1 5 CANDLELIGHT DINNER (J468) M Guyon H Away swiftly, tracked speed one off the rail, loomed up 150m out and quickened nicely to score, despite laying in over the final stages.
2 4 ETERNAL FORTUNE (K010) E C W Wong B/TT Began awkwardly, momentarily racing wide without cover before ridden along to be outside the leader, battled on well but just couldn't hold off the winner over final 50m (See Incident Report).
3 3 LOVE TOGETHER (L052) C Y Ho TT Average to begin, urged along early stages to stay in touch with the field 4 back the fence, dashed home when winner was off and gone.
4 11 PI LEGEND (L117) Z Purton TT Sat midfield the rail with a charmed run, held position but no pace to challenge the top three.

6 9 ACE CHAMPION (K379) R Kingscote P-/TT Broke awkwardly and settled 2nd last after crowded at the start, accelerated only until the last 50m, beaten less than 3L.
7 10 PARENTS' LOVE (H405) Y L Chung H/TT Quickest away from the stalls and straight to the lead, setting fast sectionals, stuck to the task until the last 75m, passed by some strong-finishing rivals thereafter.
8 1 RED ELEGANCE (H241) L Ferraris B Taken back to last from gate 10, ridden quietly, made up some ground over the final stages.
9 8 IRON SECURITY (L174) K C Leung B-/TT- Jumped ok and sat midfield one off, failed to find extra gear to close off his first race in Hong Kong.
10 6 METRO POWER (K408) L Hewitson B Bounced away nicely, 2 lengths or so on the leader's back, checked 350m out, struggled to pick up momentum and soon after dropped away (See Incident Report).
11 2 WHIZZ KID (E392) H Bowman V/TT Away well from the widest draw, covered ground throughout, swung widest for home, unable to sustain run final stages.
