1 10 KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) Z Purton XB 2-wide and 5Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, closer and going well turning for home, led 200 M out and all out to just cling on.
2 4 QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) B Doyle B Went back as usual, 9Ls back in 9th at 1000 M, 4-wide (widest) off last turn when 5Ls back in 9th, ran on very strongly, only just denied the win.
3 1 CLASSIC REUNION (CH166) K T Yeung B/SR Didn't break well, on fence 9Ls back in 10th at 1000 M, niggled along at 600 M, picked up very well through the field to nick 3rd close home.
4 7 SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) D Whyte -- 2-wide and 7Ls in 7th at 1000 M, 6th and 4Ls back making final bend, ran on okay to wrap up but had his chance to place.
5 8 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) W M Lai B 3-back along the rails in 4th or 5th through to home straight when 3Ls down, one-paced to conclude.
6 12 AMAZING ME (CH080) J Victoire XB/TT Lost ground at the start, 12Ls last at the 1000 M, 7Ls last off final corner, stayed on well down the centre, closest at the line.
7 5 FRIENDSHIP (CE066) K C Leung -- Nicely placed in 'one-out-one-back' position in 3rd through to final quarter when niggled along, steadily faded out of the picture.
7 11 BOBO WIN (CC238) Y T Cheng V/TT No match for CLASSA SUPREME in front early, held 2nd from 1100 M to home turn, still only a neck down at 200 M, very weak closing stages.
9 9 FLORAL IMAGE (CK027) M Du Plessis TT 3-back on rails in 6th about 5Ls from pace at 600 M, closer turning in, couldn't find much room on rails until 100 M out when his chance had gone. (Questioned.)
10 2 KOWLOON FIT (CE247) E Saint-Martin -- Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout, 7Ls back in 8th at 1000 M and 4Ls behind off last turn, extra work told inside final furlong.
11 3 MULTI MILLIONS (CD207) B Prebble SR-/B2 Swerved left at start, always one from the rear, 10Ls behind at 1000 M, always chasing the majority of the field, no danger.
12 6 CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) H W Lai TT Hared to the front as usual, 3Ls clear 800 M out, 1L to the good at final bend, headed 200 M out, slipped rapidly through the field when beaten. (Questioned for poor performance.)
