1 9 BULB TREASURE (CH048) W M Lai -- Raced 2Ls back in 2nd at 1300 M, within 1L of the pace from 800 M to home turn, led 250 M out and all out to hold a narrow margin thereafter.
2 3 KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) W C Marwing XB Enjoyed a nice trail in 3rd on the fence through to home straight, loomed upsides winner 150 M out with every chance but could not go past.
3 8 ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) D Whyte -- 4Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at halfway, challenged out 3-wide turning for home, stayed on fairly well but winning post came too soon.
4 1 NEW IDEA (CK007) Y T Cheng B Led by 2Ls on fence at the 1300 M, set steady pace to hold a narrow break from the 800 M, headed at top of home straight, one-paced in response.
5 12 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) C K Tong CP 3-back on fence in 5th or 6th about 4Ls from the lead through to final bend, recovered some late ground but never loomed a genuine threat.
6 5 EVER KING (CE147) D Beadman V/TT Over-raced at the 1000 M around midfield in 2-wide position, 6Ls back in 7th off last curve, retrieved some minor late headway.
7 6 MAGIC TURBO (CJ098) B Doyle SR One from rear or 10th at least 6Ls from the pace until halfway, not suited by slow tempo, 3-wide with cover in places, no impression in final quarter.
8 11 EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) K L Chui B/TT Suited by even tempo in 3rd or 4th initially, under pressure to retain this proximity at the 500 M, surrendered very meekly, poor run.
9 7 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) C W Wong B/TT 4-back on the rails worse than midfield at least 6Ls from the speed through to home straight, not suited by the tempo and no danger.
10 4 CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) B Prebble B/TT Dwelt at the start losing at least 4Ls immediately on main body of field, always rearward behind slow tempo, never landed a blow.
11 10 SIR LAGO (CH268) M L Yeung B Dwelt at the start losing at least 4Ls immediately on main body of field, niggled along at halfway in rear, always at least 6Ls from the front.
12 2 FLORAL PICASSO (CJ225) H W Lai B/TT Over-raced when 3-wide no cover and rearward at least 6Ls from the pace through first half, never likely to figure thereafter. (Tactic questioned.)
