1 10 TYCOON TAYLOR (CH288) Y T Cheng B Began fairly, took up a prominent role 1 out 1 back, followed speed nicely in run, same margin down on turning, closed race off best last 300 M scoring a shade comfortably in finish.
2 1 FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) D Whyte -- Away in line, held a close up spot on leaders back, had run of race despite rails bias, eased out on turning, hit lead briefly at 250 M but couldn't go with winner.
3 2 RED RULER (CH198) K L Chui B Best to begin, went on to take lead, pressured throughout by outside horse, still shaded by challenging horse turning, looked beaten but fought back well to be not far away on line.
4 4 ROYAL DOMAIN (CH287) Z Purton B Jumped in line, slotted in to running line 3Ls back in midfield, had an even run throughout, close enough on turning, made steady progress last 300 M to be nearest on line.
5 6 EXPEDIKID (CJ156) H W Lai -- Average jump, failed to muster soon after start, raced 6Ls away in rear division, always well back, switched out in straight, closed nicely from rear making many lengths last 200 M.
6 9 OWNERS LAD (CG273) G Mosse B Out with rest, ended up 3 wide in midfield 4Ls back with cover, did share of work to bend, lacked a turn of foot and just plugged steadily until run ended at 200 M.
7 8 REAL PLEASURE (CJ021) M Du Plessis -- Restrained from a wide gate, raced 6 to 7Ls back at rear, moved 3 wide on circle, still sharing tail at 400 M, made good progress in straight to be closest at finish.
8 13 COP HILL LAD (CD292) M W Leung CP Out in line, adopted midfield position on fence 4Ls away from lead, had a soft run in mid-section, but rails not place to be, turned in a one-paced finish in straight.
9 5 BE MY SONG (CH272) C K Tong V Away well, pressed forward to race outside leader, applied pressure to leader in run, continued to shade inside horse on circle, still sharing lead at 400 M, run soon ended and dropped out easily.
10 12 HAPPY ENERGY (CH033) W M Lai B Standard jump, unable to hold spot early, faded back to race 6Ls or so away on rails, didn't use much in run but not helped by bias, pushed along turning very one paced in straight and failed to close.
11 3 TRAVEL CONSULTANT (CG266) C W Wong SR Moderate getaway, raced behind midfield 5Ls back in 2 wide line, struggling at 500 M, didn't produce in straight and just battled to line.
