1 13 BRAVE POWER (D153) C Y Ho B/TT Drifted back from widest gate & raced worse than midfield, 3 wide with cover throughout. Wider on straightening when 3L from the lead before closing strongly in final stages to strike lead inside final 100m & win well.
2 10 VICTORIOUS LEADER (B288) Z Purton -- Steadied & shifted behind runners after start before racing third last on rail. Moved away from the inside before straightening when about 3L behind before closing strongly between runners in final furlong to be second.
3 11 SUPER KIN (C011) K H Chan TT Pushed forward but was left racing three wide no cover outside the leader. Forced 4 wide passing 600m mark, moved up to share lead at 200m, finished well to hold third, only 1.5L behind after wide run throughout.

6 3 GOLDEN FOUR (B225) B Shinn -- Not fast to begin & drifted back to race 4th from last between runners. Shifted to be the second widest entering last section when 5L from the lead before closing strongly down the outside to be beaten only 2L on line.

8 12 SEA MONARCH (D063) M L Yeung H/TT Ridden forward from gate 12 to assume lead before crossing to rail near 1100m. Continued to hold narrow lead until being headed approaching the 200m before weakening a few lengths in final furlong.
9 4 KING'S TROOPER (C130) J Moreira TT Raced in midfield between horses throughout. Entered last section under 2L from the lead, was awkwardly placed momentarily near the 350m before offering little in the final 250m, beaten just over 3L.
