1 4 GONNA RUN (T094) C Y Ho TT Drew widest and dropped back from the jump to be 4th last early, 7L off the leaders. Ridden for luck in the straight, with a gap opening up 400m. Went to the line strongly with minimal urging. Kicked again when challenged late.
2 12 KIRAM (T093) G Benoist -- OK away, dropping back early to be midfield, 1 off the fence. Had to go searching for a run, before finding open air from the 150m. Ran strongly to the line, and had the nose in front 20m out before winner kicked again.
3 10 EASTERN EXPRESS (T192) J Moreira TT Began OK and pushed forward to eventually sit forward of midfield, 3 wide. Came wider on the turn, and worked to the line well. Held out a fast finishing 4th late.
4 2 ENORMOUS HONOUR (T236) H N Wong B Looked to push forward early, but dropped back to find cover, midfield and 3 wide. Dropped back to be last, and widest on the turn. Widest in the straight and ran on strongly, but left with too much to do.
5 8 JOLLY JOLLY (T087) Z Purton B Only fairly away and pushed hard early to make up ground, eventually being handily placed 5th, on the rail. Led at the 250m mark, but began to fade, and not vigorously pushed to the line.
6 14 HAPPY AGILITY (T184) H W Lai CP OK away and settled forward of midfield, 1 off the fence. Unsettled early and had a tendency to get to get his head up when racing on heels early/mid race. Ran on steadily to the line, before peaking at 75m.
7 6 GOOD CHOICE (P423) V Cheminaud XB Dropped back from the wide draw to be in the last pair, on the fence. Had difficulty getting a run early in the straight, but ran on steadily when clear from the 200m, without ever threatening.
8 5 THE SHOW (T256) N Callan B Began well, and pushed forward from the wide draw to be handily placed, but stuck 3 wide with no cover. Well placed on the turn, but never responded to urging and went flat to the line.
9 3 WINNAM (P119) G Mosse B/TT Dropped back from the kick to sit at the rear of the field, 1 off the fence. Last on the turn and ran on well initially, before dropping out from the 150 and easing late.
10 13 CHEERFUL BOY (V019) Y T Cheng CP-/B1/TT Broke well from the inside draw, and pushed forward early to take the lead. Still in front at the 350m, before fading out and not pushed to the line.
11 7 GRAND HARBOUR (P421) K C Leung BO/H/TT Began well and taken forward to be handily placed behind the leaders, 1 off the fence. Only plugged away in the straight, and fading before coming off heels 100m and easing out.
12 9 VICTORY MASTER (M148) C K Tong B Dropped back from the jump sit at the back of the field, 1 off the fence and 9L off the leaders. Never responded and went to the line meekly, only passing two being eased out.
13 11 TRAVEL AMBASSADOR (T113) C Schofield -- Slow to begin before pushing forward to be placed midfield, on the fence. Moved forward steadily mid race to be well place on the turn. Never responded in the straight, dropping out quickly and easing out late.
14 1 APPROVE (N299) M L Yeung B/TT Began awkwardly, but recovered quickly to take a share of the lead, 2-3 wide. Under pressure before the turn, dropping out quickly in the straight to be tailed off by 35L. Unacceptable performance.
