M.
8 8 FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) E Saint-Martin CP1 Slowly away, at least 7Ls behind in 11th down the back straight and same spinning off last bend, retrieved some late ground, never nearer.
9 12 MASTER TOWER (CK012) S K Sit -- 10th and 6Ls behind initial tempo, wide turning for home and still well back, clawed back some fair late headway, wants further.
10 7 ANIMATION (CJ035) Y T Cheng CP-/B2 3-wide but with cover around midfield and 4Ls from the tempo at 600 M, checked before home turn and petered out in conclusion.
11 9 SUPERB GAINS (CJ058) Z Purton -- Slow out and soon 9Ls last, remained at the tail of the field despite retrieving minor late ground.
12 10 CHAIN WIN (CJ315) J Winks H Pressed on 3-wide no cover to dispute the pace at halfway, raced greenly on the circle and beat a hasty retreat in the stretch. (Tactic questioned.)
