1 3 SUNNY GOLF (CH138) K C Leung XB/TT Soon took lead on fence after good jump. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Seriously challenged final furlong but kept on finding enough to keep rival at bay.
2 5 VITAL FLYER (CK373) D Whyte -- Slow to begin but soon hooked onto leader's back on rail 1000M out. Looked extremely dangerous when half length 2nd at 200M but failed to reel in the winner closing stages.
3 9 ROYAL PERICLES (CH050) W M Lai B/XB Fair start, ridden to race with cover within 2Ls of the pace in a 2-wide position through to the home turn. Finished off well but no hope with the front pair.
4 8 PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) J Lloyd P1 Always within 3Ls of the pace on fence through to the home turn. Hard ridden from 300M but improved only steadily. Ran to the line without serious threat to the front trio.
5 1 HOLI RAVIOLI (CG201) W Pike -- Began well, ended up 2-wide at midfield middle stages and was 4Ls back turning into home. One-paced to conclude.
6 10 PLAN B (CJ123) M Chadwick CP1/TT 2-wide behind leader until no extra final 300M.
7 12 BUCCANEER (CH214) Z Purton -- Stumbled at the start and raced at rear. Improved gradually on rail and was 8Ls down leaving the bend. Made up some ground when the race was over.
8 4 SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) O Doleuze B/TT1 Away in line and was taken across behind runners. Took rail behind midfield passing 800M and was 5Ls off on straightening. Found nothing under pressure and passed only beaten rivals.
9 6 CANNONISE (CD377) G Mosse B/TT Jumped awkwardly. Failed to muster and trapped 3-wide ahead of midfield through to the home straight. Peaked well before the post.
10 2 HONGKONG SUPERSTAR (CH167) K W Leung CP/TT Got its head up on jumping. Raced 3-wide towards rear throughout. Never a factor.
11 11 BEAUTIFUL DREAMER (CH108) H W Lai B 2-wide at rear throughout. Never in the hunt.
12 7 ELITE CHAMPION (CJ096) B Prebble TT 2-wide behind midfield early and middle stages. Struggled home. (Substantial amount of blood in horse's trachea).
