1 1 SUNNY KING (CH105) G Mosse H Positioned behind midfield from an awkward draw, 3 wide with cover, pace to suit to turn, chased hard final 300M and came up with goods close to line.
2 12 SPARKLING POWER (CL257) M Guyon XB Taken back from a wide alley, raced 3 wide at rear nearly 10ls off lead, had pace to suit in mid section, came widest and produced a strong close to go down narrowly.
3 6 CALIFORNIA MEMORY (CL135) M Chadwick -- Even jump, settled behind midfield 7-8ls back, fair run with speed to suit, angled out at 400m, made a strong bid but outlasted final 50M. Good effort nonetheless.
4 7 HIGH POINT (CH215) B Prebble CP Showed usual speed, unable to slot in and caught 3 wide without cover, 3ls or so away, crept closer on circle, challenged strongly at 300M, hard run took toll last 150M.
5 3 AASHIQ (CK175) J Lloyd -- Prominent was usual, raced first outside leader without cover, did some work with decent speed on, took over passing 400M, in mix to 200M before tiring late.
6 8 FINAL ANSWER (CL178) D Beadman XB/H/TT Showed speed, took and ideal spot behind speed, over-raced in mid section, right there turning and took inside runs in straight, peaked at 200M.
7 10 SOARING DRAGON (CH183) K C Leung B/TT Out in line, wide early before dropping into midfield, 5Ls back to turn, improved at 400M but bumped at 300M, didn’t go on final furlong.
8 11 FLEET COMMAND (CK077) W C Marwing SR Tardy into stride, settled best part of 10ls back on rails, well back and held up turning, received a bad check at 350M, no real impact when clear thereafter.
9 13 YOU GOTTA PAY (CK350) D Whyte -- Even break, raced 4ls or so back on rails in midfield, easy time throughout, not much room for most of straight and was never really tested.
10 5 AMIGO (CK358) O Doleuze B-/H2 Faded back from an awkward draw, best part of 10ls away in two wide line, still plenty to do turning, made minimal impression.
11 9 LONDON CHINA TOWN (CL236) Z Purton -- Ok to break, nicely positioned 1 out 1 back, had good run to turn, unable to get into clear at 350M and inconvenienced, didn’t offer much from 250m when running presented.
12 14 APPRECIATION (CK161) M L Yeung V/TT No speed and allowed to settle at rear, raced on rails 12ls back, still well back to turn, made no impact in straight.
13 4 OUR LUCKY BABY (CH187) Y T Cheng CP-/B1/TT Showed customary speed, set a strong tempo 2-3ls clear, led to turn, soon capitulated when found trip too testing.
