1 2 IVICTORY (A257) J Moreira -- Positively ridden on jumping from wide draw, tracked leader before taking over 350M, quickened to a commanding lead mid straight, well on top 100M out, coasted home.
2 12 TRIUMPHANT JEWEL (P310) H T Mo B/TT Dropped back from draw 12, settled last for the first 600M, brought widest on straightening, kept on solidly for 2nd but couldn't pose serious threat to the easy winner.
3 4 RADIANT STEED (V127) P-C Boudot B/XB/TT Couldn't slot in racing wide no cover in midfield, chased steadily over final 300M to just miss 2nd on the line, no match to easy winner though.
4 5 JADE THEATRE (A040) Z Purton B Began well from draw 1 to be chasing leaders in 3rd, kept battling in the straight without getting closer to the winner, unable to hold off 2nd and 3rd final 100M.
5 10 BACK IN BLACK (T358) K Teetan -- Restrained in midfield about 4Ls off leader, saved ground on the rails, kept grinding home and unable to improve position.
6 1 FORTUNE BO BO (V017) H N Wong B/TT Emerged as leader passing 1000M, given a breather 700M, relinquished the lead 350M, fought on to 150M, faded towards the finish.
7 8 WHO ELSE BUT YOU (T341) M L Yeung H Never far off from leaders, 4th turning home and well placed to strike, had his chance, only held ground over final 200M.
8 6 CHARITY GLORY (T302) N Rawiller CP/TT Hampered shortly after the start and ended up in the 8th spot further back than intended, caught 3-wide in midfield, kept on only fairly on straightening, never a winning chance.
