1 2 GOLDLAND DANCER (N316) H Bowman B Enjoyed a soft trip on the back of the leader along the rails. Finished off well and edged clear after the furlong.
2 11 RECORD AGAIN (P197) C K Tong B Sent forward and led on the paint. Maintained a sound gallop down the running.
3 4 VERDANE (P184) J Moreira B Parked behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Made a forward move near the 600m, and was prominent on the home turn, straightening up 5 deep. Peaked on its effort after the 200m, one paced thereafter.
4 1 PEPPERMINT (M192) O Doleuze TT Slow to begin, settling with backmakers, 2 wide with cover. Got going after the 600m, following the frontrunners. Couldn't sustain effort, tiring late.
5 9 KING'S FOLKS (N296) T Berry B Settled midfield the fence, had cover. Kept battling away down the running.
6 5 SUPERKING DRAGON (N318) B Prebble B/TT Settled in 2nd position, 1 off no cover. Whacked away at the same speed in the run home.
7 3 ROBUST MOMENTUM (P422) Z Purton B-/P1/TT1 Settled close to midfield, 2 deep with cover. Started to improve after the 600m, was one paced in the run home.
8 6 XILAI XIANZI (N088) K C Leung B/TT Travelled worse than midfield, on the rails with cover. Struggled in the home stretch.
9 10 KING HARADASUN (N396) K Teetan B/H/TT Went back and settled at the rear on the paint with cover. Swung deep on the home turn but never let down.
10 8 GOLD TALENT (S113) H W Lai B Had every hope after settling 1 out 1 back. Disappointed for running near the 500m, was a beaten horse soon after.
11 7 CHATER D'CAT (CK119) D Whyte B/TT Ridden along early but couldn't go the early speed, settling in last position, 1 off with cover. Was under pressure for most of the trip, didn't respond and was never in the hunt.
