1 11 LUCKY HERO (CH135) M Nunes -- Fast away, took a prominent spot outside leader, raced on level terms and travelled strongly throughout, hit front passing 250 M, kept on well to score a solid win.
2 1 ELEGANT KING PRAWN (CE265) S K Sit -- First to hit ground, took up ideal position on leaders back, travelled well in mid-section, right there turning, held up and only gained split at 200 M and closed nicely last bit. Solid return from long time off.
3 4 STEP TO WIN (CG167) G Mosse B/TT Out with rest, pressed on to take closer order raced 1 out 1 back but overraced in mid-section, switched out turning, within a length at 200 M, but just peaked on run and held margin in finish.
4 2 MONEY MAN (CG115) C K Tong -- Showed good pace and driven hard to find front, rolled along at an even pace with pressure from outside, shaded on turning, there to 200 M but couldn't match them late.
5 3 ENCHANTED (CE065) F Coetzee SR Out with rest, ended up near to tail as usual 5 to 6Ls off speed, well back on bend, in traffic to 200 M, made many lengths last furlong closing best of rest. Big finish.
6 12 RAINBOW OASIS (CH165) P H Lo B Even getaway, held a midfield role 4Ls back on rails, had easy run in mid-section, in behind horses turning in, kept on at same pace along inside to be not too far away at finish.
7 5 THUNDER DANCING (CG250) K Shea -- Standard beginning, raced 3 wide in midfield with cover, 4Ls back rounding bend, switched very wide on bend, closed steadily down centre without threatening.
8 14 FERRO BEAU (CG244) W M Lai -- Reasonable jump, ended up in midfield 4Ls away in running line, not used on mid-section, back between horses on bend, made some late progress in straight at same pace.
9 13 CONGRATULATION (CH032) D Whyte -- Began well, raced 3 wide without cover close to lead, applied some pressure in mid-section striding to leaders, did work to turn, right there at 350 M but couldn't go on last 200 M when workload took toll.
10 9 FAIR WIN (CE027) B Prebble -- Standard jump and taken back to race in rearward division, 2 to 3 wide, 5Ls off pace in middle stages well back and bumped on straightening, one paced over concluding stages.
11 10 SINGING DINERS (CH063) E Saint-Martin TT Ordinary jump, posted 5 wide without cover 6Ls off pace, set on impossible task covering too much ground throughout, widest turning and in impossible spot but still made some progress. Forget run.
12 8 WINNESSY (CH293) Z Purton -- Standard getaway, raced on rails behind midfield 6Ls from pace, not set a task in middle stages, saved ground on bend, closed only at same pace.
13 6 WALK WITH ME (CG278) Y T Cheng -- No pace, regathered to race 6Ls back on fence, lost ground at 1000 M, a clear last on bend, found little in run to line passing only a tired runner.
