1 2 BOUNCER (CJ074) Z Purton SR/TT Settled near last, commenced his run nearing 400 M, put in a sustained effort in the drive home and got up just in time.
2 7 GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) Y T Cheng -- Went forward to press the pace, wide till 1100 M then tracked leader one out one back to straight, challenged strongly from 300 M and briefly led, galloped on in late stages and was just caught.
3 11 MR TOPAZ (CL097) H W Lai SR1 Towards the rear along the fence, held up near the entrance of the straight, came through horses inside 200 M and finished with a late flourish.
4 12 MY MATE ADRIC (CL004) J Lloyd H Obtained a fence position in midfield after a slow start, moved up to challenge on the inside approaching home straight, kept on well to the post and was just edged out by the top 3 in a close finish.
5 10 VILASOL (CK303) M L Yeung SR/V Switched off to last about 6 to 7Ls behind leader, moved away from fence inside 350 M for a clear path, finished off strongly final 200 M and narrowly missed out on a placing.
6 1 VIVA FIGHTER (CG307) M Du Plessis TT In mid-division 3-wide and ran on well to the line under top weight, not beaten far.
7 9 FLORAL PICASSO (CJ225) M Chadwick TT Crossed to the lead passing 1200 M and set a decent pace upfront, all out leaving the home bend, weakened final 150 M and was swamped late.
8 8 WHATABOB (CD213) G Cheyne B-/TT Broke well and sat handily behind the pace, shaken up passing 400 M, gave all in his final career start but couldn't quite get to the leaders.
9 6 ROYAL KNIGHT (CL094) D Whyte CP/TT Held up in midfield, had his chance but lacked further response when the race got serious final 200 M.
10 4 SILVER SUN (CE126) B Prebble -- Quickly into stride and sat in the slipstream of leader, found disappointingly little turning in and weakened away 200 M.
11 3 TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) K W Leung B/H Placed 3-wide in the group chasing the pace and was left without cover from 1100 M, outpaced inside 300 M and had no extra to offer under pressure.
