1 6 MASTER TOWER (CK012) H W Lai -- Led on the rails by 1L at the 1000 M, still in front and going well entering straight, kept up to his work to score readily.
2 4 NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) O Doleuze CP 3Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at 1000 M, soon niggled along but responded to pressure even if he could only reach winner's hindquarters.
3 1 GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) D Whyte CP Best away, midfield with cover 4Ls off speed until final turn, briefly threatened to win 300 M out, one-paced in 3rd inside final 200 M.
4 7 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) Z Purton -- Taken back as usual, 8Ls last at the 1000 M and still in rear turning for home, ran on past spent forces in the straight for a never-nearer 4th.
5 14 CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) C K Tong B/TT Slightly worse than midfield 4Ls or 5Ls off speed through to final turn, recovered minor late ground for 5th but no real danger overall.
6 10 LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) K L Chui B/TT 3-wide with cover in midfield 5Ls off pace down back straight, pressured to stay even this close off final bend, tepid conclusion.
7 5 MYTHIC STEED (CD208) P H Lo PC2 Pressed forward from widest gate to dispute early pace, 1L back in 2nd at the 1000 M, hard at work to stay in touch off last turn, faded.
8 3 MEDALLION (CG322) K T Yeung B/TT Box-seated on the rails 2Ls off pace initially, hard pressed to stay in touch taking last turn, weak finish especially given the soft run.
9 2 STORM'S DESTINY (CJ260) M L Yeung CP-/B1 Slow out, 6Ls back in 12th at halfway, struck heels and lost ground 500 M out, always well held.
10 12 TALE OF FRIENDSHIP (CH184) M Du Plessis B/SR Always rearward and pressured, unbalanced hitting the rail 1100 M out, no room and steadied 200 M out, never a genuine threat.
11 11 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) J Winks B2 4-back on the rails at least 5Ls from the speed throughout, never on terms.
12 13 TRIUMPHANT GLORY (CB368) J Lloyd B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
13 9 BAUHINIA (CD118) M W Leung PC 3-wide no cover at halfway when over 2Ls off pace, weakened in the home straight after the extra work, eased final 100 M.
14 8 EPEE DE HUA (CJ307) W M Lai B/TT Very wide and without cover throughout, had little hope given his limitations after the tough passage, eased final 200 M.
