1 8 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) Y T Cheng B 3-back the fence about 4Ls off pace in 5th through to final turn, finished off strongly along the rails to lead on the line.
2 6 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) B Prebble B/TT 1L back in 2nd at the 1200 M, remained in 2nd before taking off for home 450 M out, grabbed by the winner inside final strides.
3 11 OCTAGONAL CANYON (CJ055) D Whyte -- Midfield about 5Ls back with cover through first half, edged closer turning in, stayed on well late and went very close to winning.
4 12 RAIN OF THUNDER (CJ352) M Du Plessis B Held the 'one-out-one-back' position about 2Ls back in 4th until the 600 M, 2Ls back in 2nd at the 200 M, no extra and had to settle for 4th.
5 2 EVERGREEN (CE106) W M Lai B Box-seated on rails 2Ls back in 3rd until the 600 M, dragged back a little before final turn, kept on at the same pace in the finish.
6 9 SIR LAGO (CH268) S K Sit B Blew the start, 6Ls back in 10th at halfway and similar off last curve, couldn't make up much ground.
7 4 SWEET BABY (CG294) H W Lai P-/B2 4-back on the rails in 7th and 5Ls down in middle stages and same turning for home, never posed much of a threat.
8 5 EVER KING (CE147) K C Leung V/TT Taken back and 8Ls last at the 1200 M and not much better off spinning for home, always chasing and never likely.
9 7 FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) B Doyle -- One from rear 2-wide and 8Ls off pace at the 800 M, still well back making final turn, never likely.
10 10 STAR OF CHIU TON (CJ175) K T Yeung -- Always worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the speed, niggled along to stay in touch at the 600 M, weakened.
11 1 DR WELL (CD165) M L Yeung -- Led by 1L on the rails at the 1300 M, pressured on the circle and began to yield ground before final turn, dropped out further.
12 3 EYE WITNESS (CG027) M Chadwick XB/TT 3-wide no cover throughout, at least 5Ls off the pace as well and extra work took its toll in the straight.
