1 1 KINGSGATE GLORY (CH020) A Delpech B/TT Made all, clear by about 1L on fence until home straight, quickened clear under hand riding, tidily.
2 11 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) O Doleuze -- Had the box-seat run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd through to final turn, stayed on well enough for 2nd but had little chance with winner.
3 3 WONG'S SUCCESS (CE107) F Coetzee B 3-back on fence in 5th about 4Ls off pace until home turn, kept on at the same pace along fence to just take 3rd.
4 4 PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) G Mosse B/H/TT Checked at 1200 M, 4-back on fence about 5Ls off speed in 7th until the home turn, stayed on fairly well but just missed out on a place.
5 10 MEATH (CE143) D Whyte SR/V 3-wide no cover early but pressed on to race 2-wide in 2nd about 1L off pace until the home straight, one-paced finish and lost out on a place in final 100 M.
6 2 BAAZIGAR (CG171) S Dye -- 2-wide about 4Ls back in midfield at halfway, moved out 3-wide to try and improve on the circle, didn't find much under pressure.
7 8 CHEEKY LAD (CG198) E Saint-Martin -- Never any better than midfield, with cover 6Ls back in 9th at 1000 M, similarly placed off final bend, posed no threat finishing along the fence.
8 12 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) W M Lai V/XB Nicely placed in one-out-one-back spot in 4th about 2Ls or 3Ls off speed through to straightening for home, failed to quicken up and faded final 200 M.
9 7 ALEXANDR THE GREAT (CG231) K T Yeung -- 3-wide without cover in places, 2-wide and 6Ls back in 8th at 1000 M, under pressure to lie up at 500 M, petered out in the stretch.
10 5 SIXTY SECONDS (CB177) C K Tong -- Switched from widest gate to race 8Ls back on fence at 1200 M in 11th, not much closer turning for home, found nothing off the bit.
11 6 SAMBUOYANT (CE172) Y T Cheng B 8Ls off pace in 12th when 2-wide at 1300 M, still well back on straightening, very weak.
12 9 MASTER ABLE (CD349) K S Yu B Poor beginning and never going well, head up too and keen at 1200 M about 8Ls back in rear, never a factor.
