1 2 FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) D Whyte B Soon led and crossed to fence to lead by 1L at 1000 M, headed at 800 M but disputing lead again at top of homestretch, led 300 M by 1L, always doing enough to win.
2 6 WAFER KING (CD276) F Coetzee B-/TT 3-wide with cover in midfield or slightly worse about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace until home turn, finished off well but winner was too strong.
3 9 CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) G Schofield V 2-wide about 3Ls off pace in midfield until home turn, close enough to win if good enough but only did just enough for a place.
4 3 JADE DANCER (CE170) O Doleuze -- Box run on fence about 2Ls off speed in 3rd or 4th until tackling home corner, stayed on fairly well and just edged out of the money.
5 10 CLASSIC HORSE (CD378) S Dye CP Awkward break and soon one from rear about 5Ls off the lead, still in 13th taking home turn, kept on fairly inside final 200 M, nearest at finish without really threatening to place.
6 13 ETERNAL DRAGON (CE298) S King P 3-wide with cover worse than midfield through first half, 4Ls back in 10th taking home turn out 4-wide, 2Ls down in mid-division at 200 M and chances of placing, one-paced thereafter.
7 12 SHATIN WIN WIN (CE284) K S Yu TT Keen early on and without cover about 4Ls off speed in mid-pack, hung out on the circle and 5-wide (widest of all) off home turn when over 2Ls back, kept on at same pace.
8 4 CRUSADER OF GOLD (CE188) A Delpech B1 Lost some ground at start, 4-back on fence and towards rear no closer than 4Ls off speed until home turn, one-paced finish on the fence but never really got a clear crack at them.
9 1 HANDBAG PREMIER (CD137) H W Lai -- 3 and 4-wide sometimes without cover down backstretch in midfield or better about 2Ls or 3Ls behind leaders, 2Ls down in 4th but under pressure taking home turn, one-paced.
10 8 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) H K Yim B 2-wide and always worse than midfield between 4Ls and 5Ls behind lead, hard pressed on home turn, always well held.
11 7 DOUBLE FANTASY (CG141) C Munce -- 3 to 4Ls back on fence and a little keen early on about 4Ls of pace in midfield, closer but short of room turning for home, held up from 300 M to 200 M, never got a proper crack at them.
12 14 KING OF SPADES (CC056) W M Lai B Soon in last place about 6Ls off speed, 5Ls last taking home turn, a little short of room close home but always outpaced.
13 5 CHAMP DRAGON (CB278) C K Tong V Disputed lead out 3-wide no cover early on, led at 800 M out 2-wide, joined by winner at top of home straight, beaten over 200 M out.
14 11 OPTIC KING (CE139) Y T Cheng CP Driven early to take good position 2-wide and about 2Ls off pace in 3rd, still well there taking home turn, faded out quickly.
