1 5 MY SMARTIE (CJ139) Z Purton -- Out with rest, caught wide and pressed on to take lead, set a slow tempo in front with heavy going, worried by outside horse throughout, held a narrow break turning, defied rivals to score a cosy victory.
2 4 LUFENG FORTUNE (CJ140) M Du Plessis B Broke fairly, ended up taking a spot 3Ls back on fence, overraced with slow speed, improved through gap on poorer ground turning, made good headway in straight to hit lead but had to settle for 2nd inside 100 M.
3 7 BIG WINNER AGAIN (CJ170) K T Yeung TT Began well, prominent early before taking 1 out 1 back spot, had ideal run in mid-section with slow pace, stuck on nicely to hold 3rd.
4 9 BIG PROFIT (CJ169) M Nunes -- Reasonable break, raced 3 wide behind first few with cover 2Ls away, covered ground to 400 M, kept coming in straight to be not far away in finish.
5 10 GALAXEE (CJ182) K L Chui -- No early speed, ended up 5Ls away on rails, pace against in mid-section, used little to bend, pushed along turning, closed best of rest to be nearest on line.

7 2 CLASSIC ENERGY (CJ143) C K Tong TT1 Out in line, restrained for a midfield trail 2 to 3Ls back, reasonable run to bend, closed off fairly in straight making some ground without really threatening.
8 8 SEIZE THE DAY (CJ152) S K Sit -- First to hit ground, pushed on to race outside leader, shaded inside horse throughout, still there challenging on turning, there to 300 M but couldn't find extra gear to factor.
