1 14 BRAVE KID (CK391) D Whyte -- Caught wide in midfield throughout, hampered and pushed wider near 450M, began to hit top gear halfway up the straight, led 150M from home and held on.
2 2 FLYING IN (CK120) G Mosse B1 Along the fence in the chasing group behind leaders, swiftly moved to the front in straight and looked a big danger until challenged by the winner inside 150M, rallied on and only went down by a narrow margin.
3 5 CLASSA (CK267) H W Lai B Switched off the back from the outset and was way off the pace in early stages, responded to pressure in straight and got motoring final 200M to come within half a length of the winner.
4 4 MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) D Beadman SR/XB Settled behind mid-division and swung wide into straight, stayed on down the outside but lacked the extra gear to challenge the first three.
5 7 JUN DAO (CL110) B Prebble -- Held up behind midfield but not far off from leaders, shifted out to a clear path inside 350M, ran on well for some distance before hitting a flat spot in late stages.
6 1 GREAT HEART (CK219) M Chadwick B/TT Held inside running in midfield, briefly threatened with a promising looking run inside 300M but could find no extra in the closing stages.
7 10 AMNESTY (CK051) W M Lai B/XB/TT Settled 2-wide in midfield, made a mild rally down the inside under a strong drive but couldn't reach the leaders.
8 11 CHINA WIN (CJ147) K W Leung B Checked at the start and lost ground, ended up in last pair 8-9Ls behind leaders, trapped on the inside in straight and lacked racing room to 100M, eased late on.
9 12 KING AL AKBAR (CK381) M L Yeung TT1 Broke well and took up a 2-wide position ahead of midfield, badly blundered and shifted out abruptly near 450M, recovered but could only finish off the race at the same pace.
10 13 ALL TIME HIGH (CG285) K L Chui B/XB/TT Vied for lead with two other runners, took a 1L lead inside 400M but was soon headed, weakened badly in late stages.
11 3 INVINCIBLE HEART (CL071) A Gryder TT1 Chased leaders in 4th, moved into a striking position approaching the top of the straight but was unable to quicken once coming under pressure, faded away 200m out.
12 9 ROYAL KNIGHT (CL094) J Victoire TT1 Awkwardly away, behind midfield 7Ls away from the strong early pace, taken wide to make his move but lacked the needed response. Never a factor.
13 6 DREAM HORSE (CG029) M W Leung H/TT Pressed on early and vied for lead on the inside, soon outpaced turning for home, eased when no chance passing 200 M.
14 8 CASH MONEY (CH030) C W Wong B/H Driven out to press the lead on the outside of three, weakened going into straight, soon behind.
