1 6 INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) D Whyte TT Led slowly, was taken on for the lead passing 800M, kicked clear turning into straight, kept responding to pressure in front and was never in danger of being caught.
2 10 OWNERS' GLORY (CL391) Z Purton B Reserved near the rear in early stages, improved to midfield halfway but raced with no cover from 800M, stayed on well final 250, nearest finish.
3 5 GLORY OF INDIA (CK130) J Lloyd TT Tracked leader on the inside, lacked pace to mount a serious challenge but plugged on throughout the final 200M and was not beaten far.
4 4 MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) H W Lai B/H Began awkwardly, held up behind midfield along the 2-path, took time to gather in straight, did best work late.
5 11 VICTORY MASCOT (CJ243) B Prebble B-/TT Held a midfield position along the fence, travelled well to straight but could only run on at the same pace final 300M.
6 2 JOLLY GOOD (CL134) P Strydom SR/TT Caught 3-wide in mid-division, strode to the lead inside 900M, kept on to 150M, weakened late stages.
7 7 HO HO LIFE (CL209) M Du Plessis B Taken across behind runners and settled towards the rear 6Ls off the pace, saved ground on the inside but made very limited progress turning in.
8 12 CLASSIC BOY (CL425) C Y Ho H Never far off the steady pace, niggled along nearing 400M, ran on one-paced and made no impression.
9 1 ANTIPASTO (CK213) K C Leung B Towards the rear, under pressure rounding the home turn and found disappointingly little turning in.
10 8 BEAUTY FOREVER (CK074) Y T Cheng B/TT Closest to leader in first half of the race, struggled for pace making the home turn, gave way inside 250M.
11 9 BEAUTY SUCCESS (CL422) M Chadwick CP/TT Slow to begin, raced in the rear for most of the way, did not pick up under pressure. (To stalls test.)
12 3 GIVE WELL (CJ109) M L Yeung BO Towards the rear, hung out making the first turn and ended up racing wide without cover for rest of the trip, already beaten turning in. (To official barrier trial around a bend.)
