1 6 SILENT DRAGON (CG200) D Whyte XB1 Jumped with field, showed good dash to be amongst front runners 1L back towards outside, took over at 300 M, accelerated nicely last 200 M to draw away under hands and heels urging to score well (time only moderate).
2 1 CIRCUIT HERO (CG304) G Mosse -- Well enough away, sat 2Ls off them in centre of course, steadily improved from midpoint, kept on well last 200 M holding ground in run to line. Found winner too good on day.

4 10 VALUE CHOICE (CG213) K T Yeung B1 Out with rest, showed good dash to be up challenging for lead 1L back, always prominent but lacked an extra gear last 200 M, stuck on well to make frame for what was an improved effort.

6 13 RACING SPIRIT (CE105) H W Lai B/TT Only fair to get going, took up a position on the outside rail 2Ls back, close enough passing 400 M and offered a brief sprint but could only manage same speed in run to line (lost plate).
7 9 TREASURABLE (CH017) B Prebble -- Well enough to begin, positioned towards middle 2Ls away, had chance to improve but under pressure from 400 M, couldn't respond and stayed on moderately over the concluding stages.
8 12 MILLION CHASE (CD132) W M Lai B Standard to leave gates, back amongst pack well off the rails 4Ls off pace, always niggled to be there, shifted to centre at 400 M, lacked an extra gear last furlong and only battled to the line.
9 4 INVESTAR (CH099) O Doleuze XB Bumped jumping, positioned nicely in behind them in midfield 2 to 3Ls back, copped a check at 200 M but never really travelling and struggled in run to finish.

11 3 GREAT HERO (CH016) C K Tong -- Shade tardy to begin, had little early speed and ended up detached 8Ls off pace at tail, couldn't go speed but managed to produce some improvement before being checked at 150 M. Never a real threat.
