1 3 BATURO (CH029) K C Leung -- Flanked leader out 2-wide in 2nd about 1L until the home straight, picked up to lead about 150 M from the line and did just enough to stay ahead.
2 11 HEADINGLEY (CH264) D Beadman B/TT Better than midfield about 2Ls from the speed down the back, without clear running 300 M out, stayed on well once clear and just missed the win.
3 9 FREEBIRD (CC319) Y T Cheng CP-/BO2 Box-seated 2Ls off pace in 3rd on fence until home straight, given every possible chance to at least figure in quinella but lacked the gears.
4 5 PRIMIATA (CG226) M L Yeung B/TT Set a steady pace in front once leading on fence by 1L at 1300 M, headed about 150 M out and lost out on a place in closing stages.
5 2 KING OF FISH (CB105) G Mosse B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
6 12 NOBLE TWINS (CH257) M Du Plessis B Slow to begin, 4-back on fence about 6Ls off speed in 12th at 1000 M and similar on straightening, recovered some solid late ground, never nearer.
7 14 SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) M W Leung TT Went back from wide gate, 8Ls last at 1200 M, still well behind off last bend, ran on fairly well past beaten rivals late on to be nearest at finish.
8 10 DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) F Coetzee TT Awkward break, raced 3-back along the rails in midfield about 4Ls from speed until home straight, failed to respond to hard riding in last 400 M.
9 8 ALL FOR ONE (CH180) C W Wong -- Niggled along in places when 5Ls back in 9th or 10th down back straight, never likely to improve from a worse than midfield position in the stretch.
10 7 GEM MASTER (CG235) C K Tong B/TT One from rear about 7Ls behind steady pace down back straight, 6Ls last swinging for home, never made much of an impact. (Tactic questioned.)
11 13 FILEBO (CE214) B Doyle B Midfield with cover about 3Ls or 4Ls behind pacesetter right until the home straight, disappointing finish after such a seemingly comfortable run. (Questioned for poor performance.)
12 1 PURE ALPHA (CH008) D Whyte CP/XB Switched inside from wide gate but could only find a 3-wide position with cover in rear, 5Ls down in 10th angling for home but weakened out. (Questioned for poor performance.)
13 4 CELESTIAL WONDER (CG046) W M Lai XB/TT Trapped 4-wide no cover until the final turn in a mostly midfield position about 4Ls from the pace, extra work quickly exacted its toll.
14 6 ARISTOCRACY (CG070) H W Lai -- Always worse than midfield and 4-wide with cover through opening 1000 M, 5-wide (widest) off last curve when struggling, yielded further ground.
