1 9 MULTIMILLION (C022) C Wong B/TT Positively ridden out the gate, crossed to lead along stands' rail from 800M, driven clear 250M, always well in control.
2 12 DIAMOND KING (S347) M L Yeung V/TT Reserved in midfield along stand's rail, ran on well from halfway, went 2nd near line on his first try over 1000M, but never a threat to the clear winner.
3 2 MR LUMIERES (B179) Z Purton -- Tracked leader, outpaced by winner inside 400M, faded late and lost 2nd near line. (Bled.)
4 1 HELLO BEAUTY (B410) C Y Ho B/H1/TT From draw 3 obtained a midfield spot 4Ls off the pace, kept on moderately over final 400M, just missed 3rd place.
5 11 GOKO (A270) U Rispoli B/TT Chased leader towards the stand's side, couldn't muster speed to challenge when driven along 400M, held ground to the line.
6 14 BRIGHT KID (C060) K C Ng B/XB1/TT Raced near the rear 5Ls off the pace, ran on mildly from 500M passing well beaten horses, not reached leaders.
7 6 RED DESERT (C287) J Moreira -- Niggled along to be close up behind the pace, couldn't keep up with leaders passing 400M, weakened steadily.
8 7 WINNING FEELING (C324) N Callan -- Settled 3-4Ls back in midfield, ridden inside 500M but kept on only same pace, weakened final 200M.
9 5 ORIONIDS (V355) A Domeyer H/TT In mid-division, driven along halfway but lacked the necessary response, soon beaten.
10 13 HAPPY TIME (B272) K C Leung H Began awkwardly, squeezed after start, ended up behind midfield further back than intended, couldn't quicken inside 400M. (Jockey : not able to race in forward position may have attributed to disappointing performance.)
11 4 BREEDERS' SKY (C162) G van Niekerk -- From draw 1 positioned not far off leaders early stages, outpaced from 400M, eased when no chance.
12 10 WAYFOONG VINNIE (V055) H N Wong H/TT1 Raced in midfield towards the outside of group, couldn't sustain run passing 300M, weakened badly.
13 8 GREAT SMART (C319) T H So B1 Outpaced in last, detached from field 600M, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)
14 3 WECARE N PROSPER (C320) R Bayliss B Towards the rear, struggled to keep up halfway, weakened rapidly to last, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)
