1 5 BEAUTY KINGDOM (T189) K K Chiong B/TT Pushed forward early to ensure he had a share of the lead, on the fence. Ran strongly in the straight, without kicking clear. Started to fade last 50m, but just enough in the tank to hold on.
2 4 SUNNY WAY (V176) Z Purton XB/TT Taken up from the wide draw to sit forward of midfield. Unsettled and checked off heels 1100m. Well placed at the front at the top of the straight. Dropped off slightly 200m, but strong late and was catching winner.
3 6 MONGOLIAN KING (A098) U Rispoli B Dropped back early from the wide draw to sit towards the rear of the field, 3 wide. Ran strongly in the straight and made up a lot of ground.
4 9 ROUNDABOUT (T352) H N Wong SR Began awkwardly, but recovered to push forward and lead. Faded out from the 150m, but still held 4th. Found to have bled.
5 10 GREEN ENERGY (A095) C Schofield H/TT Cruised forward early and settled behind midfield. Had to come wide in the straight to get clear running, eventually kicking at 200m. Ran very strongly from that point.
6 12 OUTLAWED (T100) S Clipperton CP Crowded and then steadied on jumping. Taken forward to sit midfield, on the fence. Progressed solidly in the straight, without threatening a place.
7 3 LUCKY DOUBLE EIGHT (P212) C Y Ho -- Taken up to settle forward of midfield. Off heels for a run at the top of the straight, but only 1 paced to the line.
8 2 TRAVEL FIRST (T098) K C Ng TT Pushed forward from the inside draw to settle just behind the leaders, on the fence. Dropped back quickly from the 250m.
9 7 ALL BEST FRIENDS (A217) D Whyte -- Taken up early to be handily placed 3rd/4th, 1 off the fence. Lost a run 550m. Plugged on fairly early in the straight. Awkwardly placed on heels at 200m, but already fading out by then.
10 1 TOP ACT (P435) O Doleuze H/TT Settled towards the rear of the field. Widest on the turn, but only plugged away fairly in the straight.
11 11 CELESTIAL ARROW (A169) H T Mo B/TT Taken up early to sit midfield. Unsettled from the 1200m, and started throwing his head around at 1000m. Didn't kick in the run home.
12 13 WUSHU CHAMPION (V301) K Teetan B/H Dropped back early to get cover and settled at the rear of the field. Wider on the turn, but never responded to pressure in the straight.
13 14 NONE OTHER (S349) M L Yeung B/TT Sat around midfield, but was being pressed forward throughout and raced wide for the trip. Prominent on the turn, but dropped out quickly soon after.
14 8 HEHA BOY (A232) H W Lai H1 Stumbled out of the barriers and dropped back early. At the back of the pack, and played no part in the race.
