1 4 PLEZAYRE (CG116) C Soumillon TT Soon led. Kept on well in straight and did enough to hold off the 2nd horse in the closing stages having secured a 2Ls advantage 200 M out.
2 8 GLOBAL LEADER (CG048) G Mosse -- Midfield or better. About 3Ls back at 1000 M. Shifted out for running upon straightening. Kicked home strongly final 250 M but the post just came too soon.
3 10 SUNRISE LINING (CG030) O Doleuze -- Slowly away. Towards rear. Still 5 to 6Ls down rounding the turn. Ran on steadily in straight to get a very distant 3rd.
4 2 FINGERS CROSSED (CG037) H K Yim -- Slowly away. Soon recovered to be in midfield or better. Steadied off heels at 600 M before taking closer order rounding the turn. Kept on without threatening in straight.
5 5 HAPPY CRUSADER (CE080) Y T Cheng B/SR/TT- Soon tracked leader on rail. Steadied off heels at 800 M and continued to be awkward on heels rounding the turn. Unable to quicken in straight and plugged home final 100 M.
6 1 SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) C Brown B1 Forward of midfield about 3Ls back at 1000 M. About 2Ls down rounding the turn. Never threatened in straight but did hang in early straight and was awkward on heels final 100 M.
7 9 AMBITIOUS LEADER (CC082) D Dunn B/TT Towards rear. Very one-paced in straight.
7 12 DANSING FUN (CE202) K T Yeung -- Jumped best before settling 1L or so behind the pace. 3-wide turning in. Kept on until no extra 200 M out.
9 14 DENDRANTHEMA LOVE (CD073) C K Tong V Bounded at start. Always at rear. Proved difficult to shift out for run early home straight but never looked dangerous after obtaining clear run.
10 7 FLORAL FOKANZA (CG136) F Coetzee CP1/TT1 Dropped back to rear from wide draw. Hung out at 800 M. Never looked dangerous.
11 3 FRAMES DEPOT (CG118) K S Yu -- Midfield at best. About 4Ls back at 1000 M. Shifted out off heels at 600 M. Made no impression in straight.
12 13 EXCELLENT PARTNERS (CE191) G Schofield B- Always at rear. Never a factor.
13 11 SUNRISE STRIKER (CE278) C W Wong H Awkwardly away. Niggled forward to 2nd at 800 M but always trapped wide and without cover. Weakened badly 250 M out.
14 6 DANCING FAITH (CE297) M W Leung -- Thereabout just 1L or so behind the pace. Steadied off heels at 800 M. Nothing left 250 M out.
