1 9 PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) M Chadwick TT Towards rear at least 6Ls from speed before straightening, quickened up nicely out wide to lead at the 100 M, won with plenty in hand.
2 6 TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) B Doyle B Midfield with cover down the back, 4Ls down turning in 7th out 3-wide, no match for winner but went 2nd about 50 M out and held onto quinella.
3 7 GREAT SUPREME (CJ027) B Prebble -- Led early on, handed up advantage at 1000 M, raced 2nd before leading again 300 M out, headed again by the winner 100 M out, lost 2nd at 50 M, got 3rd.
4 1 FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) D Whyte B Midfield about 4Ls or 5Ls back until the final turn, briefly tight for room at 150 M but always outpaced by the principal trio.
5 14 EAST RIDER (CK283) T H So TT Much improved run, one from rear until the final 400 M at least 8Ls from the front, stayed on well to be nearest at the finish.
6 10 SURE GOOD (CJ240) K C Leung B/TT1 On fence between 2Ls and 3Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th at halfway, same turning for home, had every opportunity, failed to quicken up sufficiently.
7 2 NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) W C Marwing -- 3-wide no cover briefly down the back in 5th or so, much closer 1L back in 3rd off last bend, had every chance to place but failed to follow through.
8 13 DECAGONAL (CH244) M L Yeung B/TT Crossed from wide gate to lead at the 1000 M and soon 2Ls clear, headed 300 M out and steadily slipped out of contention.
9 5 LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) W M Lai B Always worse than midfield, 8Ls back in 10th at halfway, kept chasing the majority of the field.
10 12 ACCELERATOR (CG179) G Cheyne -- Never better than midfield, 11th at the 800 M, 5Ls back turning for home when under pressure, outpaced.
11 3 GOLD CITY (CJ322) J Winks -- Crossed from widest gate to race handily in 4th at 1000 M, still close enough turning for home but found very little off the bit and yielded ground rapidly.
12 8 MOONGLOW (CG008) C K Tong B/TT Never going well, last and niggled along down the back straight, plodded on past two beaten rivals in the straight.
13 11 GREAT SHOW (CK001) K W Leung B 3 and 4-wide no cover throughout, held a midfield position before the last bend but quickly faded in the straight after the extra work.
14 4 WESTERN STAR (CK299) Z Purton CP1 4-back the rails and 6Ls off pace at the 1000 M, same margin behind and struggling on straightening, folded tamely.
