1 1 DARPANA (CK256) W C Marwing B/TT Camped 4 back the fence. Peeled out early in the home straight and let down strongly to record a convincing win.
2 6 CHEEKY LAD (CG198) Y T Cheng B Made its run from worse than midfield, 2 deep with cover. Took inside runs in the final stretch and closed off soundly.
3 8 FAIRY DRAGON (CL018) B Prebble H Enjoyed the run of the race on the fence in fourth position. Loomed up and hit the front at the furlong but was overhauled soon after.
4 9 KIMBER FORTUNE (CK162) M L Yeung TT Posted 3-wide without cover on the circle, behind midfield. Straightened wide but fought on to finish in the frame.
5 3 THAT'S IT (CE223) T Angland -- Handed up the lead and took a sit along the paint after the 800 M. Had every chance but weakened in the run to the post.
6 10 NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) D Beadman B-/PC1 Taken back from the outside alley to travel with the backmarkers, 3-wide with cover. Came wide in the straight but weakened on its run well short of the line.
7 12 LEAD THE PROSPECTS (CJ195) J Lloyd -- Raced prominently, 1 off with cover. Whacked away at the same speed, had no excuses.
8 7 GALLANT GALLOP (CL080) H W Lai B-/P2 Slow to begin and raced in last position 1 off with cover. Plodded to the line.
9 2 KING'S CHOICE (CG040) T H So -- Speared forward from a wide gate to lead along the fence after the 800 M. Faded inside the final 100 M.
10 5 BUMBLE BEE (CL027) D Whyte SR-/B1/TT Slow to begin settling 3 back the fence. Peeled out into the clear rounding the home turn but failed to find any extra at the business end of the race.
11 4 GO STITCH (CK062) G Cheyne -- Knuckled over at the start settling with the tailenders, 1 off with cover. Never in the hunt.
12 11 MAGIC KING (CH182) K C Leung B Began very awkwardly losing ground and settling towards the rear along the paint. Made no impression in the run home.
