1 9 SUPER GENTLEMAN (CK365) W C Marwing SR 3-wide with cover in midfield down back straight; 3Ls off lead at halfway; 1L down and challenging 200m out; got up on the line.
2 13 LIONS' FORTUNE (CJ114) M L Yeung TT 3-back the rails in midfield no worse than 3Ls from speed before final turn; dangerous when 1L down at 200m; kept on; only just failed; improved.
3 1 TELECOM GOGO (CJ346) B Prebble B 3-wide with cover in 9th at 1000m; 4Ls back at halfway; 4-wide (widest) turning in; every chance when a neck 2nd at 200m; just held from quinella.
4 8 MIGHTY WINNER (CJ303) D Beadman TT Covered up a close 5th just 2Ls off speed until last turn; led about 250m out; reeled in by leading trio about 100m out, still not beaten far at all.
5 10 PACKING FRIEND (CK109) H W Lai -- Box-seated in 3rd or so 2Ls from the lead down the back and into home straight when tight for room; not much space again close home; not beaten far.
6 2 TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) C W Wong B/H Led by a neck at the 1000m; set steady pace; headed about 300m out; rallied when a head back in 2nd at 200m; didn't shirk the task.
7 3 THE RIFLE (CK208) D Whyte TT Slowly away; rearward and 6Ls from early pace; 5Ls down turning in; kept on at much the same pace down the centre of track.
8 5 BRAVO WINNER (CK035) Z Purton XB Over-raced initially in midfield; 4Ls off leaders at halfway; never quite got to the grips with the principals.
9 7 MARK UP (CK247) O Doleuze -- Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout; 2Ls back in 4th at first but 1L down in 3rd spinning for home; remained in the hunt until the 200m; one-paced late on.
10 4 COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) K W Leung -- 2-wide and a neck back in 2nd at 1000m; still upsides off last bend; weakened in final furlong.
11 11 VILLAGE KID (CK018) M Chadwick TT Worse than midfield at least 5Ls off speed before last turn; never likely to land a blow in the straight. (Tactic questioned.)
12 14 FORTUNE PUG (CK045) T H So SR Slowest out; 8Ls last on fence at halfway; unsuited by slow tempo and no great danger overall.
13 12 AMERICAN GLORY (CK209) W M Lai TT 4-back on the rails at least 5Ls from the speed before last turn when hard ridden to stay in touch; didn't succeed.
14 6 ALWAYS AHEAD (CK371) B Doyle -- One from rear out 2-wide some 7Ls from the pace down the back straight; remained at the tail of the field.
