1 6 SAUL'S SPECIAL (A293) O Doleuze B/H Always prominent along stand's rail, bustled along halfway, gained lead 200M, held on well to the line.
2 12 SUPERICH (B257) J Moreira SR/TT Began only fairly, niggled along and improved to be 2L behind leader, tried hard final 400M but couldn't reel in winner.
3 13 NICE FANDANGO (A209) H N Wong H/TT Jumped on terms to lead, inclined to lay in throughout, unable to hold off winner 200M, fought on to line, lost 2nd close home but reasonably clear from rest.
4 9 GREEN CARD (V126) D Whyte B/TT In touch within 2Ls of leader, kept on evenly under pressure final 400M, not reached first 3.
5 5 BEAUTY LOYAL (B383) Z Purton TT1 Close up behind leaders, couldn't quicken with leaders passing 400M, awkwardly placed 200M, boxed on without threat.
6 11 SPARKLING DRAGON (B033) A Sanna TT1 From a low draw raced towards the outside of group, never far off from the pace, battled away only, tiring from 200M.
7 3 HAPPY TIME (B272) K C Leung TT1 Sat just off the speed, worked home fairly without threatening.
8 1 KA YING LEGEND (B234) N Callan TT Settled down 3-4Ls off the pace in mid-division, couldn't accelerate when required, never a winning chance.
9 10 C P POWER (V037) C Wong V/TT Outpaced early, towards the rear 5-6Ls back, failed to pick up passing halfway, never involved.
10 7 SUPER FUN (A408) M Chadwick H Slow to begin, not hurried raced at the tail of the 13-horse field, 7-8Ls back in running, plodded past a couple of well beaten horses only.
11 2 JOY MASTER (B222) T H So -- Settled down 3Ls off the pace, couldn't quicken when driven out mid-way, not pressured after 200M when beaten.
12 4 VERY LUCKY (A380) K C Ng B1 Pressed forward from draw 1, couldn't hold his position passing halfway, weakened badly to finish tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)
13 8 BEAUTY TIME (A374) M L Yeung H/TT Towards the rear along stand's rail, out of touch passing 500M, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)
