1 1 TREASURABLE (CH017) C K Tong -- Keen early on, much closer to pace than for previous win just 1L back in 2nd until leading at top of home straight, driven clear, comfortably.
2 10 SUNNY GOLF (CH138) D Beadman XB/H/TT In last but only 5Ls adrift of the leader at the 800 M, ran on best of the rest in homestretch and nicked 2nd on the line.
3 12 DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) Y T Cheng TT Soon led but couldn't cross to fence until 750 M out, headed at top of home straight, one-paced and lost out on 2nd in the home straight.
4 3 JADE DANCER (CE170) O Doleuze CP About 2Ls back in 3rd but trapped 3-wide no cover until homestretch, had his chance but weakened after wide trip final 200 M.
5 5 DASHING WINNER (CA018) Z Purton SR/CO Lost 3Ls by messing up the start and tended to hang out from fence towards rear, one-paced in homestretch, tight for room final 50 M.
6 6 GOOD TRIO (CD029) M W Leung B Under pressure to hold midfield position about 3Ls off pace until home turn, lacked any kind of dash in final stages.
7 7 TELECOM SIR (CH217) K Shea -- Worse than midfield when badly checked back to a 4-back position on fence final 200 M, never recovered from that setback.
8 9 MAGIC KING (CH182) W M Lai B/XB Nice position on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th until the 600 M, struggling to lie up into home straight despite soft run, weakened out.
9 8 CALIFORNIA HEART (CE078) B Prebble B/XB/TT Switched inside from wide gate to race about 5Ls off early pace in rear, briefly threatened out wide 300 M out but run peaked and tired late.
10 2 BITE MY DUST (CH170) H W Lai -- Caught very wide 5 and 6-wide no cover down backstretch in rear, detached about 8Ls off speed turning in, never a factor.
11 11 TOP SPEED (CH019) P H Lo B/TT 2Ls back in 5th through early stages but unbalanced on the circle and lost his position into home straight, faded further.
12 4 HAPPY ELITE (CD306) G Mosse XB/TT Very disappointing, 3-wide with cover about 4Ls off pace in 8th or so down the back, under pressure and struggling into home straight, found zero off the bit and eased late.
