1 8 SUPER WISE (A100) H T Mo H/P/TT Driven forward leading at good pace along fence, kicked clear early straight, stuck to task when challenged by runner up late stages, held on bravely.
2 10 YOUNG LEGEND (B097) Z Purton H1/TT Began well, tracked leader in a fast run race, took a while to respond on straightening, chased well final 200M, nearest finish.
3 11 BETTER CHOICE (A383) C Y Ho -- Jumped well, restrained and settled down behind midfield 7Ls off the fast pace, closed off solidly from 400M, went 3rd near 50M, nearest finish.
4 13 CHAIRMAN LO (C062) J Moreira B Began awkwardly from draw 1, settled near the rear 8Ls from leader, switched to outside 550M, stayed on moderately for 4th, safely held by first 2.
5 5 SUPER ELEGANCE (C183) U Rispoli TT Began fairly, dropped back to 2nd last about 10Ls off leader in a fast run race, made good progress on straightening and stayed on into 5th close home.
6 2 CALIFORNIA TURBO (C077) M F Poon B/TT Jumped on terms from wide draw, bustled along to be chasing leaders, caught wide until 700M, battled on and held 2nd until 200M, faded towards the line.
7 4 MAGIC LEGEND (A170) K C Leung -- Close up behind leaders in a fast run race, tried hard in straight but couldn't muster the speed to challenge leaders, out of contention 150M.
8 14 SLEEP EDUCATION (A362) M Chadwick B2 Up with early pace, sat behind leaders on settling, kept on same pace final 400M, never likely.
9 6 JENERATOR (C302) N Callan B Shifted across from wide barrier, held up behind midfield 6-7Ls off the pace, battled on fairly in the straight, no threat to leaders.
10 3 XIANG YIN (C265) K Teetan -- Away on terms, raced in mid-division along the 2-path, 6Ls back in 7th turning for home, kept on same pace in straight, no impression on leaders.
11 12 SMART PATCH (B398) T H So B2 Taken back from wide draw, settled last over 10Ls off the fast pace in middle stages, plodded past a few weakening horses in straight. Never a factor.
12 9 TANG FLEMING (A067) H N Wong B/TT Chased leaders in a fast run race, didn't go on passing 400M, weakened away.
13 1 WON WON TOO (C164) M Harley -- Shifted across from wide barrier, always towards the rear, failed to respond to urgings early straight, eased final 200M. (Jockey : horse action deteriorated in straight.)
14 7 GUVNOR (C182) M L Yeung -- Jumped fairly, recovered to race in midfield, gave ground rapidly turning in, eased when no chance. (BLED.)
