1 12 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) W M Lai B Away well, ceded lead to box-seat in 3rd about 2Ls from pace from 1200 M to home turn, picked up well to lead 150 M out for comfortable win.
2 3 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) Z Purton B Did well to slot into 2-wide position in 4th at 1200 M despite wide gate, close-up until home turn, had his chance but out-sprinted by the winner.
3 10 KEY WINNER (CG157) K L Chui B2/TT 4-back on fence in 7th about 6Ls from the speed at 1000 M, held up briefly at top of home straight, made some fair late ground to place.
4 11 KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) P H Lo B 8Ls back in 9th at the HKFC and 7Ls down in 10th swinging for home, eye-catching late ground to snatch 4th.
5 5 SWEET BABY (CG294) W C Marwing B 4Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at 1100 M, under pressure and unbalanced at 500 M, 2Ls back in 5th at 200 M but no further progress.
6 1 LUCKY MONEY (CE159) Y T Cheng -- Crossed from widest gate to race 1L back in 2nd out 2-wide at 1200 M, half a length back off final turn, little response to pressure and weak final 100 M.
7 9 TRIUMPH (CC214) C W Wong V 3-back on fence and 4Ls off pace at in 5th from 1100 M to home turn, never likely to fight for the lead and one-paced final furlong.
8 4 CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) H W Lai TT Led by 1L on the rails at 1200 M and held a lesser break off last bend, all out when headed by winner 150 M out and swamped nearer the line.
9 2 BRILLIANT FLASH (CE042) O Doleuze B Slow and squeezed out at start, 8Ls or 9Ls last until straightening for home out widest of all, never likely.
10 8 KING OF SHAVER (CH041) M Du Plessis B 7Ls behind the speed in 8th out 2-wide at 1000 M, keen in places, under pressure on the circle and wilted steadily from top of home straight.
11 6 PERFECT MATCH (CJ072) D Whyte -- On fence 8Ls back in 8th initially, tapped for toe 600 M out, making back minor late ground when tight for room and not ridden out final 100 M.
12 7 CRUSH ON YOU (CH065) B Prebble B Very flat performance, slowly away, 9Ls back in 10th at 1000 M and still well adrift turning in, found nothing off the bit.
