1 3 DR WIN (L203) D Whyte -- Pressed early. Got the fence and led home turn. Challenged throughout the straight but hung on well for victory.
2 2 WIND DAMPER (CK320) M L Yeung -- Hard ridden early from high draw. Sat one-off the fence behind leader home turn. Battled gamely with the winner until fended off closing stages. Barely hung on to deny the strong finishing 3rd placegetter at the post.
3 4 FUN HEROES (L207) J Lloyd SR1/TT Eased to rear from high draw. 8Ls away rounding the turn. Switched widest for clear run passing 400M. Dashed home impressively to nearly snatch 2nd.
4 11 SOHNA (CG183) A Suborics B/TT Urged along the fence to sit midfield. Moved closer to race 2-wide behind leading section turning into home. Launched attack passing 300M. Matched strides with the front pair but couldn't catch them. Lost 3rd close home.
5 1 EURO POWER (L188) K C Leung -- Dropped 3-wide towards rear from wide barrier. Similar position near the fence and was 7Ls down leaving the bend. Shifted out for clear run passing 400M. Ran on well to cover good ground.
6 7 HOT ASSET (L060) W C Marwing TT Raced 2-wide behind midfield early. Hampered and was taken 4-wide near 700M. One-paced to conclude.
7 12 SUPER GALILEO (L061) Y T Cheng -- Niggled early but could only stay towards rear on fence through to home straight. Kept on to make up some late ground.
8 13 SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) K W Leung B/SR Jumped well but insufficient speed to lead. Urged along to stay 3-wide behind midfield passing 1100M. Improved wide and without cover from 700M. Failed to sustain its run home straight.
9 8 YUAN'S FORTUNE (L021) B Prebble B1 Shaken up early to maintain 2-wide near the pace. Driven to race with leaders turning in. Looked dangerous top of home straight but peaked final furlong.
10 5 GLOBAL RULER (L148) G Mosse B1 Travelled wide behind midfield throughout. Finished off fairly.
11 14 TOUCH LUCKY (CH193) M W Leung B/XB/TT Raced 2-wide towards rear through to home turn. Came close to heels and was steadied near home straight. Past beaten rivals thereafter.
12 6 GREAT FANTASY (L069) C K Tong -- Prominent spot through to home straight. Found nothing when asked and was swamped inside 400M.
13 10 SONOFTHEWEST (L063) O Doleuze B1/TT Out nicely but couldn't work across. Elected to stay 3-wide ahead of midfield until dropped out after straightening.
14 9 SOLAR BOY (L213) H W Lai -- Raced 2-wide behind midfield early. Shuffled to midfield at bend. Plodded on home.
