1 13 AMAZING VENTURE (CJ039) D Beadman -- 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th at 1000 M, closer and going very well off last bend, led 200 M out and pulled clear for a nice win.
2 2 BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) K M Chin -- Led on fence by 1L at the 1000 M, half a length clear turning for home, headed about 200 M out but hung onto 2nd easily enough.
3 11 SHATIN WIN WIN (CE284) Z Purton H/TT Close-up but 3-wide no cover throughout, 3Ls back in 4th from halfway to home turn, stayed on pretty well despite the tough trip for a place.
4 12 FANTASTIC TIME (CH220) H W Lai CP Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls down at 800 M, within 1L of lead in 2nd entering homestretch, upsides with every chance 200 M out, no extra.
5 9 OSCAR PRINCE (CJ052) D Whyte -- Worse than midfield and 3-wide with cover about 5Ls down at 1000 M, a little closer on straightening but could only hold his ground thereafter.
6 8 MOONGLOW (CG008) G Mosse B/XB/TT 4-back on fence 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, midfield and 3Ls down into straight, without clear running final 100 M, possibly unlucky not to place.
7 5 ONE TOUCH (CH199) Y T Cheng B1 4-wide no cover in rear down backstretch, 7Ls down at the 800 M, under pressure turning in, made only very minor late ground.
8 6 WILD ACE (CH009) O Peslier TT 3-back on fence about 4Ls down in mid-division at halfway, 3Ls down in 6th off last bend, couldn't get much closer and one-paced final 200 M.
9 1 ISLAND SUNRISE (CE276) K L Chui TT 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1000 M, ridden along to try and lead wheeling for home, all out to remain in touch 200 M out, tired late. (Mucus discharge.)
10 14 KING OF SPADES (CC056) W M Lai B 8Ls back in 12th at 1000 M, unbalanced when bumping rail at 600 M, 6Ls down in 11th off last bend, without much room late but always held anyway.
11 4 JOLLY BIRD (CJ154) C K Tong -- 4Ls back in midfield at 1000 M with cover, same margin back in 10th off last turn, never likely to improve position much. (Lost a plate.)
12 3 GALLANT WIN (CH028) G Boss B One from rear about 9Ls behind early pace, 7Ls down in 12th turning for home, remained in rear.
13 10 TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) E Wilson H Over-raced in rear when 10Ls last at 1000 M, still in rear 8Ls back off last turn, failed to improve.
14 7 TOUCH LUCKY (CH193) P H Lo B/XB/TT- Didn't break well, very keen for most of backstretch in 8th or 9th about 6Ls off pace, struggling turning for home and soon gone. (Abnormal breathing noise.)
