1 4 THUNDER DANCING (CG250) Y T Cheng B 1L back in 3rd at the 900 M, still 3rd but 6Ls behind GAUCHO off final bend, dug in well to overtake the leader inside final strides.
2 10 GAUCHO (CE033) M Chadwick TT Soon led on fence as usual, skipped 5Ls clear off last bend, tired inside final 200 M and headed by the winner inside the final 30 M.
3 5 TAIJI SPIRIT (CD185) K T Yeung V/TT 3-back along fence in 4th down back straight, still 4th but 8Ls down off final bend, ran on strongly in final 200 M to nick a place, nearly got 2nd.
4 3 PLAN B (CJ123) B Prebble TT About 5Ls back in 8th at first but further back still in 5th entering home straight, kept on fairly well to wrap up but always held from the money.
5 1 SILENT DRAGON (CG200) M L Yeung CP/XB 1L back in 2nd at first but about 6Ls down in 2nd into final turn, one-paced to conclude but still never nearer.
6 11 MASTER GREEN (CJ104) S K Sit V 3-wide no cover in midfield at the 1000 M when 7Ls behind, further back making last bend, stayed on only fairly in the finish.
7 6 SUPER SNIPPETS (CG217) D Whyte B Never any better than midfield, between 6Ls and 9Ls from the speed until final turn, never likely to be competitive.
8 2 TOP TOP LIGHT (CG182) C K Tong PC/TT Awkward break, always worse than midfield and never any better than 6Ls from the front, tame effort.
9 12 OASIS DAVIS (CK138) M W Leung SR Didn't break well, never any better than 8Ls from the pace at any point.
10 9 FLY HIGH (CH126) T H So B Very slowly away losing about 4Ls behind remainder, never within 8Ls of the lead at any stage.
11 8 TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) C W Wong H1 4-wide no cover in rear and a long way off the pace at the 800 M, never remotely on terms.
12 7 HAPPY PROGRESSION (CJ313) K L Chui B1 Under pressure throughout, 4-back on the fence at the 800 M when about 8Ls behind leader, lost further ground thereafter.
