1 2 BOUNCER (CJ074) D Beadman B1/TT Began awkwardly, shaken up to hold a position behind midfield 5Ls back, well covered to turn, took time to gather speed on straightening, strong run inside 200 M to take charge close to home.
2 14 TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) M Du Plessis -- Slow to begin, pressed on to take closer order in mid-division, difficult to settle in early stages, made significant progress down the inside of straight to finish a close 2nd.
3 9 CIRCUIT HERO (CG304) C K Tong B/TT Average beginning, parked into a midfield slot about 3Ls off the pace, used little in running, ridden passing 350 M and threatened with a strong run, briefly hit lead 200 M but was caught over the final stages.
4 6 MANY GAINS (CJ051) D Whyte B Good start, taken up a prominent position just 2Ls off leader, tracked well on turn, made steady progress to 100 M, kept on in run to line. Not beaten far.
5 13 STORMIN JOBURG (CJ121) Z Purton -- Away well enough, restrained to travel in mid-division on the rail about 4Ls back, peeled out coming into straight, took time to muster but picked up really well inside 200 M. Good effort.
6 3 CONGRATULATION (CH032) F Coetzee -- Quickly into stride, rolled forward to take up running passing 1200 M under a steady tempo, had 1L advantage turning in, kept on well to 150 M, gradually weakened towards the line.
7 8 CHINA HERO (CH040) G Mosse B- Broke well from the inside draw, settled 2-back on fence, travelled comfortably throughout, ran into traffic and didn't have a clear run in straight. Not fully tested.
8 12 SOHNA (CG183) K C Leung B Awkwardly away, travelled in rear as expected trailing 8Ls behind leader, saved ground on the rail but unable to improve behind horses in straight, ran on well once into clear 150 M.
9 11 DANABAA (CH007) W C Marwing TT Fast away, taken forward to race prominently behind leader under a steady tempo, unable to go on under pressure, checked 200 M out, ran home one-paced thereafter.
10 7 CHIRAC (CJ234) B Prebble H1 Taken back on jumping, restrained to race in the rear 7Ls back, had plenty to do turning in, switched to challenge down the outside but didn't pick up. No impression.
11 5 WINE WIN (CG018) M L Yeung -- Rolled forward as expected, travelled one-out-one-back from leader under a steady tempo, had every change but unable to sprint with them under pressure, dropped off quickly inside 200 M.
12 4 VICTORY STYLE (CG120) W M Lai -- Away with them, settled towards the rear in a 3-wide position, 6Ls to make up turning in, didn't response and struggled in run to line. (Mucus.)
13 10 DEERFIELD (CG038) H W Lai B Ordinary break, travelled wide and without cover in mid-division, dropped off quickly turning in and was beaten a long way.
