1 9 LUNAR ZEPHYR (V385) D Whyte TT Jumped well and ridden forward to contest before easing out of speed battle to follow leading pair. Eased around heels upon straightening and was strong to the line.
2 5 VICTORY POWER (B294) Z Purton H-/B Jumped fairly and was ridden up for first 200m to gain midfield position. Had soft run on fence following eventual winner. Came across heels and ran on well in straight.
3 4 ROMAN ODYSSEY (A092) C Y Ho TT Eased back across the rear of the field to position well back off the fence. Improved between runners approaching the straight and made good late ground in the run to the line.
4 12 MULTIMAX (T129) H T Mo B/TT Jumped well but could not cross early speed inside so elected to ease back to midfield three horses off the fence. Was asked to again improve from 600m before taking the bend wide and then making good ground in the straight.
5 11 RAICHU (V414) K Teetan TT Restrained right back to the rear of the field on the fence after jumping. Attempted to improve after the 400m but was badly inconvenienced, losing well over a length. Rallied late in the straight.
6 2 MR RIGHT (T334) N Callan H/P Commenced fast and led in early stages before challenged on outside. Maintained rail position in middle stages but absorbed too much pressure and gave ground inside final 200m. Rider expressed concern with horse's action.
7 10 OCEAN ROAR (N317) M L Yeung -- Was ridden forward but did not have pace of first three, before settling in good position behind speed. Was brushed by another runner approaching turn but was never a genuine threat.
8 7 OSCAR MAGIC (B278) S Clipperton V One of the slowest into stride before positioning third last on the fence. Was shuffled back to the tail approaching the straight and never flattered in the run to the line.
9 6 HAPPY COOPERATION (T392) C Wong H/TT Taken back to the tail of the field shortly after the start, positioned one horse off the fence. Asked to improve from well back in the field but was pushed wide on straightening and never threatened.
10 8 FAME AND FORTUNE (B082) M F Poon B-/XB1/TT- Began moderately and was then ridden up to maintain just worse than midfield position one off the fence. Was niggled at to maintain position due to solid pace in early and middle stages.
11 3 NICE FANDANGO (A209) H N Wong B/H/TT Began well and showed customary fast pace to cross towards lead. Got to lead but could not get to rail so subsequently sat outside horse in second position. Weakened out from 200m.
12 1 DASHING GAINER (A412) K C Leung H/P Commenced well and was ridden forward before easing behind leading trio but positioned three horses off fence. Began to give ground from 450m and was never a threat.
