1 1 FANTASTIC FABIO (V364) K Teetan -- Commenced very fast and came across to get uncontested lead. Travelled well and kicked clear upon straightening and didn't look like getting run down.
2 11 APPLAUSE (A023) A Badel B Was bumped on jumping before easing back to near the tail of the field on the outside. Moved three horses wide down the back straight before entering the straight the widest runner and making late ground in run to the line.
3 5 HAPPY GUY (A365) M Chadwick H Commenced well before positioning behind the leader on the fence. Turned for home close enough but could not match finishing burst of leader.
4 6 FLYING FORCE (V014) H T Mo XB/TT Positioned worse than midfield on the fence and commenced to race ungenerously from the 600m. Stayed closer to the rail upon straightening and made some late ground in later stages.
5 2 ROMAN ODYSSEY (A092) Z Purton H1/TT Ridden forward to gain prominent position before ultimately settling second, one length behind and outside the leader. Flat footed when leader quickened and conceded 2L upon entering straight and battled away to the line.
6 4 CHEER WIN (V347) S De Sousa P-/B2/TT Position midfield on the fence and raced a little keenly in early stages. Was held slightly tight upon straightening before getting clear room once balanced and working fairly to the line.
7 10 LONDON MASTER (T345) D Whyte TT Settled worse than midfield in between runners. Was still conceding big start upon straightening and ran on fairly.
8 8 MISCHIEVOUS SUNDAE (C016) S Clipperton -- Not fast away but found feet to position one pair back on the outside. Was under pressure before straightening and conceded 4L to leader at top of lane. Didn't catch the eye in the run the post.
9 3 BEAUTY ENERGY (B149) K C Leung CP/TT Ridden forward from widest barrier before settling three horses wide with cover in middle stages. Ridden hard from 400m to improve but weakened out following wide run in the straight.
10 9 TEST THE STARS (B193) C Y Ho -- Restrained after the start and was eased back across heals to position at the tail of the field. Was over 8 lengths off the lead when cornering and was never a threat in the run home.
11 12 ROCKAGE (B242) H N Wong XB Was bumped after the start and subsequently settled at the tail. Was niggled at from the 600m to improve position but was struggling from that point on.
12 7 HAPPY COOPERATION (T392) M L Yeung H/TT Commenced fast and was ridden forward to be prominent but was caught three horses wide after the 1000m. Covered additional ground in middle stages and was ridden up from the 600m before weakening out in final 250m.
