1 8 REGENCY STAR (E399) A Badel CP1 Crossed to the lead passing 1000M, set steady pace in middle stages, continued on well when asked top of straight and comfortably held off pursuing rivals final 200M.
2 7 PERFECT PEACH (E488) C L Chau B/H/TT Reserved in midfield along the fence, took a while to get going on straightening, did best work final 200M to go 2nd close home.
3 6 JOYFUL MOOD (G107) Z Purton -- Always well placed behind leaders in a slow run race, tried hard on straightening but couldn't quite close the gap on winner, lost 2nd near line.
4 12 MASTER ALBERT (A296) H W Lai B/E/TT Settled midfield, 5th going into final turn, driven out 450M, put in a mild bid in the run home, just missed a minor placing.
5 11 KING'S TROOPER (C130) R Maia TT Began awkwardly, held up towards the rear in a slow run race, responded well final 300M to claim 5th near line.
6 3 JAZZ STEED (C406) K Teetan TT Jumped on terms, settled down behind midfield, bustled along 500M, stayed on moderately to the line, finished just behind 2nd and 3rd in a blanket finish.
7 5 HAPPILY FRIENDS (C533) A Hamelin V Quickest away, restrained to sit behind leaders along the 2-path, fought on one paced in the straight, faded late and lost several places.
8 10 DASSIT (G017) M L Yeung -- Taken back for cover, held up at the rear 7Ls off the pace in a slow run race, closed off final 400M fastest but left with too much to do.
9 2 LUCKY ARCHANGEL (E385) H Bentley CP/XB Slowly away from draw 12, dropped back to race at the rear as opposed to obtaining a forward position, brought widest top of straight, ran on without troubling leaders.
10 4 NOBLE BOYZ (E156) D Moor SR/TT Not hurried, settled towards the rear 5-6Ls back, gave limited response on straightening, never involved.
11 1 FLYING DRAGON (E360) K C Leung -- Travelled strongly when racing wide down the back straight early stages, improved from 900M to race outside leader but inclined to lay out, hung on to 200M then weakened away.
12 9 NICHOLSON RETURNS (E452) L Hewitson B From wide draw shifted across behind runners, settled towards the rear along the inside, couldn't go on passing 300M. Never dangerous.
