1 14 FOREST STAR (CJ167) M Chadwick TT Behind midfield, raced wide in the early and middle stages, had plenty to do turning for home but quickened impressively to wear down his rivals 50 M from home.
2 12 TOUCH LUCKY (CH193) K C Leung XB/B2/TT Allowed to stride to the front from a wide barrier but was unable to cross before the turn and covered extra ground, delivered a strong challenge inside 350 M, came close to win and only just failed.
3 4 AASHIQ (CK175) D Whyte -- Away well enough, tracked leaders but proved difficult to settle in early stages, showed a smart turn of foot to sweep into the lead near 300 M, battled gamely but couldn't fend off the first two late on.
4 7 SAPELLI (CK191) F Coetzee B1 Swiftly taken to the front and held the inside running, travelled sweetly throughout, kept on well and displayed a likeable attitude when the race got serious. Beaten by more experienced rivals.
5 11 LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) W C Marwing B-/BO1 Jumped well, restrained to midfield for cover but was never far off the pace, squeezed his way out near 400 M, threatened with a strong run but could not sustain his effort inside final 100 M.
6 3 COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) T H So -- Quickly into stride and was soon in the front rank, emerged as the race leader turning in, headed near 300 M, kept giving before weakening inside the final 100 M.
7 8 SPARKLING (CK149) D Beadman -- Average jump, settled behind midfield along the fence, switched outside for his run passing 400 M, took time to gather but was able to make some headway inside 200 M.
8 5 EXCELLENT ELITE (CJ316) J Winks TT1 In midfield 3Ls back, 2-wide with cover turning in, ran on only fairly when asked for his effort, flattened inside 200 M.
9 9 BLESS US ALL (CK086) B Doyle XB Taken back on jumping, stayed in a rearward position 6Ls off the pace and was a shade keen in middle stages, taken very wide on straightening and was very one-paced in its finish.
10 1 WIND KNIGHT (CJ326) C K Tong SR Urged along to hold a 3-wide position in midfield, shuffled back turning in, taken wide on straightening and found little off the bridle.
11 10 FLORAL IMAGE (CK027) Y T Cheng TT In the front rank but unable to cross, 3-wide without cover turning for home, weakened inside 300 M, no extra in the closing stages.
12 2 BERNINI (CJ168) P H Lo -- Slow to begin, settled in 2nd last about 6 to 7Ls behind leader, struggled for pace turning in and could not find anything when asked in straight.
13 13 METRO RIDER (CJ264) H W Lai P-/XB/H1 Taken back on jumping from a wide barrier, in rear throughout and made a wide turn for home, never picked up in straight. Another disappointing effort.
14 6 MAGIC PRACTITIONER (CK125) O Doleuze -- Held a midfield position along the rails, soon weakened on straightening and gave ground rapidly from 350 M.
