1 1 DRAGON EYE (CJ127) K C Leung TT 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in 8th at halfway, edged closer taking last bend, darted through the pack to lead 50 M out, ran on.
2 8 DAILY DOUBLE (CK043) B Doyle SR 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls behind speed at 800 M, 2Ls down in 4th or 5th at the 200 M, couldn't match the winner's late dash.
3 3 BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) M L Yeung B/TT Box-seated on fence 2Ls behind lead on rails until home straight, 1L down in 3rd entering straight, had every chance but lacked a decisive kick.
4 11 SEIZE THE DAY (CJ152) M Du Plessis B Soon led by a neck on the rails, still marginally in front entering home straight, couldn't quicken again and tipped out of the money final 200 M.
5 10 LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) B Prebble B A neck back in 2nd at the 800 M and disputing the lead off last turn, one-paced inside the final furlong and slipped out of the main placings.
6 6 SPEED FIGHTER (CD355) Z Purton B 2Ls behind the early pace in 4th or 5th with cover through to final bend, had his chance but found wanting in the finish.
6 9 TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) W C Marwing P-/TT Lost ground at the start, keen in rear at first, 5-wide (widest of all) when 5Ls behind turning for home, stayed on fairly well, never nearer.
8 7 ELECTRONIC MASTER (CJ135) J Winks B Slowest out and bumped at start, soon 8Ls last, on rails and 5Ls down on straightening, made some good late ground but never likely to figure.
9 2 MARVELLOUS (CH026) O Doleuze V/TT Taken back from widest gate, 3-wide with cover about 5Ls behind at first, a little closer off last bend, always outpaced.
10 4 KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) K T Yeung B 3-wide no cover throughout despite being 1L off pace in 3rd until home straight, extra work exacted its toll in closing stages.
11 12 ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) M W Leung -- Always worse than midfield at least 4Ls or 5Ls from the speed, didn't have much room at furlong pole, no danger when staying on again down the centre.
12 5 FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) J Victoire -- Slowly away again, 3-wide with cover in midfield at 800 M and 3Ls back in midfield off last bend, lacked a turn of foot.
