1 7 NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) M L Yeung B/TT Travelled smoothly just off the pace and looked a strong chance going into the straight, picked up well and swept to the front near 100 M and always had enough to repel the persistent 2nd.
2 10 OPTIC KING (CE139) D Beadman SR/CP/TT Broke well from the inside draw and placed prominently behind leaders, came through inside 150 M to dispute it with the eventual winner but was held in the closing stages.
3 6 PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) K C Leung -- Fastest away and led them steadily on the fence, kicked 2Ls clear inside 300 M, kept on but was eventually headed 100 M from home.
4 4 SINGLE MALT (CK110) M Chadwick B/TT Standard jump, slotted into a 2-wide position in midfield, gradually picked up on straightening and made up some late ground without being able to threaten the first three.
5 11 TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) M Du Plessis B/TT Quickly recovered from a slow start, settled in midfield along the fence, had his chance against the inside rail but found no extra close home.
6 12 MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) M W Leung SR/B2 Niggled along in the first half to hold a position behind midfield on the rail, took a while to get going in straight and closed off the race fairly.
7 5 FAST WINNER (CG140) D Whyte BO Didn't go forward possibly due to the wide draw and was trapped 3-deep without cover behind midfield, did make up some ground from off the pace but was never likely.
8 1 SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) B Prebble H/TT Quietly ridden in early stages and settled in a 2-wide backward position 6Ls off the pace, made his move out wide than most in straight but picked up only fairly.
9 9 SHINING DRAGON (CC181) Y T Cheng SR/V Taken back on jumping from the wide barrier, crossed to race towards the rear of the field, had 7Ls to make up inside 400 M but could only make limited headway along the inside. (Jockey and Trainer questioned.)
10 2 CHAIN WIN (CJ315) Z Purton H Hard ridden forward to race outside the lead, under pressure approaching home straight and was soon on the retreat passing 300 M. (Jockey questioned.)
11 3 FOREVER SUPPORT (CK024) H W Lai B/TT Ridden to hold a position behind midfield after a sluggish start, found very little under pressure and never looked like getting involved.
12 8 MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) B Doyle B Failed to muster speed and struggled to stay in touch from midway, beaten early in straight. No impression.
