1 5 CERISE CHERRY (CL141) Y T Cheng B Allowed to dictate the pace, surged clear passing 400M, collared by the runner up inside 200M but dug in to prevail in game fashion.
2 10 LET ME FIGHT (CL176) D Beadman H Settled off the pace in the 3 path, moved up alongside leader and challenged strongly inside 250M, couldn't quite get past the winner but ran a creditable race in defeat.
3 11 EASY WINNER (CL138) T H So B/TT Raced in mid-pack along the fence, angled out inside 450M for a clear path, kept on but offered little threat to the first two which drew well clear.
4 7 MOONWALK (CL083) M L Yeung -- Tucked in behind mid-division, switched 3-wide turning for home, kept on but couldn't get to the leaders.
5 8 TAVERNER (CK227) K C Leung B1 Behind midfield, not suited by the tempo and proved difficult to settle in middle stages, mild rally final 300M.
6 6 FLYING IN (CK120) C Y Ho B Placed 3-wide in midfield, inclined to lay out over the home turn and couldn¡¦t step up a gear leaving the bend. One-paced throughout.
7 13 GREEN JACKET (CL010) M Du Plessis -- Switched off the back and made a 3-wide turn for home, made limited from off the pace and didn't factor.
8 12 JUN QI (CL162) B Prebble H-/B1 Raced keenly behind leaders, couldn't pick up on straightening and faded over the concluding stages. (Jockey reported that his horse with blinkers on for the first time would not settle due to the tempo of the race.)
9 4 CALIFORNIA MOON (CK097) M Chadwick TT Broke well and raced prominently at the hindquarters of leader, outpaced from 300M and weakened rapidly in late stages.
10 2 MY HOME TOWN (CH331) O Doleuze TT Well covered in midfield, kept on same paced to line, never threatened.
11 9 HURRICANE DASH (CJ186) H W Lai XB/H Fractious in stalls then slowly away, ended up towards the rear 5-6Ls off the pace, switched widest to challenge but made no progress, dropped out.
12 1 FIRM OFFER (CE008) C K Tong SR/TT Reserved off the pace as expected but found disappointingly little in the finish, eased.
13 14 SPECIAL DRAGON (CH325) J Lloyd TT Tracked leader, dropped out quickly ion straightening.
14 3 MIGHTY SUN (CK058) M W Leung B Detached in last after a slow start and never in contention.
