1 11 SUPERNOVA (CJ032) M Chadwick SR Settled just better than midfield mainly 2-wide in 5th, carried wider turning for home, fought on well to gain upper hand narrowly.
2 8 CHAMPION LAD (CH042) D Beadman XB/TT Settled in forward of midfield on rails, switched out for a run turning for home, ran on gamely under pressure alongside eventual winner to just fail to peg him back.
3 10 YUE LU TREASURE (CJ184) B Prebble CP Settled in midfield, switched out wide for a run when straightening, soon came to challenge under pressure, tended to hang in early on before responding well inside final 200 M, did best work late.
4 1 BILLION (CH316) K C Leung -- Close up, tracked leader down far side, quickened to take up running coming out, held over 1L advantage turning in, unable to sustain effort and overhauled inside final 200 M.
5 2 GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) Y T Cheng B Quickly ridden to cross to front, held narrow advantage until headed coming out of back straight, plugged on under pressure from 2nd turning in but swamped inside final 200 M.
6 3 LOCAL POWER (CH296) C W Wong -- Began from a high draw, soon crossed for inside run but had to settle for 4th one-out-one-back, similar turning for home, finished off race okay. (Jockey warned for looking around in straight.)
7 12 AMAZING VENTURE (CJ039) J Lloyd -- Soon taken back to midfield from the one draw, cropped a check and lost position approaching 1000 M bend, just worse than midfield turning in, saved ground on rails making home turn, kept on well under hands and heels in tight run.
8 5 MACHO EXPRESSO (CH261) T H So B Broke well from the two draw, settled just off the pace in 3rd on rails, came under pressure turning in a 4L 4th, kept on one pace before fading inside final 200 M.
9 6 KENOBE (CH222) Z Purton XB Settled well back, trailed the field to 400 M, kept on steadily without quickening.
10 4 CLASSA (CK267) H W Lai -- Settled just worse than midfield, remained similar turning in, kept on steadily without quickening.
11 9 NORDIC STAR (CH302) D Whyte TT Soon settled in last few from a wide barrier, went the widest runner turning into straight, made no impression.
