1 7 CLASSIC KING (CD256) E Saint-Martin B/TT Worse than midfield about 5Ls back with cover at 1200 M, still 4Ls down in about 8th off final bend, closed off well through the pack to lead final strides.
2 10 SERIOUS PLAY (CC003) H W Lai B Nicely positioned about 2Ls off pace on fence in 3rd or 4th through to final bend, led 300 M out and looked the winner before hanging in at the 200 M and tying up late on.
3 5 VINCERE (CE324) D Whyte B Always on and off the bridle 3-back on the fence in mid-division about 3Ls or 4Ls off speed until home turn, stayed on okay to just nick a place.
4 12 AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) A Delpech B In rear about 7Ls back at 1200 M, 5Ls down and improving when short of room turning for home, ran on fairly well late, never nearer.
5 4 DURABLE (CE190) B Prebble -- 2Ls behind pace in 6th when 2-wide at the 1000 M, same margin back in 4th when 3-wide off home bend, had every chance to win and no excuses.
6 6 KEY WINNER (CG157) O Doleuze TT One from rear passing post for the first time, same position about 6Ls behind on the turn for home, stayed on fairly out wide, nearest at finish.
7 1 SOLAR (CC198) G Mosse B Slowest away, 8Ls last 1400 M out, pressed on out wider and 4-deep no cover in 7th about 4Ls off pace in mid-division at 800 M, gained cover on the circle, one-paced final 200 M.
8 8 WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) Y T Cheng SR/V 2Ls off pace in 4th but 4-wide without cover at 1000 M, sent on to lead at 800 M but couldn't cross to fence, headed at top of homestretch and faded final 200 M.
9 3 ABLE STANDARD (CG043) K L Chui B/TT Crossed to lead by 1L on fence at 1200 M, headed at 800 M, 1L down in 2nd off home turn, faded out tamely.
10 2 SPACED (CG034) M W Leung TT Always prominent, 2Ls back in 3rd at the 800 M, driven along to make an impact from same position off final turn, very weak finish.
11 11 WATCHMAN (CB327) C K Tong B/SR Caught 3-wide without cover throughout, 3Ls back in midfield out wide at halfway, struggling to keep up on straightening and wilted in the closing stages.
12 9 BAUHINIA (CD118) F Coetzee PC-/B2 Awkward start, 4Ls back in midfield with cover at 1000 M, lost position and hard ridden in rear at the 600 M, no impression.
