1 12 CHAMPAGNE DAYS (CL024) J Lloyd B/TT Out with first few, took trail on leaders back, all favours to bend with no speed on, dashed clear final 300m to go on and score comfortably.
2 11 LUCKY WARRIOR (M292) Y T Cheng XB-/TT1 Went forward, posted 3 wide outside leaders, did some work but helped when speed steadied, loomed at 300m but couldn't match dash of winner, stayed on ok.
3 13 SCARLET CAMELLIA (M141) K C Leung TT Faded back from a wide alley, unsuited when tempo slowed, 6Ls back upon settling, gradually worked into clear at 250m and made solid progress late.
4 10 DR WIN (CL203) D Whyte -- Standard jump, ended up in midfield 4Ls or so back, fair run in midfield to turn but pace against, made steady ground when clear.
5 5 MR BOND (M098) T H So -- Even getaway, positioned just behind speed 3 wide with cover, helped by lack of pace, battled away at same speed in straight.
6 3 LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) H W Lai -- Pressed on to race outside leader, had a fair time with steady tempo, took lead briefly passing 400m, couldn't match finish of others and tired last bit.
7 2 DANZULU (CJ069) D Beadman B-/CP2 Drifted back to rear from a wide gate, 6Ls back on rails, pace against in mid section, worked home evenly in straight with conditions not to suit.
8 1 VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) C Y Ho H/PC Slow to jump, settled 5Ls away on rails, not helped by pace to bend, just worked home steadily without threatening.
9 6 FUN HEROES (CL207) Z Purton B Got back a touch after average jump, raced 3 wide with cover in midfield 4-5Ls back, overaced and checked with slow speed, made gradual ground but never likely in finish.
10 7 OPEN SESAME (CL091) M Chadwick TT Faded back to race 3 wide at rear, 6Ls or so away with speed not to suit, came to outside and made some headway late with racing factors against.
11 8 EUPHEMISM (CL413) T Clark B/TT Out in line, settled close up in 1 out 1 back spot, no excuses in run, gave in easily and dropped off in stretch.
12 9 DILIGENT III (M211) M L Yeung CP Posted 4 wide without cover from a tricky alley, steady pace helped but still worked to bend, dropped out after hard run.
13 14 VIVA FREEDOM (M037) M Du Plessis XB1/TT1 Began in line, settled 3Ls or so away on rails, overaced in mid section, didn't find in straight and just plodded.
14 4 MOONWALK (CL083) B Doyle -- Took up running, steadied tempo on bend, didn't respond when headed and faded out quickly.
