2 4 BEJEWELED (CH289) D Whyte -- First out, allowed to relax behind pace 3 to 4Ls away on rails, had ideal trail off solid speed, eased clear on turning, chased hard to run down winner but could do no better inside 200 M.
3 8 ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) O Doleuze TT Standard jump, ended up 8Ls back in running line, helped by solid pace in mid-section, saved ground turning, closed race off best late to take placing.
4 9 SUNSHINE BOY (CJ281) W M Lai -- Away in line, ended up 5Ls away in midfield on rails, not used in run and took short cuts to bend, kept coming nicely along inside final 200 M to make frame.
5 5 BROTHERS IN ARMS (CJ070) Z Purton -- Began with rest, forced to angle into midfield to be in 2 wide line, raced 5Ls off solid pace, in clear running from 350 M, closed gradually without threatening.
6 12 DANZULU (CJ069) Y T Cheng CP Moderate jump, ridden up to race 9Ls away in 2 wide line, always in rear division and aided by strong pace, in impossible spot turning, made many lengths in straight to be nearest on line.
7 10 FAT CHOY ICHIBAN (CJ063) J Victoire -- Checked soon after jump and was at rear on settling, was 10Ls from top end in mid-section but helped by solid speed, still sharing rear turning, made some even progress in straight.

9 14 SUPER PLUS (CJ090) M W Leung B Began in line, ridden forward soon after start to take up spot outside leader, did work in mid-section with genuine tempo, levelled up turning, drifted out under pressure at 300 M, tired when run ended 200 M.
10 11 VALUE CHOICE (CG213) M Du Plessis B Moderate beginning and didn't muster, ended up further back than usual 10Ls or so off pace, shared rear on bend, made a brief effort 3 wide leaving bend, never really fired.
11 13 GREEN SUPER (CJ103) H W Lai -- Standard jump and was ridden along to hold position 5Ls away on rails, helped by strong speed on, well back turning, made no real impression.
12 6 HAPPY WIN (CJ239) M L Yeung -- Began evenly positioned 4Ls back in running line, 3 wide on bend, struggling turning in, failed to produce and was beaten a long way in straight.
