1 7 HAPPY GOLF (H056) H Bowman TT- Began well to be up with early leaders before sitting back to race ahead of midfield, quickened up smoothly to lead 250M, continued on well to the line for a comfortable win.
2 8 EASY SNIP (G211) C L Chau B Jumped only fairly, soon taken across behind runners and settled in a 2-wide spot towards the rear, made good progress from 350M, got up for 2nd near 50M, held by winner final stages.
3 3 MODULECONSTRUCTION (H127) C Y Ho H-/TT Chased leaders, had every chance turning home, not finishing pace of winner mid-straight, hung on for 2nd until near 50M.
4 12 STARRY NIGHT (G253) K Teetan B/TT Settled ahead of midfield, brought wide to challenge 350M, stayed on mildly for non-threatening 4th.
5 5 RED HARE KING (H188) Y L Chung TT1 Hard driven out the gate, moved up to press leader on outside, hung out throughout the majority of race, kept on same pace in the straight. (Racing manners unacceptable.)
6 2 LASER VICTORY (H176) Z Purton TT Tracked leaders, checked 350M when going for a narrow passage, inclined to shift ground when placed under pressure and failed to make up ground after. (Jockey expressed concern with its action.)
7 11 SPEED FAY FAY (D121) H Bentley B In midfield but unable to slot in, no closer than 3-wide throughout, ran on fairly passing 400M, never a serious threat.
8 6 WATCH BUDDY (H185) A Badel -- Jumped only fairly, took up a midfield position along the 2-path, driven along 450M but never going the pace to challenge leaders.
9 1 EIGHT TRIGRAMS (C102) H T Mo B/TT Worked to the lead, set pace from 900M while under pressure from a rival on outside, lacked further response after being headed 300M, weakened towards the line.
10 9 GLENEALY GENERALS (B475) R Maia B/XB From widest draw dropped back to race at the back, had no clear running early straight, ran on fairly when switched out passing 300M. No threat on leaders.
11 10 FLYING GALLOP (G472) M F Poon TT Began awkwardly, obtained running in midfield, pushed along 500M but failed to reach contention.
12 4 MOON CATCHER (G218) M Chadwick H1/P1/TT1 Unhurried after the start, dropped back to race at the rear, became detached passing 800M, didn't respond to urging, never in the picture.
