1 7 EVER KING (CE147) D Beadman V/TT Patiently ridden, still 6Ls back in 12th at the 600 M, quickened up well down the centre of the track to lead inside final few strides.
2 6 CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) W Pike -- 4-back the rails in 10th at halfway, looked the likely winner when quickening up well to lead 200 M out, caught by EVER KING close home.
3 2 VISIONARIO (CJ095) D Whyte CP Worse than midfield 3-wide but with cover until home straight when 5Ls back, stayed on strongly down centre of the track, only narrowly failed.
4 1 GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) B Prebble B Midfield with cover down back straight, quickened up well off home turn, dangerous when 1L down at the 200 M, marginally held from the placings.
5 14 RAIN OF THUNDER (CJ352) M Du Plessis B Midfield and 3-back on the rails through to the 600 M when 4Ls back, every chance when a neck 2nd at the 200 M, no extra final furlong.
6 12 FORTUNE DRAGON (CH324) B Doyle B/TT 3-wide with cover in midfield down the back, unbalanced turning in when about 5Ls behind speed, lacked pace of the principals.
7 8 ON SHAN BRAVE (CH230) K C Leung SR/V Box-seated in 3rd at 1200 M, every chance when 2Ls back in 2nd off final turn, soon swamped and steadied when beaten 100 M out.
8 13 FEEL THE FUN (CJ205) C K Tong -- Held the 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th at 1100 M, about 4Ls back in 5th swinging for home, one-paced to conclude.
9 3 EYE WITNESS (CG027) M Chadwick XB/TT No early pace and soon 8Ls last, crept at little closer at one point in the home straight but couldn't follow through inside final 200 M.
10 10 CLOVIS (CH044) T H So B/XB Disputed early running, gradually picked up the tempo to lead by 2Ls turning for home, headed before the 200 M and quickly swallowed up.
11 11 LOHAN (CH279) J Winks B/XB 2-wide in 10th down the back straight, still rearward and 6Ls adrift turning for home, always chasing the majority of the field.
12 5 GREEN GLORY (CJ177) Z Purton B-/V1/TT Always rearward, 6Ls back at halfway and 8Ls last turning for home, never a factor.
13 9 JOLLY WONGCHOY (CH076) K T Yeung TT Could not lead solo and force to work early on, 1L back in 2nd at the 800 M, weakened at top of home straight and dropped out tamely.
14 4 SICHUAN HERO (CJ044) Y T Cheng B/H Very wide no cover initially, still wide when 1L back in 3rd at 1200 M, struggling turning for home, beat a hasty retreat.
