1 10 SUNRISE (CK026) B Prebble H Quietly handled in 12th at least 7Ls or 8Ls from the lead through to home straight, quickened up well out wide to lead 70 M out, had more in reserve.
2 7 STEEL NERVES (CG320) C Soumillon B 4-back the rails in 7th at halfway, 4Ls back in 6th turning in, hung out while quickening up to lead briefly 150 M out, no answer to winner's late surge.
3 13 FANTASTIC TIME (CH220) S K Sit SR/V Slow to muster pace, 3-back on fence about 3Ls back at first, 2Ls back in 4th off last bend, briefly led 250 M out but couldn't sustain the run.
4 9 CHIEF WITNESS (CJ219) M Chadwick TT Disputed early pace on fence, a neck clear entering home straight, headed about 250 M out and one-paced from then on.
5 3 OCEAN PRINCE (CK066) W C Marwing -- Went back from wide gate, 3-wide with cover down the back, 7Ls off leaders in 8th or 9th off last turn, recovered a little late ground without threatening.
6 5 MIGHTY WINNER (CJ303) D Beadman CP1/TT 5Ls or 6Ls back in mid-division until the 500 M, closer and with place prospects 300 M out, run peaked soon afterwards. (Questioned for poor performance.)
7 1 RELY ON ME (CE068) K C Leung B/TT Pressed forward and about a neck back in 2nd until the home straight, lacked a turn of foot and weakened out final 200 M.
8 12 VICTORY MASCOT (CJ243) C K Tong TT Taken back from wide gate, 9Ls last at the 1000 M, still well back off last bend, ran on past a few spent rivals in the straight.
9 2 EASY WIN (CJ288) Y T Cheng -- 3-wide before taking up 'one-out-one-back' position about 2Ls off pace at 1000 M, 3Ls back in 5th and pressured to lie up off last bend, faded out steadily. (Mucus.)
10 8 BAJAN BELL (CG142) D Whyte B Went back to a one-from-rear position at the 1000 M, always rearward and offered no threat whatsoever.
11 11 SAVUTE (CE326) T H So V Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls from the pace until the home straight, couldn't live with the principals.
12 6 VISIONARIO (CJ095) J Victoire CP Awkward break, worse than midfield throughout, 6Ls adrift at the 800 M and further back cornering for the line, yet another very tame performance. (Blood in trachea.)
13 14 JOY TRUMPS (CD242) M W Leung TT On the rails near the tail throughout, 6Ls off speed at halfway and worse off taking last bend, no impression.
14 4 SHAXI BABY (CJ122) M Du Plessis -- Unacceptable display, 3Ls back in 5th or 6th initially but sank through the field on the circle and eased when well beaten.
