1 5 FANTASTIC FEELING (T273) S Clipperton -- Never far off in 5th, 2Ls off leader on the turn, worked home well from top of straight, took lead near 50M and held sway at the finish.
2 8 AMAZING (A202) N Callan -- Began fairly, settled down in midfield 4Ls off the good pace, shifted lane 300M to obtain clear running, stayed on well to make it close at the finish.
3 7 HEALTHY LUCK (A064) D Whyte -- Quickly away, restrained to track leader passing 1000M, loomed mid-straight and took lead inside 200M, fought on well only to go down in the concluding stages. Gap to 4th.
4 11 HAPPY COOPERATION (T392) M L Yeung H/TT Chased leader along the 2-path, stayed close with front runners but couldn't go on final 100M.
5 3 SUPER LEADER (V016) H T Mo -- Jumped well, held back to race in midfield 4Ls off the pace, brought wide 400M, made some progress without threatening first 3.
6 2 MOMENT OF POWER (V138) Z Purton B Crossed to the lead passing 1000M, led at good pace, battled away early straight, lost lead inside 200M and weakened towards the line.
7 10 OPEN HOUSE (A197) K Teetan -- Not hurried early stages, dropped back towards the rear of the main group, 4Ls to make up top of straight but couldn't accelerate enough to challenge leaders.

9 6 HAPPY BAO BEI (S172) U Rispoli B/TT Restrained to a rearward position after the jump, proved difficult to settle, 5-6Ls to make up 400M but failed to improve.
10 9 ARM RUNDA (V248) O Doleuze B/TT From widest draw made some use early to obtain a midfield position, driven out 400M but didn't close off the race.
11 12 YOUNG EMPIRE (V116) H N Wong V/TT Taken back on jumping from wide barrier, 6Ls off the good pace middle stages, switched wide approaching home straight, got too far back and never in the hunt. (Jockey lost whip 200M.)
12 4 BLAZE STAMINA (V070) C Y Ho B/TT Began only fairly, hard ridden forward but failed to muster speed and detached from field 600M, never in the picture. (Jockey : horse did not show interest in the race / Lame next day.)
