1 9 SAFETY FIRST (CG161) D Nikolic B/H Average jump, regathered to hold leaders back, obtained run of race with slow tempo, had easy time to bend, bumped way into clear at 400 M, let down nicely and draw 3/4L clear at 200 M, stuck on well late to hold them out.
2 5 MAINLAND SHUTTLE (CG315) G Mosse -- Ordinary getaway, settled next to last on rails 5Ls off them, unsuited by slow speed, kept to rails and saved ground to bend, made up plenty of ground along paint to be right there on line.
3 11 MUTUAL FUN (CH098) K T Yeung SR Moderate beginning, urged along to take a midfield role on rails 3Ls back, not help by slow tempo but tracked nicely to bend, held up early in straight, got clear from 200 M and finished nicely for 3rd.
4 13 SPACED (CG034) Y T Cheng TT First to leave gates, didn't have speed to lead but ended up at leaders girth, had a nice trip with the easy speed on, right there on bend and took over at 400 M, kept on evenly but couldn't hold them out late.
5 4 MAVERICK (CE199) W M Lai TT Standard jump, soon in rearward division, raced 2 wide 4 to 5Ls off them, not suited by slow speed, came 3 wide with a trail on circle, urged along turning, made good ground down outside to be nearest on line.
6 10 CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) C W Wong B Fair start, slotted in to running line 3 to 4Ls back, had an even run between horses on circle, in traffic turning in, didn't see much daylight until 250 M when cut back to inside, finished at the same speed.
7 8 FAIR WIN (CE027) E Saint-Martin -- Away with line, caught wide from an awkward alley, raced 3 wide with cover 2 to 3Ls back, had a good trail on bend, switched 4 wide turning in and let down nicely but run ended at 200 M and faded late.
8 12 RICH FOR ALL (CG023) A Delpech B Standard break, regathered to take up coveted 1 out 1 back spot, had great trip with easy speed, right there on turning but bumped and pushed wide, couldn't find usual finish and just faded out last 200 M.
9 1 LIFELINE RAPIDE (CD204) M Nunes TT Amongst first few to begin, pushed on but forced to race 3 wide without cover from a wide draw, 1 to 2Ls back working to bend, struggling turning in, lacked a finish in straight and run ended at 200 M. Battled to line.
10 2 PRESENT TREASURE (CC077) C K Tong TT Fast out, pressed on to take up lead, controlled race from top end setting a slow speed, held a half length advantage on bend, there to 300 M but couldn't keep on and dropped out badly last furlong.
11 3 DANSOLDE (CE157) O Doleuze V Average jump, restrained from wide alley, raced slightly detached at tail 7Ls off speed, tacked on rounding bend 2 wide, last turning and eased wide, lacked usual finish and just battled making no progress in straight.
