1 3 WO AI NINN (CK223) J Lloyd B/H2 Parked 3 back the fence. Hit the front passing the 100 M and held on to post a sound win.
2 5 MAKE IT (L139) B Doyle CP Slow to begin settling in last position. Swung widest in the straight and rattled home strongly.
3 7 TOP DRAGON (CK342) Y T Cheng B Ridden along early and dictated terms in front. Set a leisurely pace but couldn't repel challengers over the final stages.
4 8 AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) H W Lai B Made this run from back in the field after settling 2 deep with cover. Commenced a forward move passing the 500 M, coursing wide from that point on. Closed off well to make the frame.
5 6 SKY WALKER (CJ319) N Callan CP/TT Began awkwardly settling handy, 2 deep with cover. Peeled out passing the 700 M, however was left 3-wide without cover thereafter. Kept on evenly in the run to the line.
6 2 SUPER GENTLEMAN (CK365) T Angland -- Raced behind midfield 2-wide with cover. Had to be checked off heels after the 500 M, but recovered to rally fairly in the final stretch.
7 9 CHANTILLY (L153) G Mosse B Had cover, 3 deep in a midfield position. Only plodded to the finishing line.
8 4 KOENIGSBERG (L268) W M Lai -- Stalked the leader along the fence. Had every chance but faded in the latter stages.
9 11 NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) K C Leung B-/TT Camped outside the leader in the early and middle stages. Was unable to hold its position and was crossed after the 700 M gave ground steadily soon after.
10 10 KUNG HEI FAT CHOI (L157) C W Wong B1/H Unsettled before the start then travelled with the backmakers 3-wide with cover. Was left 4-wide without cover after the 600 M. Struggled in the home straight.
11 12 COOL CAT (CH330) G Cheyne -- Worked hard in the early and middle stages to obtain a forward position but coursed wide and without cover until shifting in to race 1 off in 2nd spot near the 700 M. Never likely.
12 1 ELECTRONIC MASTER (CJ135) Z Purton V Settled with the backmakers along the fence. Vet reported post race that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm.
