1 5 CHEERFULJET (A188) Z Purton H/XB Led steadily, had uncontested lead to 450M, kept on solidly to the finish bravely holding off challengers from both sides.
2 2 STORM SIGNAL (B055) J Moreira B/XB/TT Tracked leader, moved out from 500M to challenge eventual winner, raced on strongly to line, just held by nose.
3 9 HIGH FIVE (T200) K Teetan -- Jumped on terms to be racing in midfield 2-3Ls back, strongly challenged and every chance throughout the final 200M, just held.
4 7 MASTER ALBERT (A296) U Rispoli TT Reined in to be 5Ls off the pace near last, ran on well between horses but held by first 3.
5 1 SMART BOY (V076) C Schofield CP Settled down 3-wide towards the rear, pulled wide on straightening, stayed on moderately.
6 8 SUPER LEADER (V016) D Whyte TT Dropped back from wide barrier, held up in last 5-6Ls off the leader, made steady progress down outside to finish just behind the place-getters.
7 11 TRIUMPHANT JEWEL (P310) C Y Ho B/TT Settled down in midfield along the 3-path, passed a few over final 300M but never likely.
8 4 FANTASTIC FEELING (T273) N Callan -- In mid-division, on straightening only held ground to the line, never reached contention.
9 10 HERO TIME (B010) K C Leung H/TT Positively ridden out the gate, stayed in touch to pace, couldn't quicken when asked, no threat from 200M. (Mucus.)
10 3 WALDORF (B253) A Sanna B/TT Away well enough, restrained and shuffled back to near rear approaching home turn, couldn't engage with the others on straightening, wilted passing 200M.
11 12 ACE KING (T331) K C Ng SR-/H Slow out, failed to muster early speed, driven into a more forward position after 800M but caught wide no cover to straight, struggled in the run home, soon out of contention.
12 6 HAPPY HAPPY STAR (A011) M L Yeung B Strolled forward to race just behind leader, couldn't go on leaving the bend, weakened noticeably 250M.
