1 7 KEEP ME (CJ079) H W Lai B Box-seated or 3-back the fence behind a strong pace before straightening when going well, quickened up to lead about 150 M out, kept on strongly.
2 2 SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) J Lloyd B No early pace, 8Ls last 600 M out, suited by the strong tempo and ran over the top of several rivals to nick 2nd late.
3 10 ROCKALOT (CH163) B Prebble B/TT 4-back the rails about 6Ls off in 10th at 1000 M, 5Ls back turning for home, ran on well late, done for 2nd close home.
4 12 SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) C W Wong B- Disputed fast pace at 1200 M, still upsides out 2-wide off home turn, was entitled to wilt after working hard so he did well to hold down 4th. (Tactic questioned.)
5 8 HEALTHY BLUEBERRY (CK222) Y T Cheng -- Disputed a speedy tempo on fence at 1100 M, still upsides taking final bend, weakened out of the picture inside final 200 M.
6 1 STEEL NERVES (CG320) S K Sit -- Midfield on the inner within 3Ls or 4Ls from the speed before final bend, had his chance to place but lacked a change of gear.
7 5 MARK UP (CK247) O Doleuze -- Awkward break, settled 9th at the 1200 M, over-raced at the 800 M when 4Ls back, 5-wide (widest) off last bend in 10th, one-paced to wrap up.
8 4 NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) J Victoire -- Switched inside from widest gate, 2-wide and rear at 1000 M, soon 3-wide with cover, hampered entering straight, never likely from then on.
9 6 SPLENDID CHAMPION (L041) K L Chui TT1 In front rank 1L off pace but 3-wide no cover from 1200 M to 600 M, struggling to keep up turning in, very one-paced.
10 3 LUCKY MONEY (CE159) M W Leung V Slow to muster early pace, wide off first bend and pressed on 4-wide no cover from the 700 M, 1L down in 3rd entering straight, soon faded.
11 11 NAMJONG FIGHTERS (CG308) C K Tong B 4-wide no cover at the 1300 M, soon got cover and 3Ls back at halfway, hampered into homestretch, weakened.
12 9 MARVELLOUS (CH026) G Cheyne V/TT Held the 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th or so just forward of the winner KEEP ME until the 800 M, very weak in the final quarter.
