1 10 STELLAR EXPRESS (J186) A Atzeni B Soon led along the stand rail after a clean jump, broke away from the field passing 400M, kept on strongly to the line for a wide margin victory. (Jockey fined for returning 2 lbs overweight.)
2 6 COLOURFUL KING (K227) Z Purton TT Jumped awkwardly, settled back in the field, badly held up for clear running from 500-150M before closing off strongly to take 2nd beaten 3L by the runaway winner.
3 3 INVINCIBLE SAGE (H301) J Orman CP Jumped on terms, settled down midfield towards the center of field, driven halfway and improved to 2nd near 200M, lacked the extra to challenge late stages.
4 2 WUNDERBAR (H411) H Bowman E Settled near last after the jump, switched to center of track 400M then closed off the race fairly well. (Jockey - rode in a conservatively manner with the expected fast pace.)
5 4 MAGIC CONTROL (J333) C L Chau TT Began well enough, settled towards the rear early stages before improving position 450M, fought on steadily to 150M then faded.
6 11 WE ARE HERO (G207) E C W Wong V/TT Settled down midfield not far off the leaders, held up for clear running near 200M then raced tight 150M before responding fairly late stages.
7 1 BEAUTY WAVES (H294) A Badel TT Jumped on terms, raced just off leaders, couldn't quicken under top weight passing 400M, out of contention 200M from home.
8 5 VICTOR THE WINNER (G404) K C Leung B/TT Held up in midfield with cover, couldn't keep up with rivals passing 400M, soon beaten.
9 7 LADY'S CHOICE (H155) M F Poon B Jumped only fairly, soon taken back to last 5Ls, failed to run on passing halfway. Never in the picture.
10 8 BABY CRYSTAL (H081) M L Yeung B/TT Began well and settled just off leader, came under pressure 500M, lost 2nd inside 250M then weakened away badly.
11 9 CHATEAUNEUF (J219) H Bentley B/TT Chased leaders along the stand rail, couldn't pick up pace when the race got serious halfway, weakened to last. (Blood in trachea.)
