2 10 SHINING DRAGON (CC181) O Doleuze SR Close-up when hindered at 1100 M and keen at early on, about 2Ls back in 4th out 2-wide until home turn, 1L down in 3rd at 200 M, stayed on well but lost out on bob of heads.
3 1 GANBARIA (CE052) C K Tong B Led by a neck on fence at 1000 M, maintained similar margin until being headed about 250 M out, stayed on fairly well and regained a place on the line.
4 5 BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) D Whyte TT 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 800 M, sent on to lead 250 M out but headed about 50 M out, just missed out on a place.

6 6 CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) H W Lai TT Hampered early on, hanging out at 1000 M when holding the box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd, still just 1L back in 3rd at the 200 M but one-paced late.

11 2 GOLDEN STRIDE (CA343) K T Yeung B2/TT Slowest away, in rear group but with cover at least 5Ls from the front until home turn, posed not the slightest danger.
