2 5 FOREVER ELATION (CK215) T Angland B Away with rest, ended up 5Ls back in midfield on rails, crept closer saving ground turning, made a strong bid at 200m, overhauled by winner late.
3 8 DEEP THINKER (CN159) T H So XB Broke well, took prime position on leaders back, all favours to bend, into mix from 300m, stayed on well but unable to find extra last 100m.
4 11 DOUBLE DRAGON (CK019) W M Lai H Showed plenty of early speed to cross from a wide gate racing outside leader, fair run with even sections, applied test to leader at 400m and took over, peaked 100m.
5 13 GIGGLES FOREVER (CN069) C K Tong H Angled into a spot behind midfield, raced 6-7Ls back in 2 wide line, plenty to do turning, closed best of rest to be nearest on line.
6 3 KING'S PACT (CN244) Z Purton TT Drifted back from a tricky alley, raced behind midfield, 3 wide 6-7Ls away with cover, still near last turning, bumped in straight and kept on ok despite this to make minor progress.
7 9 MEDALLIST (CN024) M Du Plessis CP/H1/TT Jumped with them, taken back to race behind midfield, shade keen in a 3 wide position with cover on circle, 5ls or so away turning, switched out but only battled when clear.
8 1 AFFLUENCE OF RAIN (CL363) W C Marwing H/P/TT Even break, went forward but posted 3 wide throughout, had cover in midfield on circle 4Ls back, clear from 300m but was one paced concluding stages.
9 7 UWILLBEGLORIOUS (CN212) W Pike B Standard jump, allowed to drift back, raced 4 wide at rear 6ls back, keen in mid section and still well back to bend, bumped at 200m, stayed on ok in circumstances.
10 6 GOLDEN OSMANTHUS (CN245) Y T Cheng H- No early speed, settled at rear on rails, 7Ls or so off lead, always well back, took inside runs turning and passed a few tired runners late.
11 14 MERIDIAN TREASURE (CN084) C W Wong -- Even start, trapped 4 wide and pressed on to race 3 wide without cover 3Ls back, did work until turning, soon struggling and faded after tough trip.
12 12 ALL FRIENDS (CM374) H W Lai -- Away in line, pressed on but caught 4 wide, unable to slot in and travelled very wide with cover throughout, struggling turning and unable to raise another effort after hard run.
13 4 MI SAVVY (CN138) O Doleuze SR Began nicely and took a trail in ideal spot 1 out 1 back, travelled well throughout, peeled out turning but offered little and weakened disappointingly (see racing incidents).
14 2 ALL VICTORY (CM107) M Chadwick TT Showed plenty of speed to lead from wide gate, set even tempo to suit, challenged at 400m, kept on to 200m when run ended.
