1 6 DANESOUTH (L001) K C Leung H/TT Enjoyed a nice run in the race close to the fence in third position with cover. Kept to the inside in the final stretch and worked home soundly.
2 2 TELECOM SUPREMO (M328) N Callan B Handed up near the 1000m, shifted out into 1 off and assumed 2nd position. Had every chance but was nailed close to home.
3 10 KING GALILEO (L028) U Rispoli -- Settled worse than midfield, 1 off with cover. Commenced to improve after the 600m, ran on satisfactorily.
4 12 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) M Du Plessis P-/B2/TT Settled at the rear from an outside gate travelling 3-4 deep with cover. Under pressure from the 500m, responded well to figure in the frame.
5 9 KUNG HEI FAT CHOI (L157) T Clark XB Travelled 2 wide with cover, midfield. Was taken out 3 wide no cover after the 800m. Was dour in the run home.
6 3 WINNING PAL (CJ138) C K Tong B/TT Camped midfield the fence. Railed up in the final stretch but whacked away one paced.
7 11 FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) H W Lai B Settled 2-3 wide with cover at the tail of the field. Came widest in the straight but peaked on its run well short of the line.
8 1 BULB TREASURE (CH048) M L Yeung B1 Eventually crossed to the fence after the 1000m and settled in the lead. Was a spent force after the furlong.
9 7 EPATANT (L349) Z Purton H1 Settled in fourth position 1 off the fence. Faded over the final 100m.
10 5 SABINA (CK169) B Prebble -- Not the best to begin settling with the backmakers, 1 off with cover. Failed to close off.
11 4 HAPPY EAGLE (L347) T H So B/TT Camped well back in the field along the paint. Railed up in the straight but despite being ridden vigorously from the 450m, never responded.
12 8 GREEN GLORY (CJ177) G Mosse B/TT Settled back in the event from a wide gate but was posted 3-4 deep without cover for most of the trip. Never likely.
