1 8 SPRING SMILES (CG269) O Doleuze PC Held up in 12th initially, pressured to improve when 7Ls off pace at halfway, closer turning for home, upsides 200 M out, all out to prevail.
2 5 STORM'S DESTINY (CJ260) M W Leung B Taken back to race on fence one from last, 6Ls down into home straight, good turn of foot to be 1L back at the 200 M, kept on well, just failed.
3 6 WADADELIGHT (CC340) D Whyte B Handily placed in 5th or 6th throughout within 3Ls or so of the speed before 600 M, given every chance in the straight to win, lacked a decisive kick.
4 10 COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) Z Purton -- Midfield with cover about 5Ls off speed before last turn, ran on well in the straight but winning post came a fraction too soon to place.
5 1 LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) G Mosse -- Prominent but caught 3-wide no cover despite exiting gate 3 entering back straight, in 2nd with every chance at the 200 M, run peaked close home.
6 11 LIGHTNING MOUNT (CH082) G Cheyne B 5-back the fence some 7Ls off pace in 11th at 1000 M, rattled home pretty well from off pace, nearest at the finish.
7 9 SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) C W Wong B 3-back the fence in 6th at halfway and similar turning for home, could only finish off one-paced.
8 3 MASTER TOWER (CK012) T H So -- Pressed on from wide gate to lead by 1L at 1200 M, held a break of 2Ls before final bend, headed and swamped about 150 M out.
9 2 ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) Y T Cheng B Taken back to last from wide gate, at least 8Ls from pace and pressured to improve before final turn, could only run on past a few stragglers.
10 14 HEALTHY CONTENDER (CJ342) C K Tong -- Better than midfield and 3-wide but with cover 1000 M out, niggled along when 5Ls off speed at 600 M, very one-paced.
11 12 LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) M L Yeung B 4-back the fence and niggled along throughout as usual, 4Ls or 5Ls back in midfield at halfway, never troubled the principals.
12 7 SHATIN TREASURE (CK124) S K Sit XB 2-wide and 2Ls back in 2nd early on, still close-up in 2nd entering home straight, quickly dropped off once tempo quickened.
13 4 LITTLE BIG BOY (CJ012) M Chadwick CP/TT Poor effort, always rearward at least 6Ls from the speed and struggling before the final turn.
14 13 BRAVO HORSE (CH312) W M Lai B/SR Nicely placed in 2nd or 3rd before halfway, struggling to maintain this proximity swinging for home, dropped out. (Bled.)
