1 12 RARE TREASURE (CH150) J Lloyd -- 3-wide but with cover and worse than midfield 6Ls off pace through to final turn, produced a telling burst down the centre to lead in final bounds.
2 9 MY TIME (CJ310) S K Sit -- Disputed early pace out 2-wide before leading by 1L at the 600 M, maintained a narrow break before being collared by the winner just before the line.
3 11 OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) C K Tong B Box-seated 2Ls back in 3rd initially, 4Ls back in 5th turning in, rallied again strongly in the home straight, got close in 3rd.
4 10 KEEN SOUL (CH092) P H Lo B Led by 1L at first before opting to race 1L back in 2nd from 600 M to home bend, kept on well for pressure in straight, missed a place but still a good effort.
5 5 LUCKY PRINCE (CK285) M Chadwick TT Nice position in 3rd at the 800 M and still just 2Ls behind off last bend, had every chance to place, couldn't follow through.
6 2 MAGIC SWEEP (CH299) D Whyte B One from rear at the 1000 M and 7Ls to make up from rear on straightening, finished off well, was closest at the line.
7 7 BRILLIANT ONE (CG212) W M Lai -- In 10th on the rails down the back straight, 7Ls adrift turning for home, ran on well late, never nearer.
8 6 VILASOL (CK303) Y T Cheng -- Slowest out, 8Ls or so from the pace through to the final bend, recovered some decent late ground, nearest at the finish.
9 8 WELL NOTED (CG313) Z Purton PC-/B2/TT 3-back the rails in midfield 5Ls behind early pace and little closer turning for home, couldn't keep up in the straight.
10 3 ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) J Winks P/TT Awkward break losing ground, 6Ls back initially but never any better than midfield and chasing the majority of the field.
11 4 CHARMGOLD (CK002) B Prebble CP1 Disappointing run for a favourite, decent position in 6th at 800 M, but pressured to stay in touch before taking last turn, very weak in response. (Questioned for poor performance.)
12 1 ESPERANZA (CG159) K C Leung B Slow to muster pace and 3-wide no cover for much of the back straight, pressed forward 3Ls off pace turning in, soon beat a hasty retreat.
