1 4 NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) G Mosse B Never far off in the group chasing leaders, quickened to lead 200 M out, held on well under pressure when strongly challenged throughout final 100 M.
2 12 ALIVE AND KICKING (CJ071) W M Lai B Well enough away, held inside running and tracked leaders 2Ls back, responded well in straight and came closest inside 50 M, just held.
3 3 GO STITCH (CK062) G Cheyne B Fractious in the stalls, began awkwardly and lost ground, ended up in last few 5Ls off the pace, held up for a clear run early in straight but finished strongly once a gap opened up 200 M. Never nearer.
4 2 FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) Z Purton CP In midfield along the rails, 4Ls down turning in, made even headway inside 300 M to finish nearest on the line.
5 7 WING MASTER (CK258) M L Yeung B/XB1/TT Slightly slow out and soon rousted along to assume a position in midfield, made some progress final 200 M but never near leaders.
6 9 PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) C W Wong -- Bustled along after the start, raced outside the lead before taking over at the turn, surged 2Ls clear at the top of the straight, headed inside 200 M, outpaced and weakened approaching 100 M.
7 6 TREASURE HUNT (CJ348) M Chadwick B/TT Slow to begin and taken back to last, 8Ls behind passing 400 M, made little impression on rails, kept at the one-pace and never threatened. (Jockey questioned re riding position.)
8 10 HONEST TREASURE (CE200) T H So B/H/TT Raced 4-wide without cover in the chasing pack, outpaced on the turn and shuffled backwards, never on terms. (Jockey questioned re riding position.)
9 1 ALMIGHTY (CK006) D Whyte P Never better than midfield and raced 3-wide throughout, nudged along passing halfway and found disappointingly little going into straight.
10 11 BLUE SAINT (CJ080) H W Lai -- Driven to the lead and took them along at even tempo, had lead disputed approaching the home turn, outpaced from 500 M and weakened rapidly on straightening.
11 5 NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) O Doleuze CP Slow to muster, urged along to stay midfield, 3-wide turning for home and under pressure from 500 M, weakened final 200 M.
12 8 GLITTERING (CJ343) D Beadman -- Towards the rear and raced ungenerously in early and middle stages, never got going and soon beaten turning in.
