1 9 AMBITIOUS TREASURE (CJ173) H W Lai TT Midfield 3-back the rails through to final bend within 3Ls or 4Ls of pace, quickened up to lead 100 M out, did enough to score.
2 5 FLYING COLOURS (CJ111) K C Leung CP Nicely placed in 4th within 2Ls of the speed through to last corner, led over 200 M out but couldn't repel winner's late dash.
3 8 FOREST STAR (CJ167) M Chadwick TT 4-wide no cover in rear at least 5Ls off pace before last turn, rider also dropped reins 150 M out, did well to place under the circumstances.
4 2 LUCKYME (CH012) Y T Cheng TT2 3-wide but with cover in 9th some 5Ls from the speed before last bend, finished off pretty well for 4th.
5 4 MY WAY (CJ203) Z Purton B Bumped at start, 4-back the fence about 5Ls from lead at halfway, peeled out wider in home straight, recovered some fair late ground.
6 12 DIVINE KID (CK157) W C Marwing -- Always around midfield, 4Ls adrift before last turn, kept on at the same pace.
7 13 SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) C K Tong B/SR Bumped at start, never any better than midfield, 6Ls back in 10th at the 800 M, ran on past some spent rivals in the straight, nearest at finish.
8 3 WINBO (CJ085) M L Yeung -- Rearward and over-racing a little when 3-wide but with cover some 7Ls behind at halfway, posed no genuine threat in the stretch.
9 14 SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) C W Wong B One from rear about 7Ls down at the 800 M, still at the rear at the furlong pole, remained among the also-rans.
10 1 KARBRIDGE (CK251) B Doyle -- Prominent but wide no cover initially, led by 1L out 2-wide at 800 M, headed before the furlong marker, wilted.
11 6 POWER RETURN (CK039) B Prebble -- Wide no cover early on, 2Ls back in 3rd at the 800 M, 2nd turning for home, found zero under pressure, very disappointing favourite, blood in trachea.
12 11 PERPETUAL DELIGHT (CK200) O Doleuze TT1 Slowest out, 8Ls last at the 800 M, remained in the rear bunch despite recovering marginal ground in the straight.
13 10 PERPETIEL (CK229) J Lloyd -- Disputed early exchanges, eased back into box-seat at the 800 M, 2Ls back in 3rd off final bend, very flat in the finish after such a cushy passage.
14 7 ACE OF SPADES (CK265) W M Lai B In 5th or so but 3-wide no cover at halfway on the circle, surrendered pretty tamely in the straight, eased down late on.
