1 6 VICTOR SUPREME (K547) C Y Ho V Reserved in midfield 6Ls off the steady pace, switched to 3-wide making the turn for home, quickened up impressively from 400M, led mid-straight before powering away to win by big margin.
2 9 FIREFOOT (J183) J Moreira B/TT Caught racing wide no cover in midfield, moved up 600M to be tracking the pace turning into straight, kept on steadily to go 2nd mid-straight, no match for the runaway winner.
3 3 INNO SUPER (K319) C L Chau B/TT Chased leaders in a steadily run race, close enough top of the straight, kept battling to the line and got up for 3rd close home.
4 10 SMART FAT CAT (K280) A Badel H/P/TT From draw 14 moved up to track leader, pressed along 500M to be challenging for the lead, peaked on its run 200M, couldn't go on. (Trainer - instructed jockey to go forward from wide barrier.)
5 4 SUPREME MASTERMIND (K387) L Ferraris XB Jumped fairly, given a reserved ride near the rear, still 8Ls to make up 400M, closed off moderately to claim 5th but was never likely.
6 13 I EXCELLE (K502) Y L Chung H/TT Away fast to take the lead, took them along at steady pace middle stages, headed by rivals nearing 200M, no extra final stages.
7 12 GRAND TURBO (L138) Z Purton B/TT Not hurried on jumping from draw 1, settled in second half of the field, ran on only fairly in the straight. No threat to leaders.
8 2 MR COOL (K184) K Teetan CP/TT Settled ahead of midfield in 5th spot, ran home one paced final 400M. Never going the pace to challenge. (No Vet findings.)
9 14 KINGLY DEMEANOR (H486) P N Wong TT Pushed along to be racing closely behind leaders, couldn't sustain run passing 350M, weakened towards the finish. (No Vet findings.)
10 7 BRIGHT INHERITANCE (J215) M F Poon SR-/B Slow to begin, ended up racing in last over 10Ls off the pace, in similar position making the home turn before running past a few beaten horses in the straight.
11 8 LEAPING STAR (L189) E Brown CP Guided to a position behind midfield, raced keenly early stages then swung wide over the home turn, failed to pick up pace on straightening.
12 5 CELTIC TIMES (G230) M Chadwick B/TT Held up in midfield 4-5Ls off the pace, couldn't keep up with leaders passing 400M, weakened rapidly.
13 11 SMILING ONE (K336) K C Leung B/TT Jumped only fairly, given a waiting ride near last 8-9Ls off the pace, had big task in hand top of straight, failed to respond and finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)
14 1 MISSION GIANT (K577) J Orman V From draw 3 settled down in midfield along the inside, couldn't go on turning into straight, weakened rapidly to finish tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.)
