1 13 GOLDEN BOY (CJ263) M W Leung B/H/TT Darted straight to the front and led by 3Ls at 1000m; briefly headed shortly into straight; rallied; led again; pulled clear inside final 100m.
2 2 ALMIGHTY (CK006) K W Leung P Slow to muster early pace; rearward through first half; 7Ls down in 12th cornering in; ran on strongly to a nick 2nd in final stride.
3 4 MASTER TOWER (CK012) T H So -- Sat 2nd initially; 3Ls back in 2nd tracking winner 700m out; briefly led at top of home straight; couldn't sustain; all out to hang onto a place.
4 8 WING MASTER (CK258) W Pike B-/XB/P1/TT 2-wide and 8th or 9th about 7Ls off speed down the back; closer off last bend; every chance of a place at 200m; missed out in final strides.
5 12 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) M L Yeung B Niggled along in rear initially; 8Ls off speed at halfway; marginally closer turning for home; ran on well late on; never nearer.
6 10 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) Z Purton -- 5-back on rails in 12th at 1200m; 5Ls off in midfield turning in; checked 250m out and tight for room at 100m; possibly unlucky not to place.
7 1 WESTERN STAR (CK299) J Victoire B 4-back the rails about 5Ls off speed at halfway; a little closer on straightening; looked to have his chance to place but lacked a turn of foot.
8 3 LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) O Doleuze -- Caught wide no cover at first; 3-wide with cover in mid-division 6Ls off leaders at halfway; never looked like drawing much closer than midfield.
9 11 EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) C K Tong B Awkward break; about 4Ls off pace in 4th at 1000m; a little closer on straightening but soon pressured and yielded ground rapidly.
10 7 WADADELIGHT (CC340) D Beadman B Midfield 5Ls off pace with cover at the 1000m; close enough if good enough before last bend; very weak inside final 200m despite easy trip.
11 6 NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) B Doyle CP Always rearward; still 10Ls last at 600m; widest turning for home; no real impression.
12 14 WEALTH SYNERGY (CJ133) G Cheyne B/H Handily placed in 4th on fence at the 1200m; 4Ls back in similar spot at halfway; surrendered tamely in the straight despite the soft run.
13 5 MASTER GREEN (CJ104) W C Marwing V/TT Never much of a factor; always at least 5Ls or so from the speed in rear.
14 9 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) Y T Cheng B Caught a little wide in places; midfield 5Ls off pace at halfway; closer turning in but found zero off the bit; to trial.
