1 11 MEGA BULLET (CH192) M Du Plessis B 8Ls behind early pace in rear, edged closer about 4Ls back out wide swinging for home, responded well to pressure to lead inside final strides.
2 10 SUPREME COMMANDER (CJ112) D Whyte -- 2-wide and 2Ls behind lead in 3rd at 1000 M, closer on straightening but couldn't quite establish a lead, passed by the winner close home.
3 14 WIN MORE (CH243) C K Tong B/H/TT1 Led by 2Ls at 1000 M, set a steady tempo until last bend, all out at the 200 M but still 1L in front, just about clung onto 3rd. (Blood in trachea.)
4 3 SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) G Mosse B 3-wide no cover throughout, better than midfield between 2Ls and 3Ls from the pace through to final 400 M, one-paced to wind up. (Questioned.)
5 9 KING OF SHAVER (CH041) M L Yeung B On rails with the run of the race in 2nd or 3rd right until the home straight, very one-paced and no excuses for not doing better.
6 4 STEEL NERVES (CG320) Z Purton B In 6th about 3Ls or 4Ls from the speed until the home straight, held up a little but was outpaced by the principals in the final furlong anyway.
7 7 JOLLY BIRD (CJ154) D Beadman TT 3-wide with cover towards rear at first, improved to midfield about 4Ls back taking last bend, briefly threatened but run died inside final 200 M. (Questioned.)
8 12 ACCELERATOR (CG179) W M Lai CP/XB/TT Midfield about 4Ls behind leaders at 1200 M and similar off last bend, never looked likely to improve his position significantly.
9 2 MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) O Doleuze B On rails and close up in 4th at 1200 M, 2Ls down in 5th and in need of a gap into homestretch, never found clear running room and not fully tested.
10 8 STORM'S DESTINY (CJ260) C W Wong SR Worst to break, 5-back on rails at least 5Ls or 6Ls from the speed throughout and never at all dangerous.
11 6 CLASSIC ENERGY (CJ143) W C Marwing TT 4-back on the rails about 4Ls or 5Ls in 7th or so down back straight, never saw much daylight from 400 M to 200 M and didn't have a hard race.
12 1 FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) B Doyle B In the second half of the field throughout at least 5Ls from the leaders.
13 13 SUPER BOBO (CJ116) H W Lai B/TT 4-wide no cover in rear from widest gate early on, 7Ls last and widest of all turning in, remained last.
DISQ 5 VILLAGE KID (CK018) F Coetzee TT1 8Ls behind in rear on fence down the back, still well back off last corner, ran on well late to nick 3rd, disqualified for rider weighing in light.
