1 11 FAST WINNER (CG140) M Du Plessis BO1 Disputed early pace on the fence, slipped 1L clear at the 600 M and pulled further ahead in the straight to win unchallenged.
2 10 MR FLOODLIGHT (CG257) B Prebble B Lost ground at the start, 4-back the fence about 6Ls back in 12th at the 800 M, ran on strongly in the final 300 M to nick 2nd close home.
3 13 ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) K L Chui V Went back to last from gate 13, 8Ls off at the 800 M but edged closer turning for home, stayed on pretty well for a place, steadily improving.
4 6 TOP SPEED (CH019) K C Leung B Settled midfield between 3Ls and 4Ls from the speed through to home turn, was then held up until 250 M out, appeared unlucky not to place.
5 5 SHINING DRAGON (CC181) C K Tong SR/V Disputed early speed with the winner out 2-wide, 1L back in 2nd off the last curve, one-paced inside the final 200 M.
6 14 SO NICE (CG110) H W Lai XB Taken back to 12th at least 6Ls from the early pace and much the same but wide turning for home, made some minor late ground, nearest at finish.
7 12 SUPER RED (CG230) M Chadwick CP/XB/TT 3-wide no cover when 1L back in 3rd at 1000 M, wide throughout, 2Ls down in 3rd turning for home, soon petered out after the extra work.
8 2 BAYVIEW GREYSLEW (CJ194) W M Lai TT One from rear about 7Ls from initial pace, widest (5-wide) and last about 6Ls back swinging for home, made only minor late ground.
9 4 FASTER FASTER (CG010) D Whyte CP Slowly away as usual, recovered to race around midfield on fence at halfway, place prospects when 2Ls back in 4th at the 200 M before the run peaked.
10 8 OPTIC KING (CE139) P H Lo SR/CP/TT Raced wide throughout sometimes without cover when around midfield and 3Ls from the front, began to retreat by the 200 M.
11 1 MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) B Doyle B 3-wide with cover about 4Ls from the pace in mid-division at the 800 M, one-paced in the home straight and no danger inside final 200 M.
12 9 TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) O Doleuze B/TT On the leader's back on rails in 4th at the 800 M, under pressure despite this soft run turning for home and quickly wilted.
13 7 NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) Z Purton B Handy position in 5th about 3Ls from pace with cover through to straightening, found zero off the bit, disappointing effort. (Questioned for poor performance.)
14 3 SPY KING (CE205) T H So V/XB/TT Midfield about 4Ls from the pace at first, further back off last turn and soon eased down.
