1 6 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) K L Chui -- 6Ls back in 9th at halfway, flanked winner until home straight but soon outpaced, 2nd when briefly eased down 50 M out, recovered to just hang onto 2nd. (Jockey reprimanded.)
2 8 FANTASTIC TIME (CH220) Z Purton SR/V In midfield with cover about 5Ls off pace in middle stages, stayed on fairly well for a place in the final 300 M.
3 10 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) B Doyle V/XB Slowly away, one from rear about 9Ls from early pace, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home and ran on best of the rest for 4th.
4 7 DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) D Whyte -- In second half of field until home straight at least 5Ls from the front, held up for about 100 M at top of stretch, one-paced once clear.
5 12 NOBLE TWINS (CH257) M Du Plessis B No early pace and soon a long way back in rear, plodded on through some very laboured rivals in the final stages.
6 1 LIMONCELLO (CH178) K T Yeung B/TT 4Ls off speed with cover at the 1000 M, closer but niggled along off home turn, didn't find a great deal under pressure.
7 13 SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) C K Tong -- 3-wide with cover in 10th or so down the back straight, 4-wide on straightening and midfield 3Ls back at the 200 M, couldn't sustain the run.
8 9 MR FLOODLIGHT (CG257) H W Lai B Disputed early tempo on the fence, 1L clear turning for home but soon headed and fizzled out rapidly.
9 2 LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) E Saint-Martin B 3-back on the fence about 5Ls off pace in 7th at halfway, hemmed in along the rails for most of home straight and not tested, excuse the run.
10 4 AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) K C Leung B 1L back in 4th out 2-wide at 1000 M, ridden along when over 2Ls back in 5th off final bend, weakened steadily.
11 14 PLEASURE PLEASURE (CD271) Y T Cheng B/TT 5-wide no cover for much of backstretch and 3-deep on pace at halfway, extra work took its toll from the top of home straight.
12 11 GOLD GEM (CG197) D Beadman CP/TT Keen early on when wide, 3Ls back in 5th at the 800 M, closer off final turn, one-paced and held when tried to savage a rival 200 M out. (Blood in trachea.)
13 5 MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) F Coetzee XB/TT Endured a wide trip down the back but mostly had cover, 1L down in 2nd entering the stretch but yielded ground very quickly thereafter. (Questioned for poor performance.)
DISQ 3 NAMJONG SKY (CH129) B Prebble TT Quietly ridden 9Ls back in 12th early on, closer turning in when switched out wider to challenge, good turn of foot to lead 300 M, pulled well clear.
