1 1 VANILLA (P439) M L Yeung B Began fairly, ridden but no speed, dropping to midfield along rail 4L from leader. Made good ground around final turn to be 2nd into straight, hit the front 280m, bolted home under hands and heels riding.
2 5 GOLD DRAGON (S339) C Schofield B/TT Began fairly, no early speed, dropping behind midfield but holding fence. Shaken up passing 550m, tracked winner into straight, kept chasing despite widening gap.
3 14 CONSISTENT (T045) M Chadwick H Hard ridden from widest gate to get forward position, taking first turn 3-wide before settling 3L from leader back stretch but without cover. Shaken up 500m, looked chance on entering straight, boxed on gamely.

5 10 DIAMOND FRIENDS (S376) C Y Ho H/P/TT Jumped OK, restrained and shifted across behind horses, settling at rear in one-off position. Dropped to last passing 950m, still last entering straight before finishing off nicely, doing best work final stages.
6 3 EXPEDITE (N111) K Teetan XB-/H/PC Broke well, unable to handle early pace and slipped back to rear in one-off position. Was not asked for an effort until straightening for home when taken to centre track and ran on steadily.
7 13 DIGITAL PIONEER (V177) T H So B Began fairly, restrained and shifted across behind runners to rail, settling at rear. Left flat-footed 600m when tempo increased, took rails run in straight, ran on nicely to 100m when flattened.

11 7 DRAGON HARMONY (T283) J Moreira B/TT Bounced best, taken to front and travelled strongly, setting good pace. Well clear entering straight but under pressure passing 300m and weakened. Unacceptable performance.
12 12 TRUE COMMENT (S328) A Badel CP/TT Quickly away, pressed forward, seltling 4L from leader in one-off position. Under pressure home turn, losing position, and found nothing in straight under hard riding.
