1 8 TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) D Whyte B Jumped fairly, restrained to settle in midfield 2-wide 4 to 5Ls back, had quiet time in middle stages, switched out in straight, closed steadily to fight out finish and managed to outrun the 2nd over concluding stages.
2 7 REDHILL COMMANDER (CH078) Z Purton TT Away well from inside draw, soon taken to a midfield spot along rails 4 to 5Ls off the pace, eased out on turning, into clear 400 M, hit front inside 200 M, battled on but was just overhauled in the dying strides.
3 11 ELEPHANT STAR (CH323) W M Lai B Began with them, allowed to relax in a midfield role 3 to 4Ls behind leaders, had reasonable trip coming into straight, ran on steadily to take 3rd without threats to the first two.
4 4 JADE CHINA (CG113) B Doyle B/H Ordinary break, settled patiently along the fence behind midfield, 7Ls to make up on leader on straightening, quickened reasonably well to finish closest on line.
5 1 BATURO (CH029) K C Leung -- Away in line, pressed on to race on the outside of leader under a moderate tempo, took over the lead on straightening, led until 200 M out, weakened thereafter.
6 12 SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) C W Wong TT Began nicely, pressed forward to race behind leaders, niggling along on the turn, didn't really quicken in the straight and produced only a one-paced finish.
7 2 MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) H W Lai XB/TT Reasonable jump, restrained to settle in rear division with cover, about 8 to 9Ls back in turning, shifted in on straightening for a clear passage, made some headway from a position too far back.
8 5 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) B Prebble -- Broke well, drifted back to hold a midfield spot 5 to 6Ls back, came 3-wide on the bend without cover, peeled out to challenge but unable to find extra gear, kept one-paced to finish.
9 6 AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) K T Yeung B Tardy to begin, allowed to stride on to a forward position behind leaders, had a fair run with moderate tempo, showed little in straight and was soundly beaten.
10 10 DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) G Mosse TT Ordinary jump, taken back to a rearward position about 8Ls off the pace, well back on straightening, kept to inside and made only limited progress.
11 14 SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) M L Yeung CP2 Broke with rest, parked in a slot worse than midfield and 3 wide, swung wide in straight into middle of track, unable to pick up and just plugged away to line.
12 3 FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) O Doleuze B No Comments on Running information for this horse.
13 9 DAYLIGHT EXPRESS (CH036) E Saint-Martin -- Slow to begin, ridden up to hold spot in mid-division, lost position near 700 M, recovered soon but had to come wide for a run in straight, did not close the race off, dropped away 100 M out.
14 13 WONDER KID (CH233) W C Marwing SR-/CP1/H1/TT Standard break, hard pressed to take up running on fence setting a moderate tempo, challenged for lead on turning, soon under pressure on straightening, faded out from 350 M before dropping out completely inside 200 M.
