1 4 LAMBRO (CH083) Z Purton B/TT Towards the rear and given a patient ride, picked up strongly when clear 300M, surged to the lead near 100M and drew clear.
2 8 HORACE'S LEGEND (CK181) D Beadman B 6Ls back in midfield and well covered, crept closer passing 500M, quickened well in the drive but had no answer to the winner's late surge.
3 2 MARK UP (CK247) B Prebble B Led reluctantly from 1200M to avoid racing wide, all out inside 250M, headed 100M from home.
4 11 SPINNAKER (CK305) D Whyte TT Within striking distance throughout, loomed up as a possible danger 300M but couldn¡¦t sustain effort and turned flat in late stages.
5 7 GOOD GAINS (CJ293) O Doleuze XB Fractious in stalls and lost considerable amount of ground at the start, towards the rear throughout, came home well under hard pressure final 200M.
6 12 SUISSE D'OR (CL195) G Cheyne -- Travelled 3-wide without cover in midpack, had his chance but lacked further response going into 300M, one paced in 2nd half of the straight.
7 14 SOLDIER (CK346) C W Wong CP Dropped back and tucked into a 3-wide position towards the rear, shaken up passing 600M, stayed on down the outside without threatening.
8 3 RIVER CAPTAIN (CL130) M Du Plessis B Slightly slow out, soon taken to the rail and improved to midfield, kept to inside throughout and made some progress late on.
9 1 SPECIAL DRAGON (CH325) M L Yeung TT Led early then sat one back behind leader, run ended near 300M and weakened away. (Lame next day.)
10 10 BINGO BINGO (CL196) T H So H Rushed along early to hold a rail position ahead of midfield, kept on same pace to line and could not land a serious blow.
11 9 ROCKET POWER (CH136) M Chadwick B/TT Raced at the tail of the field after a slow start, had plenty to do turning in but stayed on only fairly, never a factor.
12 13 MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) W M Lai TT Prominently ridden from the outset and chased leader, found little under pressure in straight, dropped off rapidly final 150 M.
13 6 MASTER ELITE (CJ210) J Lloyd B- Placed 2-wide in midfield, travelled only fairly and had to be niggled along over the home turn, kept on same pace and was eased passing 200M. (Jockey expressed concern over the horse's action.)
14 5 SUPER GURU (CL005) W C Marwing -- Never better than midfield, gave ground rapidly inside 400M, soon behind.
