1 10 EXECUTIVE MANDATE (S149) K C Leung TT Began well, raced handily along the fence just behind leader, quickened to lead inside 200M, kept on well to hold off pursuing rivals.
2 1 ROYAL PARTNER (N394) A Suborics TT Began awkwardly, guided to the fence and sat 5Ls off the pace, unable to improve position until passing 300M, charged through a narrow passage mid-straight and mounted a late challenge, just held.
3 11 WRATH OF FIRE (L420) C Y Ho -- Settled midfield along the fence, waited with till passing 300M, chased home the winner but always held.
4 3 GOOD CHOICE (P423) M Chadwick XB Held up in mid-division along the 2 path, stayed on well over final 300M and pushed winner all the way to the finish, lost out on 3rd narrowly.
5 12 AGIAAL (N177) J Moreira CP Eased to a 2-wide spot behind mid-division, fanned 3-wide into straight, stayed on evenly for a moderate 5th.
6 9 REDWOOD BABY (P358) M Demuro B/TT Dropped back to a rearward spot 7-8Ls off the pace, switched away from fence entering home turn, closed off final 400m fastest, nearest finish.
7 5 BULLISH SMART (S221) K C Ng TT Sent forward, slowed down tempo once crossed to the lead passing 1200M, kept on same pace turning in, headed inside 200M, weakened towards line.
8 2 WILLIE INVICTUS (S255) U Rispoli B Never far off in 5th, 2.5L behind leader, driven out 400M, had every chance but lacked the needed response, flattened out late stages.
9 4 HOLMES LEGEND (N375) D Whyte H Caught 3-wide in midfield but raced with cover, swung wide 400M, stayed on mildly and never a serious threat.
10 6 PO CHING TREASURE (S388) N Rawiller B Strolled forward, tracked leader one out one back, came under pressure nearing home straight, faded out of contention passing 250M.
11 7 LEVEL PLAYER (N323) O Doleuze V1/TT Switched off to the rear, not helped by slow pace middle stages, moved to 3-wide and swung widest home, ran on same pace final 300M.
12 8 TOP ACT (P435) M Guyon V/TT More prominently placed than the most recent start, 3-wide and left without cover from 1200M, found disappointingly little when driven along 450M, soon dropped out of contention.
