1 3 UNIQUE JEWELLERY (CH196) D Whyte -- Quickly into stride, taken to a prominent spot behind leaders, travelled well throughout, crept up to lead from 250 M, rapidly accelerated away to win in good style.
2 6 HURRICANE DASH (CJ186) W C Marwing XB/TT Taken back on jumping, settled towards the rear 7Ls behind leader, delivered a strong finish down the outside of track to take 2nd on the line.
3 2 ELITE CHAMPION (CJ096) E Saint-Martin TT1 Began moderately, guided to a more prominent spot in front of midfield, 4Ls off the leader 2-wide, angled into clear inside 400 M, ran on well but couldn't match the winner's turn of foot.
4 8 SINGING DINERS (CH063) H W Lai TT Standard jump, slotted into a midfield position 3-wide niggling along on turn, fought on strongly under pressure to finish a creditable 4th. (1st start after a long absence from track.)
5 10 UPSIDE OF ANGER (CH317) Z Purton XB Eased to the rear after start, switched wide on turning covering ground, dashed home well down the outside without threat to the winner.
6 4 HORACE'S CHOICE (CH169) C K Tong H/TT Taken back on jumping, settled 5Ls back behind midfield, difficult to settle in early stages, picked up well entering 300 M but run ended when crowded for room inside 200 M. Not fully tested.
7 14 HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) M Du Plessis B/TT Unable to cross from the outside barrier and was left racing wide without cover in mid-division, ran home fairly under pressure but lacked extra gear.
8 5 RICE FIELD (CE134) D Beadman TT Standard beginning, assumed a midfield position 4 to 5Ls behind leader, not suited by the early pace, switched wide to improve on turning, briefly led 350 M out but unable to sustain effort, weakened inside 200 M.
9 9 ROMPING (CK038) B Doyle -- Slightly slow out, settled 5Ls back along inside, saved ground on bend, made some progress on straightening, checked near 150 M.
10 7 BLEDISLOE (CK073) F Coetzee -- Even back, drifted back to a rearward position 8Ls behind leader, lacked finish and only beat tired horses in run to line.
11 11 TEAM WORK (CH276) M L Yeung B- Bounced out well, pressed forward to race alongside leader, struggled to improve at 300 M when they dashed, weakened inside 200 M.
12 13 ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) Y T Cheng -- Hard ridden to take closer order better than midfield, tracked well on turning, didn't produce a finish in straight and just plugged away to line.
13 1 BEAUTY FOREVER (CK074) K L Chui TT1 Awkwardly away, failed to muster early speed, ended up racing towards the rear about 7Ls back, struggled on turning and didn't pick up under pressure.
14 12 MR COOL (CD071) C W Wong B/TT One of the first to jump, pushed forward to take up running on the rail under a steady tempo, had pressure from outside horses on bend, folded up under pressure inside 300 M, dropped out.
