1 8 MR VIGOROUS (L189) T H So -- Placed 2-wide ahead of midfield, picked up smartly inside 300 M and swooped past the runner-up in closing stages.
2 6 FIRST IN COMMAND (L085) D Beadman H/TT Broke smartly and travelled well in the slipstream of pacesetter, got through a narrow gap 250 M, kept on strongly and was just caught close home.
3 10 SUPER PLUS (CJ090) K W Leung -- Off the fence and never far off in 5th, attempted an inside run on straightening but the gap closed near 250 M, ran on again in late stages to claim 3rd.
4 4 HIGH RETURN (CK164) Y T Cheng B Tracked leaders 2-wide, kept on to the line but lacked extra pace to challenge seriously.
5 7 JUMBO GOLD (CK393) B Prebble TT Raced keenly in early stages then tucked in behind midfield 4 to 5Ls off the pace, driven nearing 400 M, ran on.
6 3 BLESSING (CJ337) H W Lai XB Positioned 2-wide in mid-division, shaken up passing 400 M, stayed on without threatening.
7 9 PROJECT RUNWAY (L302) M Du Plessis B/TT Raced 3-wide in midfield early, strode to the front entering the back straight, kept on till no extra 150 M.
8 11 BE MY SONG (CH272) M L Yeung H/TT Went forward but not able to bag the rail until making the home turn, headed inside 250 M, gradually weakened.
9 2 STAR OF FAME (CH043) K C Leung CP-/B1/TT Swiftly crossed to a midfield position off the rail from draw 12, ran on one-paced turning in and was crowded for room in late stages.
10 5 CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) J Lloyd CP/TT Slow to begin, ended up towards the rear 6 to 7Ls off leaders, switched to 3-wide making the home turn, driven 350 M but found little. (Jockey reported his saddle shifted during the race placing him at a disadvantage.)
11 12 ASIAN CITRUS (CH246) M Chadwick B/TT Taken back after the jump, towards the rear 7Ls back, switched to outside on straightening but made no progress.
12 1 OUTTALIMITZ (CK312) G Cheyne SR1 In last throughout, never in the hunt.
