1 10 SPINNAKER (CK305) D Whyte TT Good pace to cross from wide gate to settle 3rd at 1200m; 2Ls back at 800m and 1L down off last turn; led 250m out; soon in charge; unchallenged.
2 9 FANTASTIC GUY (CH025) B Doyle B Lacked early pace; niggled along in 12th on inside at 1200m; 5Ls back off last bend; stayed on best of the rest but never likely to grab the winner.
3 1 SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) M L Yeung -- Slowly away; on the inner 5Ls off pace at 1000m; 4Ls back in 6th off last bend; kept on okay for a place.
4 7 FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) J Lloyd TT Bumped at start; 8Ls last initially; 5-wide and still in rear turning for home; hung in under pressure; but still kept on past most of the field for 4th.
5 12 SUPER BOBO (CJ116) G Cheyne B/TT Box-seated or 3-back the rails in 5th down the back straight, 3Ls off lead in 4th off last bend; had his chance to place; lacked the turn of foot.
6 2 UPSIDE OF ANGER (CH317) J Victoire H1 3-wide with cover and behind midfield through first half; 5-wide turning in when 7Ls adrift of leaders; one-paced and no threat in the finish.
7 5 WAIT FOR ME (CE332) C W Wong B Went back as usual; 12th at the 800m; still at least 7Ls from the lead taking last bend; never likely to improve better than midfield.
8 11 GREEN GLORY (CJ177) B Prebble B/TT 6Ls behind leaders down back straight; hard ridden to stay this close 700m out; kept on very dourly at the same pace in the straight.
9 3 CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) W Pike -- Quietly ridden; 8Ls last at halfway; similar margin behind turning for home; briefly loomed a place chance at the 200m; run peaked.
10 14 SUPREME DRAGON (CH161) K L Chui B/H Over-raced while 4Ls back in mid-div at 1000m; hard pressed to remain in touch off last bend; steadily faded out of the picture.
11 8 BEST NOODLE (CJ278) M Chadwick TT Pressed on out wide with cover to lead by 1L at 1000m; vied for the lead from 800m to last turn; headed 250m out and swamped late on.
12 4 LUCKYME (CH012) K C Leung CP-/TT Failed to muster customary early pace; 3-wide with cover in midfield 5Ls off pace at halfway; never got any closer than this.
13 6 DR WELL (CD165) C K Tong -- Led early on before handing up the advantage at the 1000m; about a neck back in 2nd from 800m to last turn; soon left behind.
14 13 HIGH NOTE (CK081) S K Sit B/TT- Wide without cover for some of the backstretch; 3Ls back in 4th at halfway and same off last bend; weakened sharply final 200m after extra work.
