1 4 GO LUCKY GO (CJ320) B Prebble -- Eased back 9Ls behind solid speed in rear in middle stages, quickened up nicely from top of home straight to lead 150 M out, kept on strongly.
2 11 SMART KNIGHT (CK052) Y T Cheng -- 4th about 4Ls off initial speed, 3rd and still 4Ls back off last bend, upsides with every chance at 200 M, easily held by winner, probably better for further.
3 5 STEEL NERVES (CG320) G Mosse B 3-wide no cover in places in 8th down back straight, over 5Ls behind taking final turn, a neck down in 3rd at the 200 M, run peaked but held a place okay.
4 12 PEARL HALO (CJ023) K C Leung B/TT Midfield with cover roughly 5Ls from speed through to final bend, challenging over 1L off lead at the 200 M while hanging in, one-paced to wrap up.
5 8 MARBLE RED (CK160) J Winks -- 12th about 8Ls from the speed at the 1000 M and still well back taking final bend, considerably closer at the 200 M but couldn't follow through.
6 6 COOL CAT (CH330) M Chadwick B Raced 2nd about 2Ls behind the strong pace until the home turn, swamped at around the furlong pole having gone a bit too quickly.
7 7 HUSSLER (CJ323) D Whyte B1 Raced 3rd until the 600 M but a little green and wayward on debut, faded out of the picture in the home straight.
8 1 CHINA HERO (CH040) W C Marwing B Set a fast pace and about 2Ls to the good until the final turn, came back to the field at the final furlong and dropped away.
9 9 PLOT RATIO (CK044) B Doyle SR Worse than midfield about 7Ls from pace in 10th out 2-wide until the home straight, launched a brief bid but held inside the final furlong.
10 2 AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) S K Sit B 3-back on rails in mid-division about 5Ls or 6Ls from the fast speed, tepid finish.
11 13 MOONGLOW (CG008) H W Lai B/TT Slow to muster pace, always rearward, 10Ls behind turning for home, very one-paced.
12 3 GALACTIC TACTIC (CH095) W M Lai -- Caught 3-wide no cover throughout, close-up in 5th or so at the 1000 M, hard pressed to keep this close off home turn, dropped out quickly.
13 14 ZABEEL TREASURE (CK126) C K Tong P Always a long way off the pace and ceded further ground in conclusion, performance deemed unacceptable.
14 10 POTPOURRI (CK142) E Saint-Martin SR-/B1/TT Awkward break, never travelling well in rear and eased down a long way out in the straight, performance was unacceptable.
