1 12 ABSOLUTE FANTASY (M284) Y T Cheng TT In 4th never far off the pace, moved sweetly into contention 350M, chased leader strongly, bumped by that rival 50M out, ran on again to be nearest at the finish. (Finished 2nd, placed 1st.)
2 4 RACING HERO (N157) Z Purton B Prominently ridden, responded well turning in, led 200M out, drifted into a rival nearing 50M, held on just. (Finished 1st, placed 2nd.)
3 5 SLICK BULLET (N141) C Y Ho P-/XB Driven to the lead, took them along at slow pace, all out inside 300M but couldn't match the first two for finishing speed inside 200M.
4 10 PERI PERI SAFFRON (N055) K C Leung B Held up behind midfield, probably not helped by the slow pace, driven near 300M, made steady progress and kept battling away to post.
5 7 FORGIVE AND FORGET (N303) T Clark H Taken back to the rear from wide barrier, hampered by the slow pace, shifted out 3-wide and strode forward 700M, stayed on well before hampered near 50M.

8 9 MING HOI TREASURE (CK145) H W Lai CP/TT Held up near the rear about 8Ls off leader, not helped by slow pace, switched 3-wide and strode closer to leaders passing 500M, made some progress in straight but was never a serious threat.
9 6 XILAI XIANZI (N088) M Chadwick TT Reserved near the rear, behind a wall of horses turning in, held up to 200M, ran on one-paced.
