1 1 TOY STORY (CJ217) Z Purton SR/TT Enjoyed the box seat position. Railed up turning for home and was never headed after hitting the lead approaching the furlong.
2 9 HOME WITH GLORY (CL171) B Doyle CP Wasn't the best to begin but showed good speed to park midfield, 2 deep with cover. Travelled nicely in the run and in the straight closed off strongly.
3 6 WIN A DOZEN (CH262) K C Leung TT Shared front running duties along the fence. Pinched a break entering the final bend, but was collared over the concluding stages.
4 11 LOTUS LOVE (CL155) M Du Plessis -- Always niggled throughout the mid section to maintain a midfield spot along the rail. Didn't show much dash after the 400 M, but commenced to work home well once properly balanced in the straight.
5 2 ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) D Whyte B/TT Was taken across behind runners from the outside gate to travel behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Made steady ground down the running.
6 10 LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) C W Wong B Taken back from a wide alley and settled with the backmakers, 2-wide with cover. Closed off soundly.
7 3 BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) J Lloyd CP/XB Was part of the front running duo, 1 off. Lead by a narrow margin at times, maintained a fair gallop in the home straight.
8 12 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) S K Sit B/TT Travelled at the rear of the field, 3-wide with cover. Came wide in the straight but only plugged to the line.
9 5 BLADE FORCE (CK330) M Chadwick B/TT Worked forward to race prominently, but was posted 3-wide without cover. Drifted back on the final circle, never likely.
10 4 WARM EMBRACES (CJ162) B Prebble B Began poorly, settling with the rear division along the fence. Failed to find any extra in the run home.
11 7 GREAT FANTASY (CL069) K W Leung B Began awkwardly settling midfield, 3-wide with cover. Made no impression in the final stretch.
12 8 HUA SHI (CK324) G Cheyne H-/B1 Settled 1 out 1 back. Kept to the inside in the home straight but only struggled.
