1 12 SUNNY DA BEST (J118) K De Melo TT Commenced well, assumed the lead without being pressured to do so, kicked strongly 300M soon holding a commanding lead, kept finding late to maintain margin and score.
2 2 SIXTH GENERATION (G120) C Y Ho B/H/TT Jumped awkwardly, maintained a midfield position, held up 400-300M before coming up with a decent finish to claim a distant 2nd close home.
3 5 WAR OF COURAGE (C483) M Chadwick B From draw 2 soon prominent, tracked leader into straight, tried hard but couldn't close the gap on leader, lay in final 100M and proved difficult to ride out to finish, lost 2nd near line.
4 6 HAPPY DAILY (E294) Y L Chung CP/TT From wide draw took up a forward position tracking the pace, fought gamely throughout the straight to miss a placing narrowly. No threat to runaway winner.
5 8 SUPER UNICORN (H481) K C Leung H1/TT Restrained after the jump, behind midfield and raced keenly after 1000M, steadied 300M then shifted out to center of track for his challenge, finished with some effect and not beaten far by the minor placegetters.
6 10 INVINCIBLE LUCKY (J119) Z Purton B Jumped awkwardly, settled in mid-division, wide into straight but lacked a turn of foot to launch a serious bid. (Mucus / Lame next day.)
7 13 VULCANUS (J150) L Hewitson CP- Jumped only fairly, in touch turning for home but failed to go on final 200M.
8 4 SUGAR BALL (H394) M L Yeung CP-/H/TT From wide draw dropped back to the rear early stages, moved closer to mid-division 900M, had a few ahead as they headed for home but lacked the dash.
9 11 LINK (J177) K Teetan SR/XB Soon towards the rear, had task ahead top of straight 6Ls to make up, made no impression in the run home.
10 14 STRATHBARRY (H413) C L Chau -- Caught wide early, steadied to near last for cover, came wide on the corner then came with a weak finish. Never likely to feature.
11 1 ROBOT MASTER (J107) B Thompson SR/TT From wide draw taken across behind runners to settle behind midfield, briefly held up near 400M but finished off only fairly after.
12 7 MATSU VICTOR (H472) M F Poon -- From wide draw dragged back to race at the rear, had nothing to give final 400M.
13 3 SEIZING THE MOMENT (E444) B Avdulla B Jumped on terms, maintained a midfield spot 3-wide, no cover from 900M, found little on straightening.
14 9 WINNING TURN (J163) H Bentley -- In touch behind leading trio, lay out home turn and found no extra top of straight, weakened to last.
