1 1 HANNAH KING PRAWN (CJ178) K L Chui TT Settled 4-back along the rails in 9th until the 600 M, edged out wider circling for home, quickened up well to lead 150 M out and won easily.
2 2 AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) B Prebble B 2-wide and 4Ls back in 5th at the 1000 M, closer turning in with every chance, had no chance with the winner and all out to hold 2nd.
3 12 FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) M W Leung B- Slowly away, ran on well in the straight from the rear when 5Ls back in 11th and nearly nicked 2nd.
4 4 NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) K C Leung B 3-wide with cover at the 1000 M in 8th or so, about 3Ls down turning in, recovered minor late ground to take 4th.
5 3 MULTI MILLIONS (CD207) G Mosse SR 3-wide with cover in midfield about 3Ls back until home turn, had his chance to place but bereft of acceleration.
6 5 SEA PRINCE (CJ245) D Beadman TT 3-back along rails about 5Ls behind speed in mid-division at 1000 M, steadied before home turn, never likely to place.
7 11 SUPER FANTASY (CD162) P H Lo -- Slotted into the run of the race 2Ls back in 4th on rails at 1100 M and same and going well turning for home, no excuses for not picking up a lot better.
8 8 SOU MA TAM (CH253) C Soumillon B Disputed early pace, over-raced a little early when leading while opting to race 2-wide while leading, headed just inside furlong pole and fizzled out. (Questioned.)
9 6 DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) C K Tong SR Disputed early pace out 2-wide before handing up to race 1L or 2Ls back in 2nd or 3rd until homestretch, lacked a change of gear.
10 7 FRIENDSHIP (CE066) M L Yeung -- Trapped 3-wide no cover for the duration, pressed forward and 1L back in 2nd making last turn, little surprise that most of the field ran past.
11 10 RAIN OF THUNDER (CJ352) D Whyte -- No early speed, a little keen through first half, one from rear throughout, 6Ls behind in 11th as field packed at the 600 M, offered very little. (Questioned for poor performance.)
12 9 DASH (CG236) C W Wong -- Always rearward and 4-wide no cover for much of the back straight, became detached about 500 M out and ceded further ground.
