1 2 NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) G Boss -- 8Ls adrift in 11th early on, 6Ls last and widest into home straight, stayed on very strongly to get up right on the wire.
2 9 WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) B Prebble B/TT 6Ls behind speed in 8th out 2-wide at 1000 M, headway from the 500 M, ran on well in the straight but missed the win in last bound.
3 12 CHAMPION LAD (CH042) D Beadman XB/TT 9Ls last 1000 M out, circled the field 3-wide no cover from 600 M to lead at top of home straight, grabbed by quinella pair in final strides.
4 3 FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) O Doleuze -- On the rails 7Ls down in 9th at 1000 M, shuffled back to second last turning for home, ran on well late, nearest at finish.
5 11 BILLION (CH316) Y T Cheng -- Box-seated in 3rd at 1000 M, 2Ls back in 4th off final bend, had his chance to place but lacked the dash.
6 1 BEST POWER (CG006) G Mosse B/TT 4-back on rails about 5Ls behind speed in 7th at 1000 M, shuffled back to 10th into homestretch, made some good late ground, never nearer.
7 7 BOBO WIN (CC238) C W Wong TT Led by 1L from 1000 M, headed just before the turn for home and one-paced on the run-in.
8 4 SOLAR (CC198) C K Tong B/TT Awkward break, 8Ls back in 10th out 2-wide at 1000 M, 5Ls down in 9th entering straight, stayed there.
9 10 BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) W M Lai -- Nice position on rails in 4th about 4Ls from early pace, same margin behind but hard ridden turning for home, gave ground.
10 8 ROMANTIC GREEN (CG123) F Coetzee BO/TT 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1100 M, 1L back in 3rd swinging for home, weakened rapidly and no excuses.
11 5 DON RICARDO (CE262) K T Yeung -- 5Ls back in 6th at 1000 M, ridden along to remain in touch off last bend, dropped out tamely.
12 6 KOWLOON FIT (CE247) D Whyte -- 4Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at 1100 M, closer on straightening, very disappointing finish and eased late.
