1 4 WATCH FIRST (CL160) B Prebble B Began well. Slotted 2-wide ahead of midfield from 1400M. Well positioned to strike in the straight. Hit front 200M. Kept on strongly to score victory with some comfort.
2 7 DANESOUTH (CL001) W C Marwing B-/P1/H/TT On fence behind pace to home straight. Saw daylight 300M. Finished off well to figure in quinella but no hope with the winner.
3 6 KIMBERLEY (CJ295) C Y Ho CP/TT Urged early. Settled 3-wide slightly ahead of midfield from 1300M. 4Ls down on straightening. Rallied on but lacked the kick of the front pair. Beat the rest by a comfortable margin.
4 10 GREEN GLORY (CJ177) Z Purton B/TT 2-wide towards rear to home turn. Peeled out and was 6Ls off into final stretch. Covered decent ground late to make frame at line.
5 14 WESTERN STAR (CK299) M Chadwick -- Travelled along the fence in mid-division to home straight. Plugged on and nearly made frame without troubling the front trio.
6 11 GLITTERING (CJ343) K C Leung XB Out nicely. Gradually rolled to the fence and led from 1200M. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Hung on until overhauled by the front trio inside final furlong. Lost 4th at post.
7 5 NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) M L Yeung B/TT Away in line but trapped wide. Progressed gradually to one-off behind speed from 1100M. Attempted to challenge the leader passing 400M but remained one-paced. Weakened close home.

9 8 KUNG HEI FAT CHOI (CL157) Y T Cheng B/H Soon taken to rear from wide barrier. Improved to race behind midfield on fence from 1200M. Couldn’t turn up a notch in the straight.
10 3 FUN AND FAST (CL177) T H So B Travelled wide and without cover behind midfield early. Strode forward and parked 3-wide behind pace from 1200M. Failed to sustain top of home straight and faded final furlong.
11 12 OSCAR PRINCE (CJ052) C Williams -- 2-wide towards rear to home turn. Swung out and was hard ridden turning into home. Beat tired runners home.
12 13 LIVERBIRD (CE055) G Cheyne B 2-wide at midfield to home turn. Pressed to maintain position from 700M. Very little impression in the straight.
13 2 WAIT FOR ME (CE332) D Whyte TT 3-wide towards rear to the bend. Swung widest rounding home turn. Quickened satisfactorily early home straight but dropped out noticeably after 200M.
