1 8 WHISKY POWER (CH291) M W Leung -- Away nicely, pressed on to race outside leader, raced on bridle with even tempo, 1/2L down on circle, moved up to challenge at 400 M, took over passing 250 M, urged along under hands and heels to score with something in hand.
2 13 GENERAL SPEEDEE (CG193) Y T Cheng TT Broke with first few, held a prominent spot on leaders back, had run of race in mid-section, still 1L down on turning, angled out at 300 M, closed off well to narrowly take 2nd.
3 5 HOLI RAVIOLI (CG201) G Mosse -- Began with rest, pushed on from a wide alley to race 4 wide outside midfield, always working 2 to 3Ls back, had cover on bend, came to middle on straightening and did best work late for a placing.
4 1 THUNDER VALLEY (CG074) B Prebble B/H1 Moderate break, ended up in midfield 3 to 4Ls back on rails, had a soft run with even pace on, 2Ls back in the turning, came between runners and inconvenienced at 200 M when improving. Kept on well to make frame.
5 10 RACING SPIRIT (CE105) O Doleuze B/TT Fair to begin, went forward to take a prominent role, raced 3 wide outside leaders 1 to 2Ls back, worked hard without cover to bend, 1L down turning, run ended at 200 M and only held ground thereafter.
6 11 VITAL PATROL (CC335) F Coetzee -- Out with rest but soon taken back to rail, improved to be 5Ls back on fence behind midfield, saved ground on bend, had every chance in straight but lacked an extra gear, made some late ground at same speed.
7 4 JAMESINA (CH290) A Delpech -- Away fairly, pressed on but posted 3 wide in midfield and became unbalanced 4 to 5Ls back, had trail but forced to cover extra ground to bend, flat out to pick up turning, just produced a one paced effort last 300 M.
8 14 SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) W M Lai -- Even jump but faded back to race behind midfield, 5Ls back in 2 wide line throughout, niggled along on circle, made some minor progress between horses in straight but never really threatened.
9 9 BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) D Nikolic -- Restrained from a wide gate, ended up 3 wide 7 to 8Ls back near to last, had trail and improved wide on bend, widest in straight and made a little ground under hands and heels riding.
10 2 CALIFORNIA HEART (CE078) K L Chui B/XB/TT Fastest out, couldn't take up running and took a trail 1 out 1 back, had a fair trip to bend before steadied at 600 M, close enough 2Ls down turning, struggled when sprint went on in straight, gradually dropping out.
11 12 DOUCAI (CC255) C K Tong B2 Began well, showed early pace to lead, kept pace honest with pressure by eventual winner, 1/2L clear on circle, kicked to 300 M but folded tamely thereafter losing plenty of ground late.
12 3 CITY SURFER (CG129) C W Wong H Standard jump, lacked early pace and drifted back to be 8Ls back on rails, saved ground on fence in mid-division, always well back turning, one paced in finish but did hit trouble at 100 M.
13 6 DECENT FELLOW (CH021) H W Lai -- Began with rest, raced 3 wide behind midfield 6 to 7Ls back, had cover but did share of work to bend, gradually weakened over the concluding stages.
14 7 DECISIVE (CG252) M Nunes -- Slow into stride, ended up at tail 10Ls from speed, chased along and raced greenly on circle, offered nothing in run to line.
