1 6 MAGIC SWEEP (CH299) D Whyte B Settled on rails in midfield, angled off rails for a run after straightening, quickened well to assert authority near the line.
2 1 MY HOME TOWN (CH331) J Winks -- Broke well from middle draw, raced 3-wide without cover in prominent position, improved to join leader briefly approaching home bend, held one-out-one-back position turning in, hit front after straightening, caught late.
3 8 SUPER SNIPPETS (CG217) Z Purton B Settled towards rear to straight, ran on steadily down straight, did best work late.
4 7 TEAM WORK (CH276) O Doleuze B Began with others, raced in prominent one-back position on rails, similar in box-seat turning in and inconvenienced, fought on gamely without threatening.
5 5 SUPER GENERAL (CJ107) H W Lai H-/TT Began well from the one draw, held rails run to soon take up running, led the field to 250 M, no extra.
6 3 EVER BEAUTY (CJ161) D Beadman TT Began fairly, soon 0.5L in front but taken back to 1-out-1- back position early far side, shuffled back to 2L 4th before switched out to improve around the bend, held some chance 200 M out but unable to sustain effort. (Tactic questioned.)
7 12 SOARING RIVER (CK137) M W Leung SR Began with others from the widest draw, soon settled at the back, saved ground turning in, ran on steadily until running out of room closing stages. (Questioned.)
8 9 STAR OF FAME (CH043) K T Yeung TT Settled in last few to straight, tight between runners 200 M out, made some late impression.
9 11 POWER RETURN (CK039) M Du Plessis -- Moderate start from a high draw, settled just worse than midfield far side, kept on steadily in straight without quickening.
10 2 FANTASTIC CHOICE (CJ216) W C Marwing B1/TT Broke well, niggled along, settled just better than midfield to 400 M, made no progress in straight. (Blood in trachea and lame next day.)
11 10 TIGER RIDGE (CD084) W M Lai B/TT Sluggish at start, travelled wide towards rear far side, went wider into straight dropping to last, no further impression.
