1 13 OUTLAWED (T100) H N Wong -- Pushed forward from wide barrier early, and found the lead by first turn. Three lengths clear on the home turn. Was weakening late, but had just enough to hold on the line.
2 9 CHARITY KINGDOM (S278) Z Purton XB Began well and happy to sit in midfield on the rail. Was a long way off on the turn, but showed plenty of dash in the straight to just miss by a head on the line.
3 6 SECRET COMMAND (S275) K Teetan B-/P1 Began well, and ended up just forward of midfield, two and three wide. Ran on strongly from the 400m to figure in the finish late.
4 7 SUPER TALENT (S344) D Whyte B Broke well, and pushed forward to sit handy on the rail. Went at the 400m, and ran on well. Went stride for stride with third, and only outmuscled late.
5 5 TOO FAST (S308) N Rawiller TT Began well, and elected to ease into a position in midfield, one off the fence. Rider changed whip hand at 250m, and ran on well from there.
6 2 CHATER LEGEND (T151) A Suborics SR Dropped back to sit at the rear of the field. Plugged along fairly in straight, but never threatening.
7 3 ENORMOUS HONOUR (T236) C Y Ho -- Bumped early, then pushed up to sit just forward of midfield. Looked to go on turn, but only battled away fairly from there.
8 10 JUN GONG (N325) W M Lai -- Dropped back to sit at the rear of the field on the fence early. Came wide in straight for a run, and ran on steadily from there.
9 4 PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) K C Ng TT Pushed forward and led early, before eventually sitting just behind leader at the 1000m. Faded from the 300m, and played no part late.
10 11 MIDNITE PROMISE (S379) C K Tong B Didn't begin well, then awkwardly placed on heels early. Dropped back to sit just worse than midfield one off the fence. Only ran on fairly late.
11 14 PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT (S420) K C Leung H Taken back to sit with backmarkers, but never settled early, sitting three wide. Widest on turn, and only battled in straight.
12 12 CLASSIC JEWELLERY (M329) T H So B Dropped back from the wide barrier to sit last. Only ran on fairly, and never in it.
13 1 NOBLE ALPHA (M339) B Prebble P Moderate start. Elected to sit midfield, but was left racing three wide with no cover. Was in a handy position at the top of the straight, but peaked at 200m and faded from there.
14 8 BRAVE BROTHER (P016) O Doleuze B2/TT Got head up on jumping but pushed forward to sit near midfield. Faded badly from the turn, and not persevered with late when out of contention.
