1 5 EL MORRO (CK344) D Whyte B-/H Soon in the front rank near the stands' rail. Briefly challenged passing 400M but was always on top. Kicked clear final 150M and drew away for a commanding victory.
2 9 CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) W Pike CP1/TT Raced within 3Ls of the pace towards the stands' rail. Made a strong run from 400M. No hope with the winner but did the best of the rest to land 2nd closing stages.
3 4 DIAMOND BRILLIANCE (CH002) A Suborics TT Travelled with front runners. Pressured from 450M. Failed to withstand the finishing effort of the front pair but kept giving to snatch 3rd at the post.
4 6 HOLEY DOLLAR (CK118) D Beadman H/XB2 Sat behind the pace on stands' side early. Moved up to race with leaders passing 700M. Fought with the winner from 400M but was firmly put aside final furlong. Barely clung on to make frame.
5 2 WINE WIN (CG018) K C Leung B Never far off the pace near the centre of the track. Hard ridden from 400M and responded fairly well. Battled for 3rd with two other runners closing stages and was just denied at finish.
6 7 GRAND STORE (CH087) K W Leung -- Raced within 3Ls of the speed through to mid-point. Found nothing under pressure passing 400M.
7 1 BUNDLE O' GOLD (CJ311) B Prebble -- Quickly into stride. Rolled to the stands' rail and took lead from 700M. Dropped out 300M from home.
8 3 CHEERFUL DELIGHTS (L184) T H So B1 Never better than midfield. Not likely.
9 8 PANTHER RUN (L140) H W Lai -- Failed to muster and was detached until final furlong. Made up decent ground thereafter to beat tired runners.
10 10 POLYGOLD (CK309) K L Chui -- Towards rear down the centre of the track. Struggled from mid-point.
11 11 SPECIAL DRAGON (CH325) M Chadwick TT Always at rear. Never in the hunt.
