1 9 LUCKY RECORD (CL429) M Zahra XB/BO1/TT Drifted back widest gate, raced at rear nearly 10Ls away, still well back turning, came to middle and unleashed a powerful dash to gather in field and overpower leader final 100m. Strong performance.
2 1 FIONN'S TREASURE (M386) Z Purton -- Jumped well, pressed forward to take up running, had run to suit setting even speed, cruising turning and kicked clear, kept up gallop but overhauled final 100m, well clear of 3rd.
3 5 BUNDLE OF LOVE (N324) D Whyte -- Went forward to position in first 4, races 2 and 3 wide just behind speed, 2Ls down turning, kept on well but no match for first two. Good debut.
4 6 GALAXY PRANCER (N389) T Clark -- Lacked early speed, back with last few 8Ls or so away racing 2 wide, crept closer between horses turning, didn't have clear run in straight and made good progress in circumstances.
5 3 ALL VICTORY (M107) M Chadwick TT Posted 4 wide without cover in midfield from a tricky gate, 5-6Ls back in mid-section working hard to bend, battled on ok in straight given workload run, just missed frame.
6 14 NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) H W Lai B/XB Tucked in behind midfield 6Ls away in running line, even trip to bend, switched wide and made some progress but peaked final 100m.
7 2 STERLING CITY (N152) W Pike H Landed a midfield spot 4Ls back in running line, shuffled back on bend, came wider turning and made brief headway but peaked final 200m.
8 8 METALLIC STAR (N309) C W Wong H1/TT1 Pressed forward from a wide alley but unable to slot in, faced breeze 3 wide without cover, 1L down turning, run ended at 200m when workload took toll.
9 10 HAPPY CHAMPION (N027) K C Leung -- Even break, settled just off speed on rails 3Ls away, quiet run to bend, in traffic turning, clear final 250m but was just one paced thereafter.
10 12 MR AWARD (M065) T H So TT Began well, ideally positioned behind leader, difficult to settle but not asked in run to bend, didn't find when asked and was one paced in home stretch.
11 7 FINN MACCOOL (CK072) M Du Plessis SR/TT Moderate break, raced in rearward division 8Ls back on rails, still well back on rails turning, didn't really get a clear crack at all in straight and wasn't able to be tested.
12 13 CONFUCIUS ELITE (N381) W M Lai SR1 Showed speed to go up and join leader, raced at leaders girth throughout. There to bend, dropped off when condition gave out soon after straightening.
13 11 MEGA (N243) C K Tong XB/CP1/TT Out with rest, positioned 3 wide with cover in midfield, 5Ls back, improved on bend, soon under pressure and dropped out final 300m.
14 4 CARRY THE ZEAL (M010) B Prebble -- Standard beginning, raced behind midfield on rails 6Ls back, saved ground taking inside runs on bend, gave in cheaply soon after turning and eased down. (See Racing Incidents.)
