1 8 MAKE IT (L139) K C Leung CP Good jump. Elected to sit on fence behind midfield from first turn. Took inside run and moved closer turning into home. Finished off strongly final furlong and just got up on line.
2 7 FLASHING GUY (L158) B Prebble CP/TT Quickly into stride and took lead on fence. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Kept on well and had every chance final furlong. Nailed at post.
3 3 HAPPY DRUMMING (M354) C Y Ho B Prominent spot to home straight. Ideal position to launch attack but lacked finishing touch of the front pair.
4 11 MOCHI (M090) Z Purton B Taken to rear from high draw. Driven up home turn and reached the back of midfield into final stretch. Closed off fairly well to make frame.
5 4 CHATER POWER (CG312) J Lloyd B/TT Away in line. Gradually taken to 2-wide towards rear. Similar spot home turn. Afforded clear run final 250M and made up decent ground home.
6 5 SPEECHMAKER (M238) O Doleuze XB-/B/TT 2-wide ahead of midfield to home straight. One-paced to conclude.
7 9 SOLDIER (CK346) C W Wong -- Hard ridden early but insufficient speed to cross. Caught 3-wide at midfield back straight. Dropped further back rounding home turn. Covered minor ground late.
8 10 SUPER BROTHER (M299) G Cheyne B Slow to begin and then was checked. Tucked 2-wide at midfield back straight. Swung wide to make run approaching home straight but couldn't turn up a notch thereafter.
9 6 STAR OF FAME (CH043) T Clark B/TT 3-wide with last few to home straight. Beat tired runners home.
10 2 GLORY HORSIE (M273) D Whyte -- Travelled 3-wide without cover behind pace to home straight. Peaked inside 300M. (Substantial amount of blood in horse's trachea).
11 12 BRILLIANT ONE (CG212) M L Yeung -- Always at rear. Never likely.
12 1 LITTLE RAINFOREST (N101) Y T Cheng -- Pressed forward and raced 2-wide behind leader from first turn. Faded soon after straightening.
