1 2 SMART CURRENCY (CJ222) K L Chui TT Always prominent down centre of track, pulled 1L clear when asked 200 M out, never in danger of relinquishing the break, had plenty in hand.
2 1 EXTRA SPECIAL (CJ213) J Lloyd CP Slow out and bumped at the start, over 4Ls last early on, ran on well through the field to nick 2nd late on.
3 14 SEIZE THE DAY (CJ152) M W Leung B Near stand-side and better than midfield, responded well to pressure to nick a place late on.
4 11 MY GOAL (CJ131) Y T Cheng B- Midfield about 2Ls off the speed until the 400 M, made some good late head way for 4th, probably wants further.
5 6 FLEETING QUALITY (CJ347) H W Lai -- Established an early lead, vied for the advantage until the 400 M, weakened out of the money inside the final 200 M but not a bad debut either.
6 7 SHI SHAN (CJ266) Z Purton -- Travelled well in midfield over 2Ls from the pace until the 400 M, always held by the same margin but a decent debut nonetheless.
7 8 SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) W C Marwing TT Midfield along the stand's rail 3Ls off pace at 600 M, one-paced and offered little threat.
8 10 HAPPEE GIFT (CH313) K C Leung B/XB Disputed the early speed along the stand's rail, under pressure to try and keep up 300 M out, petered out quite tamely.
9 4 STAR LEGEND (CJ233) O Doleuze -- Never really got involved, niggled along in 11th at halfway, never likely to place.
10 3 AMO (CB125) J Winks -- No Comments on Running information for this horse.
11 5 EAST RIDER (CK283) B Prebble -- Always worse than midfield, 5Ls back and beaten 300 M out.
12 12 MY MELODY (CJ157) W M Lai B/TT 2Ls back in midfield at halfway, beaten once the tempo quickened soon after.
13 9 BLESS US ALL (CK086) B Doyle XB/B1 Raced down the centre of the track, pressured to keep at halfway when 3Ls down, very weak late on.
14 13 LEAD THE PROSPECTS (CJ195) C K Tong -- Prominent very early on but steadily slipped through the field to trail in a well beaten last.
