1 1 GOLDEN EMPIRE (E490) L Hewitson B From wide draw pressed forward to track leaders, bumped near 600M and taken wider, hit the line well under top weight to be leading near 50M, held off runner up late.
2 5 PRIME MORTAR (G328) Y L Chung V/TT Settled down midfield, raced keenly in the middle stages, picked up fairly well final 300M, drove late and just missed.
3 11 DRACO (J115) K C Leung CP/TT Crowded on jumping, went forward from a wide draw to be chasing leader, fought on well to the line, outpaced by first two final stages.
4 2 LEAN MASTER (H134) E C W Wong B/TT Sped to the lead from draw 12, kept going well early straight, caught nearing 50M and faded to finish 4th.
5 12 SOLAR UP (J134) K Teetan PC-/H/P2/TT On jumping was crowded, checked near 1000M and shuffled back to near the rear, had some work to do top of straight, closed off steadily for 5th but posed little threat to first three.
6 10 BULB EMPEROR (J241) A Hamelin B/TT Away well, tracked the pace on inside, moved up to 2nd spot early straight, battled on over final 200M but was out-finished late.
7 6 ACCOLADE START (H331) A Badel XB/B2/TT Held up in midfield, driven wide into straight, kept on fairly to the line. Lay in closing stages and not ridden out to the finish.
8 4 JUDY'S GREAT (J016) H T Mo TT From draw 1 obtained a position ahead of midfield, raced keenly mid-stages, kept on same pace in the straight and was always held by leaders. (Jockey : made abnormal breathing noise during race.)
9 7 ICONICAL (J504) C Y Ho TT Began fairly, reserved in second half of the field, bustled along home turn but lacked a finishing kick over final 300M.
10 9 BRAVE OF FRIENDS (J382) H Bentley CP/XB Jumped only fairly, dropped back to last from wide draw, plenty to make up 400M but gave limited response only.
11 3 BEAUTY THUNDER (J299) M Chadwick TT From wide draw taken across behind runners, 7Ls behind leader on settling, closed off fairly on straightening, never a threat. (Jockey : did not travel well with the early stages being run inside of standard time.)
12 8 THE DOUBLE EAGLE (J342) M L Yeung B Settled in back half of the field early stages, raced wide no cover and drifted back to last rounding the turn, already beaten top of straight.
