1 1 BRAVO BRAVO (CH119) B Prebble -- 7Ls behind speed in 12th at 800 M, closer but still in rear into home straight, let down well to lead 150 M out down centre of track, kept on strongly.
2 6 CHIEF WITNESS (CJ219) F Coetzee TT Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls behind early pace, 1L down in 3rd into home straight, kept on well but found winner too strong.
3 3 RAINBOW OASIS (CH165) K L Chui B Restrained from widest gate, 9Ls last early and 6Ls down off last turn, stayed on strongly through the field and only just failed to nick 2nd.
4 8 ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) H W Lai B- About 6Ls back in 9th down backstretch, midfield on straightening and challenging with place hopes at the 200 M, no extra final 100 M.
5 7 LIONS' FORTUNE (CJ114) Z Purton -- Over-raced early when without cover, wide 4Ls back in 5th at 800 M, closer in 4th off last turn, entitled to drop away but stayed on well after tough trip.
6 14 SURE GAIN (CJ038) C W Wong -- Around 10th or so early, 6Ls back at halfway but edged closer entering final 400 M, held up 300 M out, tight for room late and held in midfield.
7 13 K-JACK (CG233) M Du Plessis TT 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off speed in mid-division at 600 M, closer and challenging when briefly held up at 250 M, one-paced in closing stages.
8 2 SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) D Whyte B1 Slowest away and squeezed at start, midfield about 3Ls from speed until home turn, 1L down with place hopes at 200 M, couldn't be sustained.
9 10 DIVINE TOUCH (CG291) G Mosse P/TT Keen early and pressed into midfield position at halfway, 3Ls adrift off last bend, 2Ls back and all out at 200 M, weakened.
10 12 ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) M Nunes CP Awkward break, always worse than midfield, 4Ls or 5Ls from the pace until home straight, briefly challenged 250 M out but soon weakened.
11 5 O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) C K Tong -- Disputed early pace on fence, a neck back in 2nd at last turn, swamped 200 M out and faded late.
12 9 OPTIC KING (CE139) W M Lai SR/CP Disputed early tempo out 2-wide, held a neck margin at final turn, swallowed up at the 200 M and eased down before the line.
13 4 SUPER CEE JAY (CG289) P H Lo B/TT Over-raced initially when close up in 4th and a little wide, still prominent at last corner but very weak final furlong, eased late.
14 11 MR WUNDERBAR (CJ068) O Doleuze -- Retreated from wide gate, always in rear group but only about 5Ls back off last bend, found nothing under pressure and eased late.
