1 5 MANY GAINS (CJ051) B Prebble B-/TT2 Ridden along to travel in second position outside the leader. Shot clear at the 300m, and never looked in doubt.
2 12 WINNING STRATEGY (CJ353) M Du Plessis B Rated behind midfield, 2 wide with cover. Peeled out near the 500m to race 3 wide with cover. Rounded the home bend 6 deep and closed off strongly over the concluding stages.
3 4 VALUE CHOICE (CG213) J Lloyd B/TT Sent forward to lead along the paint. Maintained a good gallop down the running but was nabbed in the shadows of the post.
4 7 SLEEPCARE (CK336) G Cheyne B1 Checked at the start but recovered to box seat. Battled away to hold a spot in the frame.
5 2 DR UNION (CK105) W M Lai H/P Parked 3 back the fence. Kept on somewhat one paced in the run to the line.
6 8 KING CREOLE (CG287) M L Yeung B/TT Posted 3 wide without cover, midfield. Never looked likely.
7 6 FUN AND FAST (L177) H W Lai B Settled at the rear soon after the start, 2 deep with cover. Peeled out widest on the home turn and passed tiring runners over the latter stages.
8 3 SUNSHINE BOY (CJ281) K C Leung B/H/TT Camped midfield 1 off with cover. Came up flat in the final stretch.
9 10 FAIRY DRAGON (L018) C K Tong H-/B1 Travelled 1 out 1 back. Had every chance but failed to capitalize.
10 11 NICE KING (CG147) D Whyte B Severely checked soon after the start settling with the backmakers along the fence with cover. Kept to the inside in the straight but only plodded to the line.
11 1 ASIAN CITRUS (CH246) W C Marwing B/TT Began awkwardly and settled at the rear 2 wide with cover. Travelled 3 wide with cover after the 500m, was a spent force early in the home straight.
12 9 PLANET (L029) Z Purton B2/TT2 Copped a check on jumping and then for some distance near the 800m, proved very difficult to settle whist positioned behind midfield the fence. Running on empty over the last 100m.
