1 11 VAUGIRARD (CK347) B Prebble B Bounced out, ended up behind leaders 3Ls down on settling, used little in run and travelled strongly to bend, gained a split at 300 M and sprinted quickly, driven away to win easily.
2 1 LITTLE DREAMS (L095) K C Leung XB/TT Reasonable jump, positioned behind lead group 4Ls off top end, had an easy time to bend, shifted out passing 300 M, chased gamely but no match for winner.
3 4 ALMIGHTY WINDPOWER (L272) M Du Plessis -- Away fairly, just behind midfield 5Ls or so, soft run in middle stages, kept to inside and closed gradually for a distant 3rd.
4 6 OLE OLE (CK301) M L Yeung -- Began well enough, angled across into midfield 4 to 5Ls back in running line, close enough on turning, didn't dash but closed evenly to make frame.
5 7 DOUBLE LUCK (CH239) H W Lai -- Settled just behind speed 4Ls from lead, enjoyed a cosy trail to bend, improved and loomed briefly at 300 M, didn't see out trip.
6 13 BOUNCER (CJ074) C K Tong SR/TT No early pace, ended up back with last few, 7 to 8Ls off top end in middle stages, saved ground on circle, closed best of rest and was nearest on line despite traffic at 200 M.
7 14 ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) G Cheyne SR Began OK but did some early work to end up outside leader from outside draw, even trip thereafter, niggled turning, flat final 300 M.
8 5 GREEN SUPREME (L329) M Chadwick TT1 Out in line, assumed a midfield position 6Ls back, fair run to turn, responded fairly to riding but peaked inside 300 M.
9 2 BEST FRIEND (CH240) J Lloyd B-/H1 Faded back to last 10Ls from lead, on rails throughout with field to beat turning, only managed to pass tired runners in straight.
10 10 JOLLY GOOD (L134) O Doleuze SR/TT1 Lacked pace as usual, shared rear 9 to 10Ls from leaders, plenty to do turning, didn't show usual finish and plugged away in straight.
11 3 NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) B Doyle B Ended up in rear division best part of 8Ls off lead, well back to turn, didn't produce a finish and struggled in straight.
12 8 BILLION (CH316) Y T Cheng -- Began well, led but eventually let outside horse take over, came 2 wide on circle to sit out leaders girth, not far away turning for home, didn't find much and folded tamely.
13 12 PACKING BUDDY (CK264) T H So V Showed speed to eventually work to lead, held a 1/2L advantage thereafter, challenged turning in and quickly gave in, dropped right out.
