1 6 EL ZONDA (CK132) T Angland TT Settled towards the rear, guided into clear inside 400M, made good headway to edge out leader close home.
2 9 FAT CHOY HONG KONG (N253) M Du Plessis -- Always prominent outside leader, took over near 300M, ran on strongly to the line, caught last few strides.
3 11 ADORATION (M214) T H So B Pushed along to hold a 3-wide position in midfield, left with no cover making the turn, kept on evenly final 400M but not pace to challenge first two.
4 3 AMIGO (CK358) O Doleuze B2 Held up near last, pulled wide to challenge passing 450M, stayed on well without being able to get to the first two.
5 2 TURBO KING (CL320) T Clark -- Well covered in mid-division, kept on evenly over final 400M and narrowly missed out on 3rd in a blanket finish.
6 7 PRETTY ONE (CL418) M Zahra TT Began well, never far off the pace, had every chance turning in, kept on to 100 M then faded.
7 12 HAWTHORNE (CL136) C W Wong SR Went forward, shared lead on the inside, ran on one paced passing 400M, weakened final 200M.
8 4 GOOD WORDS (CL371) M Chadwick TT Tracked leaders in 3rd, checked near 800M, responded to pressure early straight but got tired passing 150M.
9 8 DIAMOND ELEGANCE (N102) K C Leung XB-/B/TT2 Never better than midfield, saved ground on the inside but couldn't step up a gear when placed under pressure in straight.
10 1 LONGWAH SUPREME (M293) Z Purton V-/B2/TT2 Chased leaders, difficult to settle middle stages, found disappointingly little inside 400M, out of contention mid-straight. (Blood in trachea.)
11 5 CHEERS JOY (N184) D Whyte P-/XB Slowly away, raced at the back 7Ls off the pace, made no progress final 400M, never a factor.
12 10 HI MOLLY (N355) W M Lai TT1 Raced keenly when held up near the rear, 3-wide turning for home, soon dropped away.
