1 7 LOADS OF JOY (L088) Z Purton TT Quickest of all, led after 50m, set pace along the fence. Shaken up at top of the straight, pushed all out, weakened last 100m, all out and barely held on by a head.
2 4 WINDICATOR POWER (L424) C Y Ho P/TT Bumped hard, steadied, rejoined at 800m and saved ground along the fence in 8th, came strongly under drive last 200m, continued to gain and just missed catching the winner on the line.
3 1 EASY WINNER (L138) T H So B Off slowly and steadied. Settled along the fence in rear. Responded generously under strong urging and finished well for third.
4 6 MASTER RIO (CK188) O Doleuze -- Bumped start. Recovered and sat behind the leader and eventual winner. Kept on, no threat to the first three.
5 9 MAKE IT (L139) B Doyle CP Slowly away. Interfered and steadied at 1000m mark. Recovered, settled in rear. Evenly under drive coming home, best of the rest.
6 12 SHOWTIME (CK278) M L Yeung B Clean jump. Midfield, travelled easy, came wide top of the straight, one pace under drive.
7 8 TEAM WORK (CH276) W M Lai B Jumped well, hustled at once for better position but was unable to do so. Settled near rear and raced without cover the entire trip, 6-deep top of the straight, kept on trying.
8 11 HIGH RETURN (CK164) Y T Cheng B Broke sideway and bumped. Raced wide 3-deep without cover in midfield, outclass here.
9 3 SUPREME FAY FAY (L185) G Cheyne B/TT Knocked hard from the gate. Recovered and settled just behind the leaders in 4th. Found little under drive.
10 10 GREY WHIZZ (M070) C K Tong -- Jumped well. Hustled to chase leader and hard ridden from 500 to close the gap and had little left with 300m to go.
11 2 TRES MAGNIFIQUE (L367) P Strydom SR-/B1/TT Fair jump. Ridden hard in the back straight but was unable to keep up with the pace. Dropped to rear and was beaten from a long way out.
12 5 AL PRINCE (M235) K C Leung B1/XB1 Poor break and trailed at once. Running greenly and bumped into the rail at the 800m mark. Trailed through out and was badly beaten before the straight.
