1 10 LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) W M Lai B Travelled well 3-back on rails in mid-division between 3Ls and 4Ls from pace through to last bend, quickened up to lead 100 M out, all out to hang on.
2 11 FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) M Chadwick SR/TT Lost ground at start, about 5Ls back in 9th at halfway, 4-wide no cover from the 600 M, finished off very strongly, just failed, vastly improved run.
3 3 EVERGREEN (CE106) O Doleuze B 4-back the rails in 8th or so about 5Ls off pace at 1000 M, shuffled back a little before home turn, still finished off strongly along the rails for 3rd.
4 9 FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) M W Leung -- 8Ls off pace in rear at the 1000 M, still at the tail but a little closer off last turn, finished off well down the centre of the track and not far off in 4th.
5 1 AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) M L Yeung B 4Ls back in midfield at the 1000 M, 3-wide no cover from the 500 M, briefly threatened when 1L back in 4th at the 200 M, run peaked.
6 7 TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) B Prebble B Slowest out, taken back, one from rear 7Ls off pace at halfway, made some late headway but never quite troubled the principals.
7 6 STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) J Lloyd B/TT Pressed forward from wide gate to be 2-wide and 1L off pace from 1200 M to 500 M, all out to be upsides 200 M out, swamped late on.
8 4 KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) C K Tong B Best away but handed up the lead to box-seat at 1200 M and relaxed on fence in 3rd until the last corner, didn't find enough on the bridle.
9 8 CLOVIS (CH044) K T Yeung B/XB/H Taken back to race 6Ls back in 10th at the 1000 M, still with the most of the field ahead of him turning for home, kept chasing them.
10 5 DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) C W Wong SR Broke well from wide gate to cross to lead by the 1200 M, 1L clear through to the last bend, headed around the furlong pole, yielded ground.
11 2 HAPPY MASTER (CE050) K L Chui SR Handily placed 2-wide and 2Ls back in 5th at the 1000 M, a little further back in midfield off last curve, dropped out quite tamely.
12 12 NEW IDEA (CK007) Y T Cheng B-/CP1 Slow out, in front rank but caught 3-wide no cover through first half of the race, 1L back in 2nd on straightening, soon fizzled out.
