1 1 STARLIGHT (V273) Z Purton -- Tracked leaders along the inside, travelled strongly to straight, moved up well to lead near 150M, always in control towards the finish completing a hat-trick of wins.
2 11 G-ONE LOVER (T427) H T Mo B/TT Never far off from leaders but no closer than 3-wide throughout the race, gave chase from 300M but couldn't reel in the odds on favourite. Easily accounted for the rest.
3 6 GRACE HEART (S399) M F Poon -- Held up 3-wide in midfield, 4Ls to make up 400M, swung widest leaving the bend, worked home well to claim 3rd just in time but not reached first two.
4 5 INTREPIC (A139) S Clipperton B Reserved in midfield, well covered, worked home steadily without threatening first 2, just missed 3rd in a blanket finish
5 3 SO FAST (S419) H N Wong H-/P-/E1/B2 Led steadily, headed by winner nearing 150M, faded to 5th late stages.
6 4 IRON BOY (V071) K C Leung B/TT In midfield hugging the rail, 3Ls off leader 400M, ran on only fairly and well held by leaders.
7 2 HAIR TRIGGER (A215) T Berry B Taken across from wide barrier, held up last 6-7Ls off the steady pace, made some ground over final 300M without threatening.
8 8 NAVAS (V362) N Rawiller B-/XB/V1 Dropped back after the start, held up 2nd last 5-6Ls back, denied an inside early straight, closed off well switched lane, severely checked near the finish.
9 12 BACK IN BLACK (T358) D Whyte TT Eased back to a rearward spot, in 10th place 4-5Ls back, no clear until 200M, worked home well and could have finished closer.
10 9 MASTER VIKING (S385) U Rispoli V/TT Sent forward from draw 12, tracked leader 0.5L back, couldn't sustain run passing 200M, faded towards the line.
11 7 GOOD COMPANION (A052) M Chadwick TT Jumped well to be chasing leaders passing 1000M, didn't quicken on straightening, outsprinted inside 200M.
12 10 HAPPY HAPPY STAR (A011) C Y Ho B1 From draw 6 ended up in a 3-wide spot without cover, close up to pace making home turn, weakened away 250M.
