1 8 RACING HERO (N157) O Doleuze SR1 Began well enough, tracked leader on rails 2Ls back, all favours to bend, burst through gap turning and gained a 1L margin, held this comfortably in run to line.
2 5 G-ONE WINNING (M392) D Whyte -- Began well, took up a prominent spot 1 out 1 back, always within striking distance to bend, made challenge soon after turning and came into in strongly but unable to wear down margin final 100m.
3 4 KEEN WONGCHOY (CL223) A Suborics B/H/TT Drifted back from a wide alley, raced 3 wide at rear 7Ls back, improved approaching bend, displayed best close and made good progress despite hanging as usual, probably costing him 2nd.
4 7 HAPPY HA HA (M381) M L Yeung -- Standard beginning, raced in midfield on rails 4-5Ls back, easy time to bend, took inside runs and made some good progress late to make frame.
5 9 EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) K C Leung B Showed usual speed, took up lead although shaded by horse on outside on circle, !l clear turning, soon headed but stayed on well to just miss frame.
6 3 VICTORY MASTER (M148) K C Ng -- Even getaway, raced 3 wide with cover just off speed, 3Ls back to bend, made run wider but unable to find extra gear, just kept on at same pace late.
7 11 XILAI XIANZI (N088) U Rispoli TT Dropped back to last from outside draw, 7-8Ls away, still last turning, came widest in straight and closed well to be nearest on line.
8 1 LUNAR REFLECTIONS (CL009) H W Lai B Fair getaway, positioned in midfield 3 wide with cover 4-5Ls back, forced wider rounding bend, kept to task and closed off ok despite not really threatening.
9 12 SUMMER DASH (M105) J Lloyd B- Fair jump, raced 5Ls back in running line just off midfield, no excuses in run, didn't quicken in straight and just held ground in run to line.
10 10 TOM'S EIGHTH (CL087) M Du Plessis B-/TT Tardy into stride, taken down to rear from a wide gate, 7Ls or so away, always well back, saved ground along rails and made some minor progress.
11 14 VIVA GUY (CK318) T H So -- Average break, settled back with last few from a tricky draw, 7Ls back in running line, made no impression in straight.
12 2 TOUCH GO (CL254) B Prebble -- Began with rest, settled midfield racing two wide, no excuses in mid section, didn't let down in straight finding extra trip too much of a task.
13 6 CITY POWER (M066) C K Tong B/SR Even getaway, went on with it but posted 3 wide without cover, worked hard up with leaders to bend, folded from 300m after hard run.
14 13 PHAEDO (N150) Y T Cheng SR Showed speed, pressed on to challenge for front shading leader on circle, did share of work to turn, soon capitulated after using too much early.
