1 | 6 | GENKI KING (CD309) | F Coetzee | TT | Broke well, showed good speed to challenge for early lead, held lead narrowly on outside, rolled along at good pace, took charge at 200 M and kept going to score an easy win. |
2 | 5 | DASHING WINNER (CA018) | G Schofield | SR/CO | Jumped with them, restrained to sit just off speed, held spot 2 wide 3 to 4Ls away, had good run to turn, obtained split at 300 M and chased strongly but unable to match winner. |
3 | 11 | DR POSSI (CE288) | Y T Cheng | -- | Away with field ridden up to hold prominent spot 1 out 1 back 1L away from leaders, eased 3 wide on turn, chased steadily in straight making ground without threatening winner. |
4 | 2 | TAIJI SPIRIT (CD185) | C Soumillon | V/TT | Jumped with line, trapped wide from awkward alley. Settled 3 wide midfield 4 to 5Ls away with cover, kept coming in straight with run between horses to narrowly miss 3rd. |
5 | 9 | TOP HONOR (CE183) | C Brown | -- | Average to begin, hard ridden to maintain position just worse than midfield, raced on rails 6 to 7Ls away in middle stages, made run between horses in straight closing strongly late to be closest at finish. |
6 | 10 | PROFIT HILL (CE274) | O Doleuze | -- | Began with them, pushed along to hold position just behind leaders on rail 1L away, had run of race to turn, angled clear in straight but lacked another gear to figure and could only hold ground to line. |
7 | 1 | SANZIRO (CE208) | C K Tong | -- | Average into stride, hard ridden to share lead on rails, pressured throughout at good clip, held narrow advantage into straight, early effort told and found little last 200 M. |

9 | 7 | KIMBO KID (CC379) | M W Leung | P-/PC1 | Slow to begin, hard ridden early, checked at 1000 M and lost ground, raced in last position thereafter, 8Ls from leaders, under pressure entering straight, passed only tired runners in run home. |
10 | 3 | SPACE SHUTTLE (CE321) | D Whyte | B-/P1 | Average to begin, driven along to take up midfield position on rails 4 to 5Ls away, always chasing in run, followed paint into straight but unable to finish race off. |
11 | 4 | PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) | C Munce | -- | Jumped with them from outside alley, unable to cross and drifted back to midfield, 3 and 4 wide without cover throughout, always working, wide run took toll and plugged to line. |
