1 9 GENERAL DANSKE (CG296) H W Lai TT First to show out 3-wide without cover but soon crossed to lead on fence, up to 1L clear until home turn, driven clear for convincing victory.
2 10 TAIJI SPIRIT (CD185) M Nunes V/TT Nicely placed in 5th about 4Ls off pace and 2-wide until turning for home, stayed on best of the rest for 2nd but had little hope with the winner.
3 6 KINGS CROSS (CG124) B Prebble -- On fence about 2Ls or 3Ls from the lead on fence in 3rd or 4th till the final turn, had every chance to at least take 2nd but was simply outpaced.
4 1 PLEZAYRE (CG116) K T Yeung XB/TT Pressed on out 4-wide no cover early to track leader and winner out 2-wide at 800 M, 1L down in 2nd at top of home straight, faded out one-paced.
5 7 SIAMERIC TE SPECSO (CE171) K L Chui -- Well placed in 3rd or 4th out 2-wide between 2Ls and 3Ls from the speed until home bend, found very little under pressure.
6 8 MAGIC CHARIOT (CH094) Z Purton B-/PC1/H Never better than midfield, towards rear with 5Ls or 6Ls to make up until home turn, no significant impression. (Lame next day.)
7 2 KINGIFLY (CG020) C K Tong TT 2-wide in rear about 7Ls or 8Ls back until home bend, never dangerous.
8 4 HAPPY GO LUCKY (CH127) G Boss B 3-back on fence in midfield about 5Ls from the front before the final turn, sluggish under pressure.
9 3 MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) G Mosse PC/TT Slowest away, got back and left 4-wide no cover at the 800 M when 6Ls back in 10th, never landed a blow.
10 12 FLORAL PRINCE (CG299) W M Lai B- Switched from wide gate to be 8Ls last at 1000 M, made only very minor late ground in the stretch.
11 5 SUPER HONEY (CE187) D Whyte -- Always about 5Ls back in midfield with cover, very one-paced and no excuses.
12 11 CRYSTAL (CE209) C W Wong B Always in the rear bunch at least 6Ls from the speed, never on terms.
