1 13 NEW CENTURY (CA306) M W Leung SR Led from pillar to post, always about a neck clear on inside until home turn, 400 M out, skipped 2Ls clear 200 M out, driven out to score.
2 9 TATTENHALL (BV053) H K Yim B-/P1 Settled 2 to 3Ls off pace racing 2 and 3-wide in 6th place until home turn, hard ridden to improve into joint-second 200 M out, never looked like catching winner.
3 2 CHIRAG (BT199) W Woods P Raced 3-wide towards rear about 6Ls off lead until 800 M out, crept a little closer final bend to be 4Ls off pace, stayed on through beaten horses final stages to be nearest finish.
4 11 GRACIOUS FELLOW (CA265) K H Ting -- On fence and 4Ls off speed in 7th through first half of race, niggled 800 M out to take closer order, 2Ls down entering straight, stayed on at one-pace final 300 M.
5 5 SINCERE AND FAITH (BT102) A Suborics P 3Ls down and 3-wide and never further than 1L off speed through until home stretch, failed to follow through final 400 M.
6 10 LUCKY CHARM (BP252) O Doleuze -- Settled 2-wide 2Ls off speed in 5th place throughout, travelled well entering straight, not quicken up when it mattered.
7 12 WINNING TOUCH (BN256) D Whyte P Held up in 2nd last place on fence and 7Ls off speed, 6Ls down entering straight, short of room 250 M and checked momentarily, ran on again final 200 M.
8 7 WAIALAE WIN (CB012) E Saint-Martin B Slowest away, 6Ls off speed on fence until final bend, 4Ls down entering straight, found very little off bridle final stages.
9 1 PROFIT DAY (BV335) W C Marwing -- Raced 2-wide and always about a neck off leader until 400 M out, dropped away tamely in home stretch.
10 4 MULTI-WINNER (BS149) S Dye -- Held up in rear racing 2-wide 7Ls off speed, never posed any sort of threat closing stages.
11 3 COUNTRY DRAGON (BV294) F Coetzee -- Raced 6-wide first bend and 4-wide and without cover between 1 and 2Ls until home straight, beat a steady retreat from 400 M out.
12 8 LIGHTNING FAST (CB076) Y T Cheng -- Held up in 8th about 4.5Ls off speed racing 2-wide, under pressure to keep up turning in to home straight, no further impression.
13 6 TAI PO FRIEND (CA257) R Fradd -- Always at least 4-wide and never closer to pace than 5Ls, raced 6-wide entering straight, never a factor thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.)
14 14 WINNING DELIGHTS (CA054) J Egan B 3-wide always about 5Ls off pace until home turn when under strong pressure, retreated swiftly.
