1 4 WINNING SCHOLAR (CJ273) D Whyte B-/PC2 Jumped well. Rolled to lead on fence 900M. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Widened the break by 3Ls inside final furlong but was seriously challenged closing stages. Just lasted.
2 8 DARPANA (CK256) W C Marwing B/TT 2-wide at midfield early. Moved closer and shifted 3-wide turning into home. 3Ls behind the leader inside 200M and kept chasing hard. Just denied in a ding-dong finish.
3 7 FISHKING GLORY (CL123) T H So CP-/TT Midfield near the fence to home straight. Kept giving to hold 3rd narrowly.
4 10 BE GRATEFUL (CK194) J Lloyd B Well enough away but was trapped wide. Gradually taken to race 3-wide behind midfield from 900M. Swung wider on straightening and finished off satisfactorily to make frame.
5 9 MISTER HORSE (CL035) M L Yeung B 2-wide behind midfield to home straight. Ran on fairly well and nearly made frame.
6 12 KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) W M Lai B One-off behind leader. Remained one-paced in the straight until weakened final stages.
7 1 QUANTUM EXPRESS (CK166) C Y Ho H/TT Began very awkwardly and lost a considerable amount of ground. Tacked on the back of the field on fence 900M. Peeled out into final stretch and made decent headway.
8 5 OASIS DAVIS (CK138) B Doyle SR Behind midfield on fence to home straight. Beat tired runners home.
9 3 HIGH RETURN (CK164) Y T Cheng B2 Wide and without cover ahead of midfield to home straight. Couldn't turn up a notch thereafter and faded final 150M.
10 11 TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) C K Tong P Tracked leader on fence to home straight. Found nothing when the race got serious.
11 6 BROTHERS IN ARMS (CJ070) O Doleuze B-/PC2 Away in line. Gradually eased to race 2-wide towards rear early. Same position home turn. No show in the straight.
12 2 CHINA DRAGON (CL104) B Prebble B- Back and wide with last few always. Never in the hunt.
