1 13 BUDDIES POWER (CB201) A Delpech B/TT Soon led on fence by 1L, skipped 2Ls clear at 600 M, always holding a similar break in homestretch.
2 6 SUPER FANTASY (CD162) C Munce H/TT Towards rear 7Ls off speed at 1000 M, 5Ls down in 9th at top of home straight, vying for a place when over 2Ls down in 3rd at 200 M, no chance with winner but stayed on best of the rest.
3 2 HANDBAG PREMIER (CD137) D Whyte -- 3-back on fence about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed in midfield through to home straight entrance when briefly without clear running, kept on at same pace once clear.
4 3 BRAVE KNIGHT (CC131) C W Wong TT Steadied at 1100 M when about 8Ls off pace in rear bunch, headway to be 5Ls back still worse than midfield off home bend when 4-wide (widest of all), kept on fairly late, nearest at the finish.
5 4 CROWNED GEM (CE056) H W Lai -- Had the run of the race 2Ls off speed in 3rd or 4th until the 600 M when niggled along to lie up, under strong pressure thereafter and just lost out on place inside final 50 M.
6 14 FLASH HARRY (CB180) M W Leung SR 2-wide and 3Ls down in 5th at 1000 M, similarly placed entering home straight, rather one-paced on the run-in.
7 11 SUNRISE LINING (CG030) Y T Cheng -- 3-wide with cover 5Ls off speed in midfield down the back, 4Ls down and a little short of running room from top of stretch to 200 M, might have finished closer with a clearer late passage.
8 1 GOLCONDA (CA111) W C Marwing -- Couldn't lead and soon left 3-wide no cover about 2Ls off speed in 3rd until home straight, over 2Ls down in 2nd at 200 M but petered out late.
9 5 SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) B Prebble -- Slow break, niggled along at 800 M when 6Ls down in 8th place, always outpaced by leading bunch.
10 7 CHERISHED (CB160) F Coetzee TT Niggled along early but soon outpaced and was over 8Ls down in rear at 800 M, always struggling but still made minor late ground past a few very weak rivals.
11 9 CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) O Doleuze CP Flat-footed at start losing at least 6Ls on main bunch, 10Ls last 1200 M, still well behind in rear taking home turn, made some very minor late ground.
12 12 FEBURO (CE203) D Dunn B- Bounded at start, at least 9Ls off pace in rear until the home turn, found zero, very poor effort.
13 10 LIBERAL'S RIDE (CG058) G Schofield B- Crowded at start, 2-wide in 2nd or 3rd place between 1L and 2Ls off pace until home turn, extremely one-paced from then on, dropped out tamely.
14 8 A PLUS FIT (CD013) W M Lai B Failed to muster any dash from the start, about 9Ls off pace at 800 M, always in rear and never dangerous.
