1 11 DIAMOND DRAGON (V002) C Y Ho B/H/XB Began very awkwardly, became unbalanced and dropped back to the rear of the field. Still last at the 250m, and showed an enormous turn of foot to accelerate home and win in the shadows of the post.
2 7 CALCULATION (A248) Z Purton E Allowed to go forward early to be well placed 4th. Badly held up on heels until a run opened up at 300m. Stayed on strongly and led at 100m. Was pulling away from the field, but caught by a huge run on the line.
3 12 ALL YOU NEED (A006) B Prebble CP/H/XB Fairly away and cruised forward to settle just behind midfield. Came wider on the turn and stayed on solidly in the straight. Well positioned late, but peaked towards the end of the run and lucky to hold 3rd.
4 13 C P POWER (V037) A Badel V/TT Slow away and then pushed forward to settle midfield. No clear run until 300m, and took time to get momentum going. Strong run late was rapidly gaining on 3rd.
5 14 ALCARI (A354) U Rispoli -- Pushed forward from the wide draw to have an early share of the lead. Still in front at 150, but ran out of puff from there and was swamped late.
6 3 DUKEDOM (V372) D Whyte P Dropped back early for the wide draw to sit at the rear of the field. Plugged away early in the straight, before kicking in the last 150m and was staying on well late.
7 6 LADY FIRST (B013) S Clipperton H1 Eased forward early to settle forward of midfield. Struggled for a run in the straight, only clear in the last 50m and not fully tested.
8 2 FORTUNE PATROL (A245) T Berry B Fairly away and eased into stride to sit towards the rear of the field. Boxed in for most of the straight, and was never fully tested in the run to the line.
9 8 NUCLEAR POWER (A244) M F Poon H Cruised forward to settle around midfield. Awkward on heels 900m. Never got clear until it was too late, and went to the line with a lap full of horse.
10 5 TANG FLEMING (A067) J Moreira B/TT Eased across to eventually settle worse than midfield. Bumped and awkward on heels 900m. Clear from 300m, but only plugged away fairly and wasn't pushed hard late.
11 9 DOUBLE VALENTINE (A163) N Rawiller B/TT Pushed forward early to lead. Had nothing left in the straight and dropped out from the 250m.
12 10 ALL MY GAIN (T018) C Schofield B/TT Crowded on jumping, but recovered to push forward and be handily placed 3rd, 3 wide with no cover. Nothing left in the tank late and dropped out quickly from the 200m.
13 4 SUPER HOPPY (A372) K Teetan -- Cruised forward to settle around midfield, 3 wide with limited cover. Didn't respond to pressure in the straight, and dropped out quickly from the 200m. Jockey questioned.
14 1 SLEEP EDUCATION (A362) K C Leung -- Struggled for a position early and was stuck 3-4 wide without cover, around midfield. Gave nothing in the straight and eased from the 200m.
