1 7 LUCKY MONEY (CE159) B Prebble TT Began nicely, showed early speed to take up spot behind leader, had even trip 2Ls back with speed on, kept to rails saving ground on bend, stayed inside turning in and knuckled down last 200 M to drive to front and score with ease.
2 9 QUEST FOR LOVE (CE242) O Doleuze B Jumped with rest, niggled along to hold a midfield role, had easy time 4Ls back throughout, tracked well behind eventual winner on the bend, chased hard closing steadily but found winner too good.
3 1 NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) C K Tong -- Ordinary break, towards tail as expected in a 2-wide spot 6Ls off lead, not overtaxed in middle but still well back making wide run on bend, hung in and proved difficult but made good ground down centre to be closest on line.
4 11 CLASSA SUPREME (CG261) H W Lai TT Amongst first few to jump, showed plenty of dash to assume front running role, kept rolling 2Ls clear and reasonable speed throughout, still held advantage on bend and kicked strongly turning, drifted right out when tiring late.
5 4 DIAMOND ERA (CE040) A Starke SR/TT Standard beginning, settled behind midfield on rails 6Ls off speed, not asked in middle stages, saved ground on fence on bend, kept to paint and made some ground in straight without really looking likely.
6 2 MOVE IT (CD211) M Nunes -- Slowly into stride, soon in rearward division on rails 7Ls away from leaders, appreciated speed on, kept to fence on circle, switched out turning and closed off well through middle of pack giving too big a start.
7 10 SUPER HONEY (CE187) D Whyte B2/H1 Awkward to begin, unable to go with them and settled further back than usual in midfield, 5Ls away in 2-wide position throughout, well back on turning, kept to inside but only finished off at same speed holding ground late.
8 3 BEAR DOMINANCE (CD235) C Soumillon B/TT Tardy to begin, beaten for speed and positioned at rear, lobbed along at tail some 8Ls from leader, benefited by fast pace, still had job to do on bend, inconvenienced on turning and hung in straight, made little impression last 200 M.
9 6 MAGI JOY (CH056) Y T Cheng B Bounced out well, prominent early and obtained 1 out 1 back role 4Ls away, proved difficult to settle in mid-section, began to struggle on bend, didn't really quicken in straight and produced only a battling finish.
10 5 GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) K T Yeung V Away well, pressed on to take closer order, assumed position first without cover 2Ls from leader, did share of ground work carting them up on bend, didn't find when placed under pressure and weakened after run ended at the 200 M.
11 12 TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) W M Lai V Evenly out, couldn't slot in and forced to settle in rearward division, inconvenienced at 1000 M and forced to travel 3-wide 6Ls off pace, had cover to bend, weakened out in straight after hard run, (Irregular heart beat.)
12 8 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) M W Leung B Well enough to begin, pushed onwards to get closer from an outside draw, forced to race 3-wide without cover 3Ls away, had a hard run always working to bend, effort took toll and dropped right out in the straight.
