1 2 WADADELIGHT (CC340) O Doleuze B Had the box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd until homestretch, switched out to lead 150 M out, ran on well to score comfortably.
2 4 MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) G Mosse PC/TT Checked at 1200 M when settled in rear, 5Ls back in 9th or so at 800 M and entering home straight, stayed on strongly when just over 1L down in 5th at 200 M, evened out late.
3 8 BEST CHOICE (CE038) S Dye B Slow start and over-raced early on, 2-wide and 3Ls back in 4th down backstretch, under pressure to maintain position at 600 M, kept on dourly for a place past tiring rivals.
4 5 GOLD DIGGER (CD101) M W Leung CP Disputed early lead but settled 2-wide and 1L off pace in 2nd at the 1000 M, led at top of home straight but headed about 150 M out, lost out on a place final 50 M.
5 3 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) N Ryan B-/PC2/H/TT Slow away, 3-back on fence between 3Ls and 4Ls off pace in midfield until home straight, short of room 250 M out, clear at 200 M, one-paced.
6 12 RICH FOR ALL (CG023) D Whyte B1 Awkward break, 4-wide no cover early on, pressed on to be 2Ls off pace out 3-wide no cover at 1000 M, all out to be 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, very tired late.
7 10 TEMMOKU (BV108) Y T Cheng V 2-wide and about 4Ls off speed in midfield until home straight, much too one-paced to figure.
8 11 MADE IN HONGKONG (CD139) W M Lai B 3-wide with cover about 4Ls or 5Ls off the speed in or around midfield until final bend, failed to quicken up.
9 14 SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) G Schofield P Worse than midfield 4-back on fence about 6Ls off pace at 1000 M, 5Ls off speed turning for home, posed no danger to leaders.
10 13 OH GREAT (CB288) A Delpech B Always towards rear at least 6Ls off the speed, hard ridden to be 4Ls down in 11th at the 200 M, no impression.
11 6 ONLY YOU (CD210) H W Lai -- One from rear about 7Ls behind leader at 1200 M, not much closer turning for home, never a factor.
12 1 TRIUMPH (CC214) C K Tong V Disputed early lead on fence, led by 1L at 1000 M, headed at 300 M, dropped out rapidly.
13 7 SEA TREASURE (CD335) F Coetzee CP/TT Very poor effort, always off the bridle when at least 5Ls off pace and worse than midfield, beaten turning for home.
14 9 ESPOIR D'OR (CE218) C Brown B Awkward break and over-raced early on in rear 8Ls off the leaders, always struggling.
