1 3 FUN (CH282) E Saint-Martin -- Led by 1L on fence at the 1000 M, made all thereafter and always repelling his pursuers in the straight.
2 9 NATURAL FLAME (CK016) B Prebble -- Travelled nicely in 5th with cover about 2-1/2Ls from the speed until home straight, stayed on well for 2nd but couldn't seriously test the winner.
3 5 COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) C K Tong -- Best out and box-seated on fence in 2nd or 3rd about 1L from the pace until home straight, did well to hang on for a place.
4 2 BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) D Whyte B2/TT 3-back the fence, in 6th or so 3Ls from speed until the final turn, had his chance to place but lacked the acceleration.
5 7 LIONS' FORTUNE (CJ114) W C Marwing H-/B1/TT Slowly away, 4-back on the rails and 4Ls down in 8th or so swinging for home, made some good late ground along the rails.
6 1 RED RULER (CH198) D Oliver TT Went back from a wide gate, in 10th at least 5Ls from the speed until home straight, recovered some good late ground, never nearer.
7 4 KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) W M Lai B Vied for 2nd place out 2-wide and 1L behind pacesetter until home straight, one-paced and run out of the money closing stages.
8 8 SOU MA TAM (CH253) C Soumillon B 3-wide no cover throughout, 2Ls off pace in 4th from 1000 M to final turn, yielded ground final 200 M after tough passage. (Questioned.)
9 12 SIMPLY JOY (CH052) M L Yeung -- 2-wide in midfield at first, 4Ls behind with cover turning in, never likely to make much headway.
10 10 RAINBOW STAR (CJ275) Z Purton -- Always rearward, at least 6Ls from the speed through to the home straight, ran on okay without threatening.
11 6 NATIONAL GLORY (CJ176) G Mosse B Slowly away, around midfield 4Ls from the speed down the back, 5-wide off last bend, very one-paced.
12 11 HAPPY ELITE (CD306) O Doleuze XB/B2/TT Slowly away, 8Ls last at halfway, never competitive.
