1 13 KAISER'S PRIZE (CD350) W M Lai -- Towards rear 4-back on fence about 5Ls off speed until the final turn, blocked for a run until switching into the clear at 200 M, stayed on strongly late to lead final 2 strides.
2 14 MOSHI MOSHI (CG255) F Coetzee TT Disputed early pace, handed up the advantage to sit 1L down in 3rd or 4th from 900 M until home turn, led about 100 M out and looked the winner before being collared final strides.
3 4 SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) C K Tong B/XB Within 3Ls of the pace better than midfield before being left 3-wide no cover from 800 M, 1L down in 3rd off final bend, led 200 M out but headed again at 100 M, held on for a place.
4 11 SPOKESMAN (CD099) K L Chui -- Towards rear with cover about 6Ls off pace at 1000 M, 4Ls back and still with several blocking his path off home turn, clear 250 M out and briefly loomed a quinella chance, run died inside final 100 M.
5 6 QI'S PET (CD321) S K Sit B Caught 5-wide no cover throughout, about 6Ls back in 10th at the 1000 M, widest of all turning for home when 4Ls down in 10th, entitled to weaken right out but stuck to task quite well.
6 1 LUCKY DANSKE (CD364) Y T Cheng TT Posted 4-wide without cover about 4Ls off pace in midfield at halfway, 2Ls behind in mid-division taking home turn and 1L down in 4th at the 200 M, one-paced close home.
7 7 HAPPY ELITE (CD306) M W Leung B-/TT Mostly 3-back on fence about 3Ls off speed in midfield until home turn, stayed on at the same pace along the inner without threatening.
8 8 ABLE STANDARD (CG043) C W Wong B/TT Raced in 2nd about 1L off pace out 2-wide at the 800 M, kept on to lead at top of home turn but headed again about 200 M out, faded thereafter.
9 10 MILITARY OPTION (CD237) A Delpech -- Settled around 9th place about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace until the 600 M, trying to challenge when tight for room at 300 M and 200 M, held inside final closing stages.
10 3 SOLAR (CC198) M Nunes B/XB1/TT1 Slowest away and about 6Ls adrift in 12th or so, a little closer turning for home but never threatened to improve much better than midfield.
11 2 KING ACRYLIC (CG295) H W Lai B/TT Slowly away, under pressure at halfway when 7Ls last, still detached turning for home, plodded on past a few tired ones late.
12 12 CARRY THE MAGIC (CE069) K S Yu B Disputed early pace out 2-wide and eventually led by 1L at 900 M, headed at top of home straight and swamped at the 200 M.
13 9 DIAGHILEV (CH241) O Doleuze CP1 Never better than midfield, about 4Ls off pace at the 800 M and 3Ls off pace at home turn, very weak inside final 200 M.
14 5 WILD ACE (CH009) D Whyte -- No excuses having had a nice position with cover in midfield about 2Ls or 3Ls off speed until home turn, found nothing off the bit and soon well beaten.
