1 12 FAY FAY (CL284) D Whyte -- Guided to a 2-wide position with cover from 14, travelled strongly in midfield throughout, unleashed a powerful run from 400M with minimum urging, lead near 100M, won unextended.
2 7 FIONN'S DRAGON (CL046) H W Lai TT Dropped back, held up in last pair, difficult to settle mid stages, stayed on well final 400M despite hanging in, got up for 2nd late but the winner belongs to a different class.
3 6 TALLEY CLOSE (M280) K C Leung -- Led from the off and set a decent clip mid race, opened up a sizable lead passing 300M, headed inside 150M, weakened and lost 2nd close home.
4 9 QUANTUM POWER (M134) Z Purton H/XB Crossed to a midfield position along the inside, held up 400m to 200M, finished well and would have been closer.
5 1 GENE POWER (M124) D Beadman TT Positioned 3-wide towards the rear, about 6Ls behind leader turning in, ran on steadily from off the pace, in contention for a minor placing final 200M but flattened late stages.
6 10 COSTA DEL SOL (M111) K C Ng -- Chased leader but caught 3-wide without cover, lacked the needed response when called upon, outpaced final 150M.
7 11 ALL FRIENDS (M374) B Doyle -- Placed ahead of midfield, kept on one pace and never looked like getting to the leaders.
8 3 GRAND DANCER (CK268) T Clark B Not hurried after the start, held up near the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, kept on same pace in straight and ran past beaten runners only.
9 14 DILIGENT III (M211) M L Yeung CP Slow to begin, quickly recovered to race prominent behind leader, not quickened turning in, failed to keep pace final 150M.
10 5 PERFECT CHEERS (M341) O Doleuze H/TT1 Towards the rear along the inside, urged along passing 500M but never going the pace to challenge.
11 2 ABSOLUTE FANTASY (M284) Y T Cheng B Not far off the pace, steadied near 600M, failed to respond inside 250M and gradually gave way.
12 13 SUPER BROTHER (M299) C Y Ho B/TT- Chased the pace 2-wide, kept within striking distance until weakening inside 300M.
13 8 EVERYBODY SINGS (M168) B Prebble H-/B1 Raced keenly in midfield, turned 3-wide home bend, found little when pressed nearing 400M, eased when well beaten mid-straight.
14 4 SICHUAN LEGEND (M248) T Angland B Settled at the back well off the pace, saved ground on the inside but didn't have a clear crack turning in, held up mid-straight and was eased over final stages.
