1 1 LEADING CITY (CK298) D Beadman H Broke well, took them along at a good clip, kept on well final 300M under top weight and comfortably held off the persistent runner-up.
2 4 CITY POWER (M066) M L Yeung SR/B1 Chased leader in 2nd, began his challenge nearing 400M, had every chance but was always held by the winner.
3 12 HORSESHOE FORTUNE (CL098) J Lloyd -- Held up in mid-division and travelled well into straight, shifted to clear nearing 300M, finished off willingly.
4 13 MASTER KEY (CK387) G Cheyne P/H/TT Had inside run throughout and never far off the pace, had no clear run early straight, shifted out to clear 300M, stayed on without threatening.
5 3 SUMMER DASH (M105) B Prebble V1 Slow to begin and slightly outpaced early, well behind leader halfway, moved closer approaching 400M and stayed on towards the line. Encouraging run.
6 5 SUPREME FAY FAY (CL185) M Guyon B/TT Taken across behind runners and patiently ridden near the rear, ran on well from off the pace despite being hampered near 300M. (Trainer questioned re riding instructions.)
7 6 VICTORY IDE SAY (M056) W C Marwing TT Towards the rear, 11th before straight, taken widest to challenge but kept on same pace only.
8 7 LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) H W Lai -- Began awkwardly but soon recovered to race prominently just behind leader, outpaced passing 400M, weakened rapidly final 150M.
9 2 OTTIMO (CK238) Y T Cheng -- Didn't muster and under pressure to hold his position, at the rear of midfield the whole way, no impression on straightening.
10 9 HONG KONG FAT (M099) M W Leung -- Switched off to last on jumping from a wide barrier, over 8Ls off the pace in early and middle stages, not quickened turning in and was never a factor.
11 8 O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) T Angland B/TT Positioned 2-wide ahead of midfield, travelled well to 500M but found very little when placed under pressure, no extra inside 200m.
12 14 MASTER RIO (CK188) C K Tong CP Raced in mid-division along the 3-path, outpaced passing 700M and dropped back, weakened leaving the bend and soon out of contention.
13 10 MR AWARD (M065) O Doleuze TT1 Never better than mid-division, didn't respond when placed under pressure inside 400M, dropped out 200M.
14 11 LUMINOUS (CE300) K C Leung B Urged along to chase the pace, 3-wide over the turn and was readily left behind when the tempo increased inside 400M, tailed off (Unacceptable Performance.)
