1 11 COLOURFUL PRINCE (E418) L Hewitson SR/TT Driven and crossed to the lead, fought on well turning into straight, still 2Ls in front at 200M, ran out of steam late but gamely prevailed by a nose at the line.
2 3 ELON (E272) K Teetan P-/E/PC1 Dropped back on jumping from a wide draw, settled down 3-wide in midfield, ran on well from 300M charging home late, just missed by a nose.
3 12 MIRACULOUS HONOUR (G114) M L Yeung SB-/H Began awkwardly, driven forward to track leader on inside, fought on steadily turning home, found extra late stages to be nearest at the line.
4 7 COOL BLUE (H011) K C Leung TT Caught wide no cover chasing leaders, tried hard from 400M, briefly went 2nd mid-straight, outran late to finish 4th but beaten less than 1L.
5 1 IMPERIAL MAGEE (E460) H Bentley SR/XB/TT Dropped back to race at the tail of the field, swung wide for home, closed off well for 5th but not able to challenge first few.
6 5 DINKUM (G409) Y L Chung CP/TT Chased leaders in 4th early stages, shuffled back to midfield entering home turn, kept on mildly over final 300M, never a winning chance.
7 10 SUPER EAGLE (G408) C Y Ho XB-/TT1 Jumped only fairly from wide gate then dropped back to race at the rear of the field, stayed on final 300M without threatening.
8 6 MEGA BONUS (E184) Z Purton V Jumped fairly, soon moved up to track the pace, in 2nd spot top of the straight, weakened from 200M. (Jockey could offer no excuse for the disappointing performance.)
9 4 LUCKY FUN (E013) M Dee -- Settled towards the rear, steadied near 1000M and 700M, into clear running 400M but ran on only fairly.
10 9 THE MULTIPLIER (E320) H Bowman B/TT Refused to jump with the field and lost a significant amount of ground, 7Ls back in detached last turning for home, ran past a few beaten horses towards the line. (To consecutive barrier trials.)
11 2 CALIFORNIA VANES (G160) K H Chan B/TT Fractious as the start was effected, jumped awkwardly and lost ground, settled behind midfield along the fence, couldn't go on passing 300M.
12 8 MAGIC SUPREME (D144) M Chadwick B/TT Began fairly, held up midfield early stages before moving closer to leaders home turn, failed to pick up early straight, no extra 200M, faded to last.
