1 1 TOWERING FEELING (CG262) D Whyte -- Caught 3-wide no cover early but steadily eased into 2nd place about 2Ls back and on fence at 600 M, led comfortably over 300 M out and always in charge.
2 2 HAPPY GO LAGO (CE310) Y T Cheng -- On fence 6Ls off speed in 8th at 800 M, took closer order turning for home, over 2Ls down in 5th at 200 M, kept on finding to take 2nd inside final 100 M.
3 14 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) C W Wong -- Always prominent, 3Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, 2Ls down in 3rd taking home turn, kept on quite well to repel quite a few rivals for a place.
4 11 MEDIC LEGION (CE162) A Delpech B- Fractious in preliminaries, steadily crossed to 2-wide position about 9Ls off pace in rear, 7Ls down turning for home, ran on very strongly late, never nearer.
5 3 STILTON (CG173) O Doleuze CP Box-seat position in 3rd on fence 3Ls off pace at 900 M, 2Ls back in 4th taking home turn, had every hope to place but was a bit too one-paced.
6 4 TOY QUEST (CC036) S Dye -- 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in 5th early, a little closer when held up from top of home straight to the 200 M, probably had enough opportunity to place however.
7 5 CELESTIAL WONDER (CG046) B Prebble -- Worse than midfield about 7Ls from the front early, a little closer turning for home, unbalanced at 350 M and raced tightly through latter stages without posing a serious threat.
8 10 AURELIAN (CC025) H W Lai B Slowly away, about 8Ls off pace in rear early, still well behind when 4-wide turning for home, raced tightly to the line when held by principals.
9 9 JOYFUL WORLD (CC200) F Coetzee B/TT Led by 1L to 2Ls on fence until home turn, faded out tamely once headed at top of home straight.
10 13 GOOD TO GREAT (CD278) K W Tsui CP Never better than midfield, 6Ls back and 2-wide at 800 M and 4Ls down off final turn, never dangerous thereafter.
11 7 TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) H K Yim -- Slowly away, worse than midfield on fence about 7Ls off pace at 1000 M, a little closer taking home turn but well and truly outpaced from then on.
12 8 CROWNED GEM (CE056) M Odendaal B2/TT2 Held 5th place about 4Ls from the front until home straight, tight for room and faded late.
13 6 HAPPY HEROES (CD261) M W Leung B Snagged back to rear about 10Ls off pace, always well behind and finished down centre of track.
14 12 BAUHINIA (CD118) P H Lo -- Always in rear and about 9Ls off pace, hampered and forced wider turning for home, soon left with no chance.
