1 2 HURRICANE DASH (CJ186) Y T Cheng XB/H Placed 2-wide in mid-division, got a shade keen over the first turn, switched wide 400 M to deliver his challenge, put in a sustained effort and got up in late stages.
2 4 TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) M L Yeung B/H Moved forward to race one out one back after a slow start, responded well to pressure and led mid straight, galloped on but was eventually run down in late stages.
3 9 VICTORY STYLE (CG120) B Prebble -- Stalked leader off the rail and travelled strongly to straight, box seated and held up near 200 M, altered course and made up ground late despite a narrow passage.
4 7 WHATABOB (CD213) G Cheyne B/TT Never far off the steady pace, ran on well final 300 M and posted a solid effort in defeat.
5 11 REGENCY KINGDOM (CK031) F Durso TT Broke well, led steadily to 200 M, got tired and dropped out of contention.
6 6 MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) J Lloyd SR/XB Held up behind mid-division, well covered but proved difficult to settle at times, ran on fairly in straight and never looked like reaching leaders. (Jockey reminded to ride out his horse to the end.)
7 10 GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) W C Marwing B Towards the rear on the inside, 6 to 7Ls behind leader making the final turn, took time to muster on straightening and made some minor headway late on.
8 3 TEAM WORK (CH276) K W Leung B Broke well from gate 1 and had a smooth run off the rail throughout, 4Ls down turning in but couldn't find the necessary response when the race got serious.
9 1 ABSOLUTE HEDGE (CL032) D Whyte TT In mid-division but was left 3-wide without cover entering back straight, pressed along 400 M but not quickened, kept on same pace to the line.
10 5 UNWRITTEN RULE (CK092) C K Tong H Off the rail behind mid-division, stayed on same pace to the line. Never a factor.
11 12 WISE LOVER (CE095) M Du Plessis B Taken across behind runners, settled in last 8Ls off leader, no impression on straightening.
12 8 LEO'S PRIDE (CK094) O Doleuze B Slow to begin, positioned 3-wide towards the rear, driven 350 M but no progress, weakened 100 M out. (Mucus.)
