1 9 SMART CURRENCY (CJ222) K L Chui TT Within 1L of the pace in 3rd or so until the 200 M, found just enough under pressure to lead inside final strides, should appreciate further.
2 2 SHY BALDY (CH168) H W Lai TT Crowded at the start and 6Ls in arrears early on, headway to go 1L off pace at 200 M, kept on well and only just foiled by the winner.
3 6 NOBLE DE LAGO (CJ150) K T Yeung TT Always on the pace, vying for the lead 300 M out and only just passed by the quinella pair inside final 100 M.
4 1 HOT PEPPER (CJ236) K C Leung TT 2Ls off the speed in 3rd or 4th early, stayed on pretty well and wasn't far away at the wire.
5 3 GIVE WELL (CJ109) Y T Cheng H1 One from rear about 7Ls off early pace, furthest across the track at halfway, good progress inside final furlong, nearest at finish.
6 12 WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) F Coetzee TT In second half of the field about 4Ls or 5Ls back until home straight, retrieved some nice late ground without quite threatening principals.
7 11 TOPBRIDGE (CJ025) O Doleuze -- Always niggled along the stands' rail in midfield, hard ridden at halfway, held up about 100 M out, stayed on again but not enough time to recover.
8 14 GANBARIA (CE052) C K Tong B/TT 4Ls down in midfield initially, closer but all out to make an impact at furlong pole, could only hold his ground to conclude.
9 8 BRAVE SPIRIT (CJ258) D Beadman TT1 Midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace through to the furlong pole, always held.
10 13 JOLLY BIRD (CJ154) C W Wong -- Under pressure at halfway in mid-division, made a little late ground without posing any particular menace.
11 4 MESOHAPPY (CJ317) M Du Plessis -- Set the pace on the fence but headed 150 M out and dropped away thereafter.
12 5 METRO RIDER (CJ264) W C Marwing -- Tame debut, bounded at the start, never travelled well and always detached of the main group.
13 7 RAINBOW STAR (CJ275) Z Purton -- Poor debut, crowded at start and soon 8Ls adrift, never on terms.
14 10 TERTIARY CHAMPION (CJ007) B Prebble -- Fractious in gates and almost unseated rider as the gates opened, left a long way behind at the start and virtually took no part.
