1 2 OPERATION SECRET (CH081) Z Purton CP Little early pace, ended up midfield or worse 5Ls from lead, had good run and all favours to bend, improved into clear on turning and closed best down middle to score.
2 5 IRISH JIG (CJ125) D Beadman TT Out smartly, slotted into 1 out 1 back spot, no excuses thereafter, peeled out to challenge turning and in mix length of straight but just overhauled final 50 M.
3 1 EXCELLENT BOY (CE238) M L Yeung P Drifted back to race 6Ls or so away at rear, used little in run, improved wide on bend, made plenty of late ground down middle to be nearest on line.
4 3 REALLY HAPPY (CJ165) M Chadwick TT Failed to muster, raced well back 6Ls away on rails, had a cheap run throughout, still plenty to go, last on turning, got run between horses and closed hard to make frame.
5 12 VIVA FIGHTER (CG307) C W Wong PC/TT Reasonable break, pushed on to race outside leader, used a bit to be there, prominent throughout took over turning and stuck on bravely before overhauled inside 150 M.
6 4 INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) O Doleuze TT Fair getaway, shuffled back early and posted 3 wide in midfield, raced 3 wide with cover 4Ls back, ridden along turning, stuck on to 100 M.
7 7 FLUKE (CJ061) T H So -- Moderate jump, posted 4 wide without cover 5Ls or so back, set too much to do throughout, improved on bend, tried final 150 M when hard run took toll.
8 8 LAMBRO (CH083) D Whyte B/TT Began well, pushed on and eventually took up lead, used a bit to be there, led to bend, not much left when asked turning and gradually weakened.
9 11 TAN TAT BABY (CH315) C K Tong -- Bounced out, took lead easily, gave up front passing 1000 M, had an easy time thereafter, lacked needed response turning and dropped out easily.
10 9 PLAN EX (CJ200) Y T Cheng B Well enough to begin, ended up 4Ls back on rails, every hope in run, didn't produce usual finish. (Bled.)
11 10 CONGRATS (CG298) W M Lai TT Amongst leading group early but unable to slot in and posted 3 wide without covering, used too much in mid-section, weakened out.
12 6 STREET CAT (CK037) G Cheyne B/TT Average jump, taken to rear, raced 6 to 7Ls back, lost action at midpoint, wide and never comfortable thereafter, eased down.
