1 12 MY MATE ADRIC (CL004) H W Lai H-/CO1 Began awkwardly, guided to the fence under positive riding, 4Ls off the pace rounding the home turn, accelerated to the lead 150 M, strode clear and never challenged to the line.
2 8 HO WONGCHOY (CK275) D Whyte CP From wide draw slotted into a 2-wide position in midfield under good handling, asked for effort 400 M, responded well and had every chance but not matched with winner's pace.
3 2 KYARA (CL423) B Doyle SR/H/TT Unhurried in early and middle stages and placed last in a fast run race, switched to widest of straight, ran on strongly to finish nearest on the line.
4 1 OTTIMO (CK238) Y T Cheng -- Slow to muster speed early, raced in a 2-wide spot towards the rear, 6Ls to make up turning for home, ran on without reaching the first three.
5 9 KICK SERVE (CL385) J Lloyd H Switched off to the rear after the start and was 8 to 9Ls behind leader in a strongly run race, made steady headway final 250 M.
6 11 VIVA GUY (CK318) T H So B Slow to begin, travelled behind midfield 6Ls off the pace, had no clear run along the inside in early straight, ran on fairly final 200 M.
7 4 PROJECT RUNWAY (CL302) M Chadwick B Sped to the lead and set a fast tempo, opened up a 3Ls margin in mid stages, headed nearing 150 M, no extra. (Jockey was told his ride lacked the appropriate level of judgement.)
8 5 GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) M Guyon XB Sat in 2nd 3Ls behind the breakaway leader, inclined to lay out during the race, kept on at the same pace turning in, weakened inside 150 M.
9 10 QUANTUM EXPRESS (CK166) Z Purton H/TT Raced in the 2-path not far off from the runaway leader, driven out nearing 400 M but didn't respond, dropped out rapidly final 100 M.
10 3 O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) G Mosse B1/TT Caught 3-wide behind midfield and about 5 to 6Ls off the pace in mid stages, left with no cover from 700 M, found very little under pressure over the home turn, eased halfway up the straight.
11 7 STAR OF FAME (CH043) O Doleuze B/TT Reserved near the rear, moved to the 3-path near 1200 M, 6Ls down leaving the home bend, not quickened.
12 6 MY GOAL (CJ131) K C Leung B/TT Caught 3-wide no cover until 700 M then strode forward to press the leader, hung in badly shortly after straightening, soon eased. (Unacceptable Performance.)
