1 6 GONNA RUN (T094) C Y Ho TT In rear group early stages, moved closer to pace down the back straight, travelled strongly over the home bend, quickened up well to lead nearing 50M, comfortably.
2 7 ISHVARA (S015) H N Wong B/TT Went forward, steadied the race tempo once in the lead, pressed by rivals nearing 600M, kept on well under pressure, headed 50M and was always doing enough to hold 2nd.
3 5 FANTASTIC KAKA (P363) O Doleuze H From draw 1 obtained a trailing position just off the pace, saved ground and travelled well into straight, kept up the chase over final 300M, not pace of winner late stages.
4 9 SUPEROI (T017) G Lerena -- Slow to begin, towards the rear early, switched wide 850M and strolled to join leaders 4-wide, kept on steadily entering straight, one pace final 150M.
5 2 LITTLE DRAGON (S264) K K Chiong -- Caught wide early stages, no cover from 1200M and strolled forward to join leader, battled on entering straight, gave way to pursuers 100M out.
6 4 WINNING LEADER (N268) K Teetan B Slow to begin, taken back from wide barrier, raced as the back-marker for much of the way, closed off fairly down the inside on straightening, never a serious threat.
7 8 PIKACHU (S298) Z Purton -- In midfield early stages, shuffled back to rear down the back straight, hampered by beaten rival home turn, stayed on fairly over final 300M, not reached leaders.
8 10 DASHING KING (T297) B Prebble B Held up in midfield 3-4Ls off the pace, proved very difficult to settle when race tempo slackened 900M, given reminders passing 500M, took time to get going, did best work final 200M.
9 1 INVINCIBLE DRAGON (V166) N Callan H Never far off from leaders, shifted out to 3-wide 800M when pace slackened, gave limited response under pressure, out of contention 200M. (No Vet findings)
10 11 APPROVE (N299) K C Ng B/TT Prominent, caught 3-wide until 1100M, shuffled back a bit entering home turn, struggled to keep up and gave way from 500M.
11 12 CARTOON FAY FAY (N014) J Moreira -- Towards the rear early stages, strode forward along the 3-path when pace slackened middle stages, with leaders making home turn but had little left entering straight, soon beaten and eased.
12 3 TURF SPRINT (T396) N Rawiller H Blundered at the start, in mid-division, proved difficult to settle especially middle stages when race tempo slackened, eased early straight. (Jockey : not able to see out the distance)
