1 3 WIN A DOZEN (CH262) G Mosse TT Began well. Cut to the fence and led from 1300 M. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Seriously challenged final furlong but battled determinedly to get up on line.
2 5 SOLDIER (CK346) B Prebble B Prominent position to home straight. Loomed as a strong chance final furlong. Just denied at post.
3 4 WIN-A-LOT (CJ124) M Guyon -- Midfield on fence to home straight. Picked up well when ridden but couldn’t quite catch the front pair.
4 9 CLASSA (CK267) C Y Ho CP 2-wide at midfield early. Dropped behind midfield approaching the Rock. Took some time to get clear run passing 300 M. Found the line fairly well once clear.
5 11 MY WAY (CJ203) N Callan V-/B2 2-wide towards rear. Hard ridden home turn and was 6Ls down leaving the bend. Closed off strongly and was nearest at finish.
6 8 KING ON EARTH (CL251) J Lloyd SR Moderate start and was trapped wide. Taken to 3-wide at rear first turn. Some improvement at the Rock and made run wide passing 400 M. Covered decent ground late.
7 2 JOLLY WONGCHOY (CH076) D Whyte TT Shaken up early and parked one-off behind leader from 1300 M. Well positioned to strike in the straight but couldn't turn up a notch. Weakened final stages.
8 1 STEEL NERVES (CG320) C K Tong B Dropped to 2-wide at rear after start. Last into final stretch. Beat tired runners home.
9 10 FULL STAR (CL031) M L Yeung H1 Slow to begin and raced behind midfield on fence. No real progress in the straight.
10 6 SUPER GURU (CL005) K C Leung B Away in line. Rolled to 2-wide ahead of midfield from first turn. Found nothing when asked in the straight. Faded final stages.
11 7 MASTER DREAMER (CE293) W M Lai B Travelled wide and without cover at midfield until middle stages. Very little impression thereafter.
12 12 NICKU (CK389) Z Purton TT Began awkwardly. Niggled along but couldn't cross. Trapped wide and without cover towards rear first turn. Improved wide to race ahead of midfield approaching home turn. Beaten soon after straightening.
