1 5 LOOKING GOOD (B256) G van Niekerk CP-/B1 Moderately away before ridden up to position midfield on outside. Was niggled at middle stages before entering straight still 4L off lead. Worked home well last section.
2 3 GOLDEN GLORY (T076) K C Leung B/TT Positioned worse than midfield on the outside. Was asked to improve well before straightening before entering the straight the widest runner and making good late ground.
3 2 VICTORY POWER (B294) C Wong B/TT1 Ridden forward before ultimately positioning outside 1L off leader to its outside. Entered the straight in prominent position before fighting on bravely but just being overhauled by back-markers in closing stages.
4 7 CHAMPION SUPREME (B435) Z Purton B Started well before easing behind two speed horses to position perfectly behind leader. Was travelling extremely well 1 length off lead but was immediately under pressure on straightening. Boxed on fairly.
5 4 LAMAROSA (V093) M Chadwick B/TT Ridden forward before settling behind leading trio 3L off speed. Entered straight conceding similar margin before battling away in the straight.
6 10 OPEN HOUSE (A197) C Y Ho -- Didn't show a large amount of speed and ultimately settled worse than midfield on the inside. Still 5 lengths back upon straightening and made some ground in last section.
7 8 I'M THE CONQUIST (B155) U Rispoli B Had little early pace, settling second from last on the outside. Pulled the widest on straightening and made some late ground out wide.
8 9 GRAND HARBOUR (P421) W M Lai B/TT Jumped fast and ridden hard to get lead. Bumped with another runner after 100m. Travelled in the lead and was still 1L clear on straightening before being headed at the 175m and tiring late.
9 11 MANFUL STAR (V010) M L Yeung H Positioned midfield on fence only 3L from lead. Looked under pressure and was ridden up before cornering. Stayed close to fence but was only fair to the line.
10 6 C P POWER (V037) A Badel V/TT Eased back after jumping and came across to the tail of the field after first section. Was conceding large start to leaders and was ridden hard to bridge gap before straightening.
11 12 RUMBA DELAGO (B075) H T Mo -- Couldn't display an early speed and settled last in middle sections. Was at least 8 lengths from lead on straightening so made some ground close to fence but was never a live threat.
12 1 NOBLE DELIGHT (B199) K Teetan -- Was ridden forward from barrier but could not cross to lead so was subsequently three horses wide outside leader. Began to lose a ground upon cornering and weakened out in later stages.
