1 14 TREMENDOUS ADD (CL044) Y T Cheng H Even getaway, positioned 3 wide in midfield with cover, never too far away in a compact field, 2Ls back turning, let down nicely from 300 M holding rivals well over the concluding stages.
2 5 NAPA II (CJ248) J Lloyd -- Lobbed box seat 1 out 1 back behind speed, ready to strike on bend, angled out at 350 M and made a strong bid but found winner had more dash final furlong.
3 9 LOCAL POWER (CH296) C W Wong B Lacked early speed as usual, pushed hard to catch up 4-5Ls off the pace, crept closer rounding bend and swung widest for home, ran on down centre of the straight, finished off soundly for 3rd.
4 2 SOARING DRAGON (CH183) D Whyte B/TT Out in line, pressed on but unable to slot in, caught 4 wide without cover 2Ls off speed, worked into it turning and took over at 300 M, lost place last 50 M.
5 4 RIVER CAPTAIN (CL130) O Doleuze B1 No early speed, ended up in rear division, only 3 to 4Ls back in compact field, had most of the field to beat turning and held up at 300 M, came through well when clear.
6 7 RIBOT LEGEND (CK030) G Cheyne -- Bounced out to hold spot on leaders back, had run of race throughout, inside runs opened at 400 M and held up to 300 M, but lacked a turn of foot and just held ground final furlong.
7 11 SUPER GENKI (CH195) S K Sit B/TT Tardy into stride, ridden along for first part to tack onto field 4 to 5Ls down on circle, came wide and made some late progress without threatening.
8 3 MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) C Y Ho B/H Lost considerable ground at start, 5Ls off 2nd last horse early, did work but pace slackened mid-section so eventually tacked on, in traffic in straight and finished OK in circumstances. (See Racing Incidents.)
9 12 BEJEWELED (CH289) D Dunn -- Away only fairly, raced 3Ls away on rails behind the bulk of the field, had something to offer but again never got a clear run in straight and was not fully tested.
10 10 OPEN SESAME (CL091) B Prebble XB/H Out with there, drove through to lead, set terms to suit, stacked field up to 900 M, folded cheaply under pressure final 300 M.
11 13 CLASSA (CK267) H W Lai B Fair to begin, unable to get nearer than 4 wide, did have cover 2 to 3Ls back, got closer under riding turning, weakened out final 300 M.
12 1 ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) W C Marwing SR Showed some speed, couldn't cross and caught 5 wide without cover, did too much despite steady tempo, faded out late.
13 6 SILVER SUN (CE126) M W Leung -- Urged along to share the lead 3-deep without cover, did work and got tired passing 300 M, soon dropped out.
14 8 SUISSE D'OR (CL195) M L Yeung -- Well enough away, went on to sit outside leader, had some attention from outside horses but pace to suit, niggled turning and gave on cheaply.
