1 4 LIMONCELLO (CH178) K T Yeung B Began with more purpose, raced prominently outside leader, took a sit behind leader in back straight, tracked well thereafter, eased out turning and went to front, fought off challengers late.
2 5 ARISTOCRACY (CG070) H W Lai CP Well enough away, took a nice position 3Ls back, lost spot in back straight, in between horses on turning, into clear at 300 M and closed hard late to just miss.
3 2 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) B Prebble B No early pace, raced 3 wide 7Ls back, gradually made ground in mid-section, improved 4 wide on turning, finished well to end up a close 3rd.
4 14 RISING WIN (CC089) Y T Cheng SR Standard jump, positioned nicely on back of speed 3Ls back, no excuses in run, took inside runs on turning, made nice progress to narrowly miss place.
5 7 CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) D Whyte B/TT Restrained from a wide gate, raced 6Ls back 3 wide behind midfield, had cover throughout, continued to improve on bend, made solid ground late to be beaten for a place in 4 way go.
6 12 STARFINDER (CH074) M Nunes B Unable to go forward from a wide alley, ended up 10Ls back in running line, still well back on turning, made many lengths in straight to be not far away in finish.
7 6 BAUHINIA (CD118) M W Leung P No early pace, ended up well back 6Ls off pace, niggled along to hold spot in back straight, back with last few turning, made some late progress without threat.
8 10 NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) P H Lo V Well enough away, took a prominent spot after racing wide early, had a fair run 2Ls back 2 wide thereafter, close enough on turning, loomed up at 300 M but lacked extra gear and weakened last bit.
9 13 GLOBAL WAY (CG158) W M Lai B/TT Worked from a wide alley to cross 3 wide to be outside leaders, kept pressure on thereafter, still the 1L down turning, hard run took toll last 300 M and faded from contention.
10 1 KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) S K Sit B Awkwardly away and failed to muster, ended up 7 to 8Ls back at rear, helped by tempo, still well back approaching bend, made limited headway in straight.
11 3 TIMBER CITY (CC031) G Mosse B Standard beginning, slotted into running line 3Ls back early, took a 3 wide position without cover at midpoint, gradually crept closer on bend, had nothing to offer in straight and weakened right out.
12 11 CAPABEL (CD195) M Du Plessis -- Moderate jump, ended up behind midfield on rails, had a fair run suited by speed, had job to do on turning, made no impression straight.
13 8 EXCELLENT PLASTIC (CH263) C W Wong TT Began well, showed usual pace to take up running, ran field along at a decent tempo, 1/2L clear on turning, stopped quickly soon after straightening, beaten a long way.
