1 11 MI SAVVY (N138) O Doleuze SR Began awkwardly, had an ideal trip just in behind the pacesetters, driven passing 400M, kept on best of all to wear down the leaders nearing 50M.
2 4 BULLISH KING (CL304) T Clark B/TT Soon led, crossed to race along stands' rail and set a good pace throughout, pressed on 350M, kept on well, headed 50M out but managed to hold on for 2nd.
3 10 LUCKY RECORD (CL429) A Suborics XB/B1/TT Never far off the pace, headway passing 500M, loomed behind leader inside 400M, ran on steadily.
4 2 GIFT IS GIFT (M053) M L Yeung B Prominent, kept on nicely inside 400M to chase leader, slightly outpaced final 100M but finished well clear of the rest.
5 14 NOBODY BUT YOU (M202) W M Lai -- Held up midfield, driven along halfway but never going the pace to challenge first four.
6 7 STRATHTAY (N235) D Whyte SR1 Difficult to load, held up in mid-pack towards the stands' side, one paced throughout and no impression on first four.
7 9 HIGHLAND DRAGON (N265) U Rispoli XB1 Showed good early pace, switched towards the stands' side and tracked leader prominently, travelled well enough but found little off the bridle inside 400M, faded away final 150M.
8 1 FIRST IN COMMAND (CL085) J Lloyd H/TT Dropped in behind midfield, outpaced nearing halfway and soon driven along, made limited progress final 300M.
9 8 GLORY HORSIE (M273) T Angland B Close up and always staying within 2Ls of the leader, not quickened when driven passing halfway, weakened inside 200M.
10 12 SAMADHI (N200) K C Leung H Behind midfield, slightly outpaced in middle stages and had to be pushed along to maintain position, never able to challenge.
11 3 LUCKY SCEPTER (N174) M Du Plessis -- Close up early, outpaced in middle stages and fell back to midfield, one-paced passing 400M, faded over final 200M.
12 13 RUMBA KING (M172) B Prebble -- Checked at the start, soon detached from the main group, well behind passing 400M and never involved. (Jockey reported his horse didn't stretch out at any stage.)
13 5 GOLDEN OSMANTHUS (N245) C K Tong H Struggled for pace and soon detached from the main group, not picked up at any stage.
14 6 JUN QI (CL162) C W Wong B Driven to be in touch with leaders, outpaced nearing 500M, dropped away rapidly final 300M.
