1 8 HOLEY DOLLAR (CK118) W M Lai H Out in line, soon ran up to share the lead on rails, quickened well when asked for efforts at the top of home straight, did well enough to withhold the challenger.
2 2 FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) D Whyte -- Settled 2Ls behind the pace, caught 3-wide until found the fence at home turn, improved along the inner in the home straight, finished off well final 200 M for 2nd.
3 1 PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) M Du Plessis -- Pushed hard forward and sat 2Ls off the pace on rails, kept battling on in the home straight under maximum pressure, got a place in the final stride.
4 7 WINE WIN (CG018) M L Yeung B Niggled along to track the leaders on 3-deep, kept on well in the home straight, bit one-paced final 50 M, just lost a place.
5 4 HONGKONG SUPERSTAR (CH167) K W Leung CP/TT Jumped fast, prominently placed one-off just behind the pace, not properly clear early in the home straight, finished off satisfactorily final 150 M but too late for a place.
6 6 ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) O Doleuze -- Checked after start, travelled at the rear despite being urged along early, 4Ls behind the leader turning for home, blocked early straight and checked at 200 M, finished off soundly final 150 M, but really too late.
7 11 LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) Y T Cheng BO- Jumped well, lacked early speed despite being urged along early and drifted back toward the rear, shifted wide for home, made gradual ground down centre of the straight, but never really troubled the principals.
8 10 NO MORE GREEN (CL190) F Durso TT Broke well from gate 12, travelled within 2Ls off the pace but caught very wide throughout the trip, held ground until got tired 100 M out.
9 12 PLAN B (CJ123) M W Leung B/TT Out in line but soon taken to the rear, travelled 4 to 5Ls off the speed on 3-deep, swung widest for home, only made limited progress in the straight.
10 3 BLAZE KING (CK104) B Prebble CP/TT Driven hard to share the lead, struggled turning for home, failed to keep on passing the 200 M pole, gave ground quickly.
11 9 BULLISH KING (CL304) J Lloyd TT Broke only fairly, soon ran up to the front but caught very wide with no cover, outpaced at the top of home straight, soon faded.
