1 1 GREAT HERO (CH016) B Prebble B/TT 3-wide with cover about 3Ls down in 6th at 1000 M, loomed 4-wide off last turn for a clear lead 300 M out, driven out for another decisive win.
2 10 WIN MORE (CH243) E Wilson CP Close-up throughout, 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, 1L back in 2nd at last bend, no chance with winner but stayed on best of the rest for 2nd.
3 11 LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) E Saint-Martin B1 Slowly away, 3-back on fence about 4Ls from the speed at 1000 M and similar taking last bend, well held but plugged on dourly for a place.
4 2 JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) G Mosse P- Midfield about 4Ls from the speed at 1000 M and same taking last bend, had his chance to place but lacked the follow-through.
5 9 OPERA MAGIC (CB404) C W Wong -- No Comments on Running information for this horse.
6 14 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) H W Lai B In rear early on about 7Ls from the speed, same position and driven along turning for home, made minor late ground through spent rivals.
7 13 THAT'S IT (CE223) G Boss -- Never better than midfield or 4Ls or 5Ls from the pace, posed no great threat in the concluding stages.
8 4 ALICE TOO (CG309) M Nunes B/XB1/TT A neck 2nd out 2-wide 1100 M out, lost this position at top of home straight and swamped final 200 M.
8 8 CHATER DE LAGO (CG246) O Doleuze B/TT Fractious in gates, one from rear about 8Ls last at 1000 M, still well back when short of room at 200 M and 100 M out, never likely to figure.
10 6 GOOD TRIO (CD029) L Corrales B Worse than midfield about 6Ls off speed in middle stages, about 4Ls down in mid-division at last turn, never dangerous.
11 5 JOY TRUMPS (CD242) K M Chin B/TT Best away, settled nicely on fence about 2Ls back in 5th at the 800 M, still thereabouts making last turn but failed to remain in touch.
12 12 SPRING SMILES (CG269) Z Purton B Raced and 3 and 4-wide (sometimes without cover down backstretch), 5Ls down in 9th at halfway, couldn't draw any closer in final stages. (Mildly lame next day.)
13 3 CHAMPION LAD (CH042) D Beadman XB/TT Worse than midfield about 6Ls behind with cover at 1000 M, 5-wide (widest of all) from the 600 M, didn't find much off the bridle.
14 7 WINNING AHEAD (CJ018) Y T Cheng B1/CC1/TT Fractious in gates and slowest out, 3-wide no cover when 2Ls back in 3rd at 1000 M, struggling to lie up 700 M out, beaten turning in.
