1 3 SPEEDY WARRIOR (CJ077) B Prebble -- Travelled sweetly on fence in 4th or 5th about 2Ls off pace until straightening when quickening up well to lead, pulled clear decisively.
2 9 SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) W C Marwing -- 6Ls back in 10th when pressured to improve 500 M out, widest (5-wide) spinning for home, ran on well for 2nd but no hope with the winner.
3 5 BREAKING POINT (CJ179) O Doleuze PC 3-back on fence about 3Ls back in 7th at halfway, 2Ls down in 4th turning in, did enough to place.
4 8 RAIN OF THUNDER (CJ352) Z Purton -- 4-back on the rails about 5Ls off pace at 1200 M, closer and travelling well entering home straight, finished off only fairly.
5 4 DR WELL (CD165) K C Leung V Best away and no more than 1L clear on fence from 1200 M to 600 M, headed at top of home straight and steadily faded out of the picture.
6 6 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) C W Wong SR-/B1/TT1 Slowly away, one from rear about 8Ls off speed at halfway, recovered a little ground without threatening.
7 2 MULTI MILLIONS (CD207) G Mosse B-/SR2 Always worse than midfield and at least 4Ls or 5Ls from the pace, never dangerous.
8 11 TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) Y T Cheng CP 2-wide and 4Ls back in 8th at 1200 M and edged closer in 5th turning for home, lacked a turn of foot.
9 1 SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) C Soumillon B Held the 'one-out-one-back' position through first half, losing prominence and pressured entering home straight, petered out tamely. (Questioned for poor performance.)
10 7 FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) M Du Plessis B Always rearward, 9Ls last at the 800 M, still last turning for home, never a factor.
11 12 GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) C K Tong B Disputed early pace, a neck 2nd at 1100 M, over 1L back in 3rd and ridden along to stay in touch turning for home, faded out.
12 10 BULB TREASURE (CH048) W M Lai -- Pressed on out 4-wide at first, 3-wide no cover 1L back 2nd at 1000 M, struggling to keep up 500 M out, very weak and eased late.
