1 6 BAUHINIA (CD118) O Doleuze PC-/B2 Travelled kindly in 3rd or 4th place 1 to 2Ls off the lead. Niggled along in the back straight. Under pressure 400 M out to improve on the outside. Pulled away to win unchallenged 200 M out.
2 1 GIDDY KIPPER (CB303) D Whyte B Towards rear about 5Ls off the pace. Midfield turning in by saving ground along rail. Ran on steadily to snatch 2nd in the closing stages without threatening the winner.
3 4 DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) C Soumillon -- Travelled nicely in 3rd or 4th place 2Ls back along back straight. Tracked leader turning in but unable to quicken final 200 M and lost 2nd in the closing stages.
4 5 FIGS (CE141) C Munce B Midfield or better about 3 to 4Ls back. 2Ls down upon straightening. Kept on steadily without threatening placed horses.
5 7 HAPPY HEROES (CD261) R Fradd B Behind midfield or worse and trapped 3-deep. Widest turning in. Made up some ground final 250 M but never looked likely to get a placing.
6 11 DASH FOR VICTORIES (CB389) C Brown V-/SR1 Went forward from wide draw to sit outside the leader. Kept on in straight until weakened 200 M out.
7 10 LUCKY BIRD (CB342) M W Leung B Slowly away. At rear. Made up some ground final 200 M.
8 9 RED FORTUNE (CE192) C W Wong B-/H- Very slowly away. At back and hung out most the way. Made up some late ground final 200 M but simply had too much to do.
9 12 HENNESSY DAYS (CD304) H K Yim P- Midfield. Failed to make any impression in straight.
10 8 NOBLE GLORY (CB145) H W Lai B/TT Towards rear. Hung in after straightening. Never a factor.

12 2 RISING WIN (CC089) Y T Cheng -- Around midfield but trapped wide and without cover all the way. Weakened badly 200 M from home.
