1 6 CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) W C Marwing B/TT Didn't break well as usual, one from rear initially, 8Ls back at halfway, quickened up well in the straight to lead 50 M out.
2 2 REGENCY KINGDOM (CK031) B Prebble TT Midfield with cover 5Ls off pace at 1200 M, moved up just before final turn to lead 250 M out, no extra when grabbed by winner final 50 M.
3 11 BOBO WIN (CC238) M W Leung H/TT Slowest out and soon 10Ls last, still 6Ls down turning for home, stayed on strongly late for 3rd.
4 5 LEO'S PRIDE (CK094) Y T Cheng B1 Enjoyed a soft trail in 4th on fence through to the last turn, entitled to hold down 4th given the cheap run but an improved run nonetheless.
5 10 SURE GOOD (CJ240) K C Leung B/TT Opted to race 4Ls off speed in midfield at 1000 M, closer and with place prospects off last turn and at 200 M, lacked a decisive turn of foot.
6 7 ZEPHYRUS (CH285) G Cheyne B/TT 6Ls behind early speed in 9th, 4Ls adrift on straightening, never really troubled the principals.
7 8 SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) D Whyte B Raced in 10th initially at least 6Ls from leader, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, briefly loomed a place chance, run peaked.
8 9 JOLLY WONGCHOY (CH076) Z Purton TT Caught 3-wide no cover 1300 M out, pressed on to track pacesetter and briefly led off last bend, headed soon after and faded out of picture.
9 12 CLOVIS (CH044) W Pike -- 3-wide no cover throughout, 3Ls back in 5th at halfway and 1L down in 3rd off final curve, one-paced thereafter.
10 1 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) J Winks V Midfield 3-back the rails, 5Ls off pace at halfway and closer turning in, didn't have much room at top of straight but held in any case.
11 4 DR WELL (CD165) T H So -- Didn't lead on this occasion, 'one-out-one-back' in 4th at 1200 M, ridden along to maintain this proximity turning in, soon beaten. (Tactic questioned.)
12 3 KARBRIDGE (CK251) G Mosse B1 Led by 1L on fence at the 1200 M, set a decent pace and headed on straightening for home, dropped out.
