1 11 CONVINCIBLE (T399) K Teetan B Held up in 8th 4Ls off the pace, made early move 550M out, hit top gear mid-straight sweeping to the lead 100M out, kept on well to hold off a late challenge.
2 2 ARCHIPPUS (P361) Z Purton B/H/TT Taken across behind runners, given a waiting ride in last, peeled off the fence 400M, mounted a strong challenge outside the winner, ran his usual honest race, just held.
3 5 MR GENUINE (S253) J Moreira CP Settled down 2nd last, 5Ls off the pace 600M, moved closer over the home turn, tried hard to the line for minor honours but well held by first 2 over final stages.
4 7 VICTORY MARVEL (T426) H N Wong -- Pressed forward and obtained the rail spot soon after the start, always prominent, led them into the straight, kept grinding when challenged, lost lead 100M, faded towards the line.
5 12 GOLDEN HARVEST (N236) H T Mo TT Towards the rear, quickly moved up along the fence passing 400M, held ground and lacked the winning dash over final 200M.
6 8 DRAGON GENERAL (T400) U Rispoli B/TT Settled down in midfield, ran on moderately on straightening, severely checked close home to avoid a fallen jockey and might have been 4th.
7 4 ROMANTIC CASH (S319) K C Leung H/TT Chased leaders, awkwardly placed behind a weakening rival 400M and was steadied, failed to make an impression on straightening.
8 3 VERBINSKY (V052) N Callan B/TT Chased leaders along the 3-path, no cover after 600M, responded briefly turning in, weakened 200M.
9 10 HAPPY METEOR (T171) C Murray B Close up behind leaders in a strongly run race, struggled to keep up home turn, couldn't get back to it and left behind by rivals passing 300M.
10 9 DALRADIAN (A213) W M Lai TT1 Pressed forward from wide draw, caught wide without cover until 600M, weakened passing 400M to finish tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)
UR 6 MOLLY'S JADE STAR (T216) C Schofield B Never far off from leaders, improved to 2nd inside 300M, tried hard in the run home but broke down 25M out and dislodged rider.
