1 13 SPECIAL DRAGON (CH325) K L Chui TT Jumped nicely, ridden along to take a forward spot, raced outside leader 1L back, suited when speed slackened, closed at 400 M, gradually overhauled leader inside 250 M and went on to score nicely.
2 14 CRYSTAL (CE209) P H Lo B First to jump, crossed from a wide gate to lead, backed off tempo when passing 500 M, controlled pace well to bend, kicked in straight, overhauled at 200 M but kept on well regardless.
3 8 MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) Z Purton B Well enough away, took spot 2Ls back on fence behind leader, no excuses to bend, no run from top of straight, couldn't sprint when clear last 300 M but did hold ground evenly.
4 9 SUPERNOVA (CJ032) D Whyte SR Began with rest, slotted into running line 4Ls off lead, enjoyed a good run to bend, into clear once they sprinted, couldn't pair back margin but kept coming to make frame.
5 6 ROCKET FORCE (CJ201) W C Marwing B Average jump, took a spot on rails 4Ls back, saved ground throughout, still in behind runners on turning, did best work when clear from 250 M to be nearest on line.
6 2 REAL SPECIAL (CH320) F Coetzee XB Began nicely, ended up in 1 out 1 back spot 2Ls back, raced keenly in mid-section, same margin down on turning, didn't let down at 300 M and just held spot final furlong.
7 3 MOMENTOUS (CJ238) O Doleuze -- No early pace, raced 6 to 7Ls away in 2 wide line, not suited when pace slackened, improved between horses in straight, made some late ground without threatening.
8 11 INFINITE DELIGHT (CG314) M Du Plessis TT Jumped only fairly, assumed a midfield role 5Ls or so away, not used in mid-section, switched out on turning, closed to 200 M but unable to finish off thereafter.
9 7 SUPER CHARGE (CC299) M L Yeung B Began with purpose, pressed on but caught wide when speed steadied, always working 1L back without cover, pushed along at 400 M, gradually faded when hard run took toll.
10 4 THE GOODIES (CH097) C K Tong H/TT Slow into stride as usual, raced at rear 8 to 9Ls back 3 wide with cover, always well back in run and not helped by speed, switched out on turning, made some progress to 300 M but flattened late.
11 5 DASHING THUNDER (CD080) W M Lai CP Moderate jump, raced 6Ls back on fence, unsuited when pace slackened, did have cheap run to bend, no pick up in straight.
12 10 FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) C W Wong CP Began poorly, back with last few 8 or so lengths back, not helped by steady speed, still had job to do turning, made no real impression in straight.
13 12 MY SMARTIE (CJ139) Y T Cheng -- Ordinary beginning, ended up 3 wide 8Ls back, not helped when pace dropped, well down on turning, battled at business end.
14 1 BOUNCER (CJ074) B Prebble TT Allowed to drift back from an awkward alley, posted wide and improved 3 to 4 wide on bend, always working to turn, didn't close off. (Reported not striding out.)
