1 1 RIGHTEOUS (S128) G Mosse B Away well, settling half a length behind and outside leader. Made no move until 400m, throwing out a sustained challenge before gaining upper hand in the final strides.
2 12 SUNNY PEARL (N434) K C Leung XB/TT Pressed forward from an outside draw to lead on settling and crossing to fence. Tried to kick clear on entering straight and kept finding when challenged only to lose in final strides.
3 8 COLOSSUS (T170) N Callan H/TT Shifted across behind runners from outside draw, settling towards the rear in one-off position. Made some progress around turn, switched wide halfway up straight and finished strongly.
4 3 SUN PINS (P333) D Whyte CP Began OK, settling three-back, one-off back stretch. Urged forward between horses around turn but blocked for run in straight until 200m. Finished off nicely.
5 10 MARVEL HERO (T311) C Y Ho -- Jumped well, grabbing box seat 3L from leader on settling. Not much room top of straight, shifted out 100m to get run, kept on well despite racing close to heels.
6 7 GENEROUS BOBO (S096) Z Purton TT Jumped fairly, crossing to fence about 6L from leader. Switched out around turn and made some progress, before taken wider in straight where boxed on steadily.
7 14 BAAB AL NASR (S373) T H So H/XB Shifted across behind runners from wide draw, settling at rear close to fence. Improved position around turn, shifted in abruptly 400m to get run and finished off nicely. Rider dropped rein 200m.
8 6 KIRAM (T093) N Rawiller -- Pressed forward early but unable find cover and forced to race three-wide, mostly without cover. Taken even wider on entering straight but only one-paced.
9 13 PACKING GO GO (T110) H W Lai H/SR Jumped with field but not enough pace to go forward and held wide in midfield on settling. Kept wide around turn and found little in straight when put under pressure.
10 5 SKY HERO (T083) B Prebble H Crowded out start, then hard ridden to go forward, settling one-back, one-off 3L from leader. Lay out around turn but remained in contention till 200m before tiring. Found to be a roarer. Unacceptable performance.
11 2 AMBER DRAGON (P229) A Suborics TT Shifted across behind runners from widest draw, dropping to last but away from fence. Made some progress early in straight before turning one-paced.
12 4 SMILING WATCH (M325) K C Ng B/H Ridden to hold forward position while edging closer to fence, settling three-back from leader. Travelled nicely around turn but gave ground shortly after entering straight.
13 11 GRACEFUL KINGDOM (P145) C K Tong -- Pressed forward from wide draw and forced to race wide before being taken further out passing 700m and slipping back. Last into straight and never competitive.
14 9 JUST WONDERFUL (T270) D Lane H1 Began well but unable find cover and raced wide back stretch. Lost position around turn, and tired soon after entering straight.
