1 8 TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) B Prebble B Trailed 4-back on rails in 10th from wide gate, 5-wide (widest) turning in when 4Ls off in 10th, stayed on strongly to lead close home.
2 1 KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) M Chadwick XB Tucked in behind midfield initially, travelled well 2-wide when 4Ls back in 5th at the 600 M, led at top of home straight, grabbed in shadows of post.
3 7 NEW IDEA (CK007) B Doyle B Slow to muster early pace, about 4Ls back in 9th at halfway and marginally closer turning for home, 2Ls back at the 200 M, all out to take 3rd.
4 5 SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) Z Purton -- 6Ls back in 10th at the 1000 M, closer in midfield but a little wide off last bend, had his chance to place but lacked the turn of foot.
5 12 SIR LAGO (CH268) P H Lo B Hard ridden to take up a 3-back rails position at the 1200 M, around mid-division and 4Ls off lead through to last bend, couldn't quite reach the principals.
6 4 ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) Y T Cheng TT Taken back from wide gate, niggled along when 8Ls back in rear at the 600 M, plugged on past a few spent rivals in the straight.
7 10 SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) S K Sit B/XB/H1/TT Vied for the early advantage, settled 1-1/2Ls back in 4th from 700 M to final bend, weakened inside final 200 M.
8 11 SAVUTE (CE326) H W Lai -- Led by a neck on the fence early on, initial tempo was solid, headed at the 800 M and 1L back in 2nd off the last turn, soon fizzled out.
9 3 PLOT RATIO (CK044) M W Leung SR/B1 Box-seated in 4th on the leader's back on fence at the 1000 M, in 5th off last bend, very one-paced.
10 2 CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) K L Chui B A neck back in 3rd out 2-wide at halfway, advanced to lead by 1L at the 600 M, headed at top of home straight and finished feebly.
11 6 PEARL HALO (CJ023) K C Leung BO/TT 4-wide with cover disputing pace at 1300 M, soon slipped back to midfield position, wide and struggling turning for home. (Bled.)
12 9 BOBO WIN (CC238) J Lloyd TT 5-wide no cover vying for early lead, 3-wide no cover and a neck clear at the 800 M, struggling well before final turn after tough trip, to trial. (Tactic questioned.)
