1 6 NORTHERN HERO (CG172) O Doleuze -- Slow to begin, steadily improved to sit 3 wide 5Ls back with cover in midfield, had an even trip with pace on, shifted to middle turning, came with strong run hitting lead 100 M out and fought hard holding slender margin on line.
2 3 PRIME SCORE (CG280) E Saint-Martin B Restrained from outside alley, ended up at tail 8Ls off the lead, raced 2 wide and helped by solid tempo, still last leaving circle, came to outside still 5Ls back at 200 M, flew late making huge amount of ground to just miss.
3 5 MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) D Nikolic TT Away with them, proved difficult to settle early when taken back to find position, ended up trailing 3 wide 6Ls of pace towards rear, assisted by speed, made plenty of ground from well back to be just behind in 5 way finish.
4 9 SECRET OF KINGS (CG102) M Nunes B Bumped on jumping, ended up in rearward division, raced 2 wide 6Ls from frontrunners, aided by speed in mid-section, in behind horses and without a clear run early in straight, flew late when clear to make frame.
5 12 RELY ON ME (CE068) M W Leung TT Bounced out, had plenty of toe to lead them at a good gallop, pressured on circle by outside horses, held a narrow lead turning in, kicked hard in straight, defied them to 100 M before overhauled.
6 8 ENCHANTED (CE065) D Whyte SR Only fairly away, raced 3 wide in midfield 3Ls back with cover, urged along to improve on circle, made 4 wide run turning in, threatened at 200 M but just peaked on run at 100 M.
7 4 MULTI MILLIONS (CD207) K L Chui SR Standard jump, raced on rails 4Ls back in midfield, had a quiet run in mid-section and aided by tempo, urged along turning in, kept to rails and made steady progress without threatening to be nearest on line.
8 10 ALL TIME HIGH (CG285) S K Sit XB/TT Well enough away, slotted into a prominent role 2Ls back trailing leader, carted along behind a solid pace, close enough entering straight, lacked a dash but held ground evenly with a one paced finish.
9 14 SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) S Dye -- First to hit ground, pressed on to challenge for front, raced at leaders girth working to hold spot, right there turning in, workload took toll at 250 M and steadily faded out thereafter.
10 11 FOREVER FIGHT (CH250) W M Lai B1 Moderate break, urged to sit closer, had ideal trip 1 out 1 back 2Ls back, tracked speed nicely on bend, ridden along when checked at 300 M, only closed at one speed in run to line.
11 2 WISE LOVER (CE095) C K Tong B Tardy to break, ridden along early, settled in rear on rails 6Ls from leaders, saved ground on fence rounding turn, made run between horses in straight making steady progress to 200 M before checked, moderate thereafter.
12 7 VICTORY TURBO (CD320) B Prebble -- Standard beginning, faded back to settle in midfield 2 wide 5Ls back, had an even trip between horses pushed along on turning, lacked usual finishing burst, inconvenienced at 200 M but was one paced regardless.
13 1 YANKEE (CH271) G Mosse -- Out with them, unable to slot in from a wide alley and posted 4 wide without cover 5 to 6Ls away, did it the hard way and under pressure to stay there on bend, dropped out when tough run took effect just battling to line.
14 13 ARROGANCE (CA177) Y T Cheng B Began with first few, held a forward spot but couldn't cross, forced to race 3 wide outside leader, kept pressure on with solid speed, right there but under pressure on turning, weakened out from 300 M after hard run.
