1 2 SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) D Beadman -- Jumped well. Close up to pace early but dropped back to mid-division approaching home turn, gradually picked up from 300 M and confirmed his ability in this lower grade with a workmanlike victory.
2 11 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) M W Leung B Away in line, assumed a position 3-wide in midfield, made good progress down the outside in straight, looked a winner 100 M out but was outrun close home.
3 7 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) G Cheyne B2 Broke well from the inside, tracked race leader one back on the fence, took a while to put things together and started making progress inside 200 M. Good effort.
4 8 SUPER FAMILY (CJ153) H W Lai B Slow to begin but soon recovered and led steadily, all out passing 400 M, kept giving until stamina gave way inside 100 M.
5 4 BERNINI (CJ168) Z Purton B Tracked well along the fence in midfield, came through horses to challenge 300 M out, briefly threatened but couldn't sustain effort inside final 150 M.
6 6 SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) B Doyle TT Settled in a position behind midfield 6Ls back, switched to inside and saved ground over the turn, had some difficulty finding clear run near 200 M but stayed on well towards the line.
7 9 WINNING AHEAD (CJ018) J Lloyd TT Up with the pace early, eased back to sit in midfield before turning, made some progress inside 400 M but not enough to trouble the principals.
8 14 EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) Y T Cheng B-/TT- Met with interference shortly after the start and ended up racing as the back marker 8Ls away, became detached passing the top of the bend but gradually picked up on straightening and stayed on well inside final 200 M.
9 13 FOREVER FORTUNE (CG145) W Pike B/TT First to jump, gradually taken back and slotted into a 3 wide spot towards the rear before the turn, responded only fairly down the outside on straightening. Never dangerous.
10 12 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) C W Wong B Made some use early to keep up with the early pace, under serious pressure passing 300 M, faded rapidly over the closing stages.

13 5 ODE TO JOY (CJ298) D Whyte B Eased back on jumping from a wide barrier to look for cover, towards the rear throughout, under urge from 500 M but gave very limited resonse. No impression.
