1 7 JUST FANTASTIC (L291) K C Ng H Showed plenty of speed to take up running, rolled along at a pace to suit, skipped clear turning under light weight, kept on comfortably to score a handy win.
2 8 STRAIGHT FORWARD (L100) B Prebble CP/TT Drifted back to settled near to last on rails, 7-8Ls back in run, saved ground to bend, angled clear at 300m and closed well making good ground final furlong.
3 13 ST DIDAR (L115) G Cheyne B/TT Closer than usual racing first behind leader on rails, all favours in run, forced to chase leader from bend, stayed on well for 3rd.
4 11 ENDLESS LUCK (CK033) T H So B/TT Settled well back 6-7Ls away just off midfield, lost position in traffic approaching turn, switched back to inside and made gradual headway despite not clearest run.
5 10 KYARA (L423) D Whyte H/XB Began with them, pressed on but posted 3 wide without cover, 2ls or so off lead, did work wide in mid section, couldn't sustain effort and dropped off in straight.
6 9 EMPEROR CLAUDIUS (M128) W M Lai XB/B1 Well enough away, assumed box seat 1 out 1 back, all favours to bend, niggled along turning and only produced a 1 paced finish.
7 5 KING AL AKBAR (CK381) O Doleuze H/XB/TT Went forward to take closer order and raced first outside leader, even run in middle stages, struggling turning and faded out badly final furlong.
8 2 FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) Z Purton -- Drifted back as usual, 8ls or so away early, made a 3 wide run leaving bend, made only minor ground in straight.
9 1 BLUE SKY (CJ289) C Y Ho PC2/H Posted wide in behind midfield from an awkward draw, 6Ls or so back, improved mid section, no extra from bend and dropped out in straight.
10 4 FORTUNE RED PEPPER (CK199) J Lloyd -- Standard getaway, angled into spot behind midfield, 6-7Ls back and further behind on bend when tempo increased, just battled away in straight.
11 14 MR BOND (M098) H W Lai -- Even getaway, positioned in midfield 4Ls back in two wide line, struggled in mid section, folded tamely from bend to be beaten a long way.
12 3 MIGHTY SUN (CK058) Y T Cheng B Didn't muster and take up a prominent spot as expected, raced 4 wide with cover in midfield, 5ls of more back to bend, unable to close off after hard run.
13 12 OLE OLE (CK301) M L Yeung TT Reasonable break, sat 3Ls or so away on rails, ok run before severely checked at 600m, never factored thereafter.
14 6 PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) M Chadwick TT Failed to muster and trapped 4 wide without cover, 3Ls or so back, worked too hard in mid section, dropped off before bend.
