1 2 FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) D Whyte B 4Ls back in 4th leaving back straight, closer turning for home, led about 250 M out, ridden out to hold a margin.
2 5 HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) J Lloyd B/TT Leader's back on fence, 1L back in 2nd into straight, briefly led before being grabbed by winner 250 M out, kept on but couldn't lead again.
3 4 PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) M Chadwick TT Wide no cover throughout, keen when 5Ls down at first, closer and 4th into striaght, 1L back and every chance at 200 M, couldn't follow through.
4 6 CHEEKY LAD (CG198) B Prebble B At least 6Ls behind in 10th or so at 1000 M, closer on straightening and looked a chance 200 M out when 2Ls down, run peaked.
5 7 SOHNA (CG183) B Doyle B/TT 4-back the fence about 6Ls off early speed, 5Ls down at the last turn, finished off only fairly, found a few too good once again.
6 9 DIVINE KID (CK157) W C Marwing -- Rearward at least 6Ls from the speed through to the last turn, recovered some late ground without genuinely threatening a place.
7 11 NAMJONG FIGHTERS (CG308) Y T Cheng -- Worse than midfield at first, caught 5-wide no cover on the circle when 5Ls down, never likely to improve much further.
8 8 DANABAA (CH007) K C Leung V Soon led on fence by 2Ls, headed shortly after straightening and soon wilted out of the picture.
9 1 CLOSERTOBELIEVING (CK263) W Pike -- Taken back from wide gate, 8Ls adrift at the 1000 M, made up a little minor ground without looking remotely dangerous.
10 12 GREAT SHOW (CK001) K W Leung B- Rearward at least 7Ls behind initial tempo, 4-wide no cover on the circle, kept chasing the majority of the field.
11 14 POTPOURRI (CK142) M L Yeung B/TT Blew the start by about 4Ls, rearward at least 7Ls from the speed until home turn, never seriously in contention.
12 13 ROMANCING TAMAR (CK176) H W Lai B1/TT 3-back the rails down back straight, struggling to lie up when 5Ls down off last turn, lost further ground on the run-in.
13 3 FORTUNE SPIRIT (CK102) Z Purton B1 Midfield with cover about 5Ls off pace at halfway and closer but pressured off last turn, retreated very quickly thereafter.
14 10 RAISING SUN (CK154) T H So H- 2-wide and 2Ls back in 2nd down the back straight, began to lose this proximity on the circle, weakened out rapidly.
