1 2 MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) D Beadman PC Did well to get into 3-back the fence position from wide gate, 4Ls backing 5th off final bend, led at furlong pole, won unchallenged.
2 13 SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) C W Wong B Slowly away but recovered quickly to take up box-seat position over 1L back in 3rd, lacked the winner's turn of foot but best of the rest for 2nd.
3 10 SICHUAN HERO (CJ044) Z Purton B-/PC1/H Best out, nicely placed in 4th in one-out-one-back position no worse than 2Ls off pace through to final bend, held down a place.
4 11 BEST NOODLE (CJ278) M Chadwick TT Taken back to 8Ls last early on the fence, still last and 7Ls behind turning for home, recovered some decent late ground, never nearer. (Riding questioned.)
5 12 MASTER GREEN (CJ104) G Cheyne V/TT No early pace and raced 4-back the rails at halfway, 4Ls back in 7th turning for home, one-paced to conclude.
6 3 SUPER PEGASUS (CH141) W C Marwing B/TT Pressed forward to flank pacesetter in 2nd at halfway, upsides with every chance off last bend, didn't find much off the bridle, faded to midfield.
7 7 MAGIC TURBO (CJ098) O Doleuze SR Midfield throughout, about 4Ls adrift before final bend, briefly loomed a place chance but weakened inside final 200 M.
8 4 KING FAY FAY (CH089) J Lloyd -- 3-wide with cover in rear 6Ls off early pace, launched a brief rally at the 300 M but couldn't follow through.
9 1 DR WELL (CD165) T H So -- Pressed forward to lead by 1L on fence at 1000 M, a neck to the good from 800 M before being headed shortly after straightening, ceded ground rapidly.
10 9 ROCKALOT (CH163) C K Tong B/TT Never travelling well towards the rear some 6Ls from the speed before final turn, always chasing the majority of the field.
11 5 OLYMPICSHIP (CJ283) B Prebble B-/TT1 Never really in the hunt at any stage, 2-wide towards rear at least 5Ls from the lead through to the last bend, no impression. (Questioned for disappointing performance.)
12 8 NAMJONG FIGHTERS (CG308) K W Leung -- Prominent but 3-wide no cover at halfway despite drawing gate 2, began to yield ground before final bend, faded out.
13 6 GOLDEN BALL (CH128) W M Lai B Midfield but 4Ls behind initial pace, 4-wide no cover on the circle when further behind, very weak in the straight.
