1 1 LIFELINE RAPIDE (CD204) K T Yeung TT Went forward from barrier rise but was posted 3 deep without cover behind the speed. Made gradual progress in straight and got the verdict right on the line for a grinding win.
2 2 CHEEKY LAD (CG198) R Fradd V Travelled 3 back on the fence before shifting out to race 1 out 1 back after the 800 M. Worked to the lead passing the furlong and looked the likely winner until being collared in the shadows of the post.
3 4 TOWKAY FLYER (CJ036) E Saint-Martin -- Parked outside the leader at its girth. Didn't find any extra when pressured over the final 150 M.
4 10 TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) M Du Plessis -- Parked midfield the fence. Worked home soundly without threatening.
5 12 NEW ASIA FORWARD (CH309) M Nunes H Raced just in front of midfield, 1 off with cover. Closed off well.
6 8 HEIMORI (CJ130) G Boss SR1 Was allowed to drift back early in the race and settle near the rear of the field, 3 deep with cover. When under pressure in the straight raced greenly whilst making satisfactory ground.
7 13 ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) F Coetzee -- Positioned close to midfield but was always 3 to 4-wide, gained some cover after the 700 M. Failed to quicken in the straight.

9 11 EMBRACES (CH175) W M Lai B Raced with the back markers, 2-wide with cover. Battled away in the run home.
10 3 MY PRIDE (CG017) P H Lo V Camped behind the leader along the fence. Had every chance.
11 6 ENCORE (CH252) D Whyte -- Travelled midfield, 2 to 3-wide with cover. Failed to improve and battled to the line.
12 7 HAPPY TOUCH (CJ008) Y T Cheng TT Positioned at the rear, 2 deep with cover. Shifted to the outside of the field after the 300 M, but didn't respond to pressure.
13 9 MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) M W Leung -- Raced in last position on the fence. Never likely.
