1 1 ISLAND SUPER (CH297) E Saint-Martin -- Out in line, posted 3 wide in midfield 4Ls away, gradually improved 4 wide with cover on bend, continued to progress to 200 M, let down nicely late to hit lead and score narrowly.
2 13 STAR OF FAME (CH043) K T Yeung TT Jumped with rest, taken back to race 6Ls away in 3 wide line, improved on bend, came widest in straight, did best work last 200 M and was denied narrowly despite a late surge.
3 6 CRAIG'S DRAGON (CH131) D Beadman -- Began fairly, rushed up to work across to race outside lead, had a fair run in mid-section, right there at 400 M, kept finding and hit front at 150 M and just ran out of condition late to miss major prize.
4 7 TOY STORY (CJ217) D Whyte -- Jumped reasonably, settled 3 wide 3 to 4Ls away in mid-division, had cover throughout, travelled evenly turning, kept coming when run emerged to finish a handy 4th.
5 14 HONEST TREASURE (CE200) W M Lai B/TT Well enough to begin, trapped 4 wide without cover 3Ls back, always working on bend, 1L down turning, kept coming in straight to be not far away in finish.
6 12 LUCKY FRUIT (CG026) S K Sit B Reasonable jump, raced 2Ls back 3 wide without cover, did it tough in mid-section despite having pace to suit, 1L down challenging on turning, kept on to 100 M before tiring last bit.
7 4 FEVER PITCH (CH326) F Coetzee B-/H Awkwardly away, ended up 6Ls back in running line, tracked 3 wide between horses at 400 M, didn't see much daylight but did do best work late when clear.
8 3 BOOMING CITY (CE325) Y T Cheng B/TT Among first few to break, took a trail behind leader, had ideal run throughout, held up to 200 M, didn't quicken when run emerged but did hold ground last 50 M.
9 9 KILDARE (CJ198) M Du Plessis SR/H Standard jump, pushed on to take up running, set pace to suit in front, worried in front by outside horse, tackled at 250 M and gave little dropping off last furlong.
10 11 MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) B Prebble -- No pace from jump ended up 6Ls away on rails, pace didn't really suit, well back on bend, held up to 200 M, made some minor late progress without threatening.
11 5 TRULLI (CH327) O Doleuze B/TT Missed start by 2Ls, recovered to race 5Ls back in 2 wide line, travelled evenly between horses on bend, lacked a sprint and just battled away in finish. (Rider concerned over action.)
12 8 FLY HIGH (CH126) H W Lai -- Moderate jump, ended up in midfield 3 to 4Ls back on fence, used nothing in run, flat footed when they sprinted at 400 M and just plodded to line late.
13 2 KING PRAWN SUPREME (CJ076) Z Purton -- Began with first few, had ideal spot 1 out 1 back with cover, tracked a steady pace to bend, didn't let down on turning and faded out easily.
14 10 MISSION (CH073) C W Wong B/TT No pace from jump, settled at tail 7Ls back on rails, unsuited by speed, still well back on turning, unable to improve and just held position last 200 M.
