1 12 TOWN OF FIONN (CD106) R Fradd -- Settled about 7Ls off pace towards rear through first half, 3-wide and 5Ls down in 10th taking home turn, finished off very strongly out wide to lead over 50 M out, plenty to spare.
2 11 REGENCY HORSE (CE229) K L Chui B/TT Always prominent, 3-wide with cover over 2Ls back in 4th at 800 M, closer and disputing 3rd off final bend, had every hope but no match for winner's late dash.
3 5 HELENE PILLAGING (CC084) C K Tong TT Midfield or so about 4Ls off speed until the 700 M, forced deeper 4-wide into home straight when 3Ls back still in mid-division, 2Ls down in 3rd passing 200 M, failed to find any more.
4 14 OUR JET (CD128) Y T Cheng B/TT Sent on out wide for clear lead at 900 M, 2Ls ahead on fence at 800 M, 1L to the good at top of stretch, headed about 150 M and faded to miss a place.
5 3 DAVE'S BEST (CC060) C W Wong -- Soon restrained in rear about 8Ls off pace, 6Ls down in 11th at top of homestretch, staying on well when tight for room and switched out 150 M out, hit the line well.
6 9 TIBER (CD155) E Saint-Martin TT Always well positioned, 3-back on fence 4Ls back in 5th at 800 M, box-run on the circle to be 2Ls down in 4th at 400 M, had every chance but lacked the pick-up to challenge.
7 10 FOKINE (CE072) H W Lai TT 3-wide with cover and worse than midfield about 6Ls off speed at 700 M, 3Ls down but forced widest (5-wide) entering stretch, vying for 3rd when 2Ls back at 200 M but no extra thereafter.
8 1 BILLET EXPRESS (CD140) D Whyte -- 2-wide and no worse than 3Ls or 4Ls back in mid-division until home straight, soon weakened.
9 6 ABLE PRINCE (CC348) N Ryan B/TT On fence 2Ls back in 2nd at 800 M, moved out 2-wide on circle to edge closer at top of home straight, found very little under pressure and soon beaten.
10 4 PLANET RULER (CB359) M Odendaal -- Very fractious in gates, steadied at start and soon about 5Ls back around midfield, effort when 3Ls off pace in 7th taking home turn, petered out before the 100 M.
11 13 FIGURES (CC307) M W Leung B Prominent early within 2Ls of pace, forced out 4-wide no cover on circle and struggling over 3Ls back in 6th or so turning for home, soon left behind, eased down late.
12 7 HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) A Delpech B Never on terms, about 8Ls back in rear 1000 M out, similar margin and well detached in rear on straightening, no chance.
