1 3 SILLY BOY (CC094) K T Yeung B/TT Amongst first few out, pushed on and took up front, rolled along at an even tempo, 1/2L clear on turning, kicked strongly at 300 M and kept rivals at bay to score with some ease.
2 9 DRAGON INN (CE327) M W Leung V Ordinary break, lost further ground when checked, raced 2 wide 5 to 6Ls back, still well back on turning, came to middle and produced best finish making many lengths.
3 7 WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) P H Lo B/TT Even beginning, pressed on to assume a prime position behind leader, had run of race 1 to 2Ls back, tracked well to bend, had clear running from 400 M and stuck on nicely without showing much of a sprint.
4 10 MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) M Nunes B Out well, unable to slot in and forced to race 3 wide without cover 2Ls back, did share of work to turn with reasonable tempo, there to 200 M just running out of gas late but kept on gamely.
5 4 SPICY HOT (CH064) C K Tong -- Fastest out, took a sit in coveted 1 out 1 back spot 2Ls back, had a dream run in mid-section, angled clear at 400 M but didn't really pick up and only kept on at same pace in straight.
6 14 KING PALM (CC118) Y T Cheng B No speed from outset and raced back with last few 8Ls off pace in mid-section, still gave a big start on turning, progressed well last 250 M making some good late ground.
7 13 FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) W M Lai B Reasonable jump, took up a spot 4Ls back on fence in midfield, not set a task in mid-section, had chance to progress on turning but only battled at same speed.
8 6 GEM MASTER (CG235) G Boss B Bounced out, didn't have pace to cross and drifted well back to be 6Ls away on rails, niggled on bend and made run between horses in straight but failed to make ground.
9 5 FASTER FASTER (CG010) D Whyte -- Moderate jump, settled in a two wide spot in midfield 4Ls back, had an even run with pace on, ridden along on turning but struggled last 300 M. Fitter next time.
10 11 AMBITION (CC079) S Dye B/TT No speed from jump, raced at tail 10Ls from leaders, made a 3 wide run from 600 M, came widest in straight and passed some tired runners late. Gave too much start.
11 1 NAMJONG SKY (CH129) B Prebble -- Slowly away and lost more ground when checked, raced 8 to 9Ls back on fence, helped by pace but still well back approaching bend, failed to run on in straight.
12 2 GOLD GEM (CG197) Z Purton H Out with rest, ridden with urgency to take close order, did work to keep a spot outside leader, challenged on circle, under pressure on turning and weakened out tamely in stretch.
13 8 KING'S CHOICE (CG040) H W Lai P Fair jump, always 4 wide from outside alley 4Ls back in midfield throughout, urged along turning in, weakened out easily after tough trip.
TNP 12 PRIME MOVER (CG028) O Doleuze TT Took no part.
