1 6 GOLD CITY (CJ322) J Winks -- Raced 2nd about a neck behind a sedate pace down the back, led at top of home straight, 1L clear at the 200 M, always doing enough to secure the win.
2 4 SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) Z Purton B2 1L back in 3rd but mostly 3-wide no cover behind slow pace in first half, same margin behind off home turn and at 200 M, kept on evenly for 2nd.
3 1 MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) D Whyte V Better break than normal, 5Ls back 12th at halfway behind slow pace and much the same turning in, finished off well to nick 3rd in final strides.
4 7 SUPREME COMMANDER (CJ112) K C Leung -- In 5th or 6th with cover no worse than 2Ls or 3Ls from the speed until final bend, 1L down at the 200 M, no extra and done out of a place late on.
5 3 GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) B Prebble B Slowest away, 6Ls behind steady pace one from rear at 1000 M, retrieved some good late ground in the straight, never nearer for 5th.
6 13 COOL RUNNINGS (CK014) M Du Plessis -- Awkward break, on the leader's back 2Ls off in 5th or so through to the home straight, had his chance to place but was one-paced again.
7 12 GIANT BLIZZARD (CJ171) W M Lai SR Pressed on from wide gate to set a steady pace by a neck on the fence at the 1000 M, headed at the top of the home straight, weakened final 200 M.
8 10 BEST NOODLE (CJ278) K L Chui TT Checked early on and 3-back on fence about 4Ls from speed down back straight, tight for room from 300 M to 200 M but never dangerous late on.
9 11 SUPER BOBO (CJ116) H W Lai B/TT Taken back to rear and not suited by the steady pace, ran on past a few beaten rivals in the straight. (Questioned.)
10 5 MAMMA MIA (CK053) O Doleuze BO1 Midfield with cover about 3Ls from the speed until the home turn, found nothing off the bridle, another disappointing run.
11 9 FOREVER FORTUNE (CG145) Y T Cheng B 4-wide no cover throughout, close-up through first half but the extra ground he covered exacted its toll in the home straight.
12 8 DASH (CG236) C W Wong -- 4Ls behind the initial tempo, shuffled back a little and struggling entering home straight, soon dropped off.
