1 8 HAPPY FORCE (B227) M L Yeung B Began very fast from wide barrier before coming across to the fence after 250m. Controlled speed in middle sections. Turned one length clear and ran strongly to the line.
2 2 RIGHT CHOICE (C013) S De Sousa -- Wasn't fast away before settling midfield one horse away from rail. Was ridden along mid-race to hold position. Conceded 6 lengths on cornering. Continued to make ground under hard riding, straight closing well last 300m.
3 4 BEAUTY ENERGY (B149) D Whyte CP/TT Slow away before improving to midfield six lengths from lead at 1000m on rail. Raced ungenerously approaching 800m. Moved away from rail at 500m before improving between runners and then making good ground in last section.
4 7 ENJOY LIFE (A125) C Schofield B Eased back and across behind runners after the start. Travelled in last position on the fence and would have been at least 10 lengths from lead on cornering. Continued to make up ground between runners in final section.
5 11 CHARITY GRAND (B358) K Teetan B/TT1 Began well and showed some speed before easing into fifth on the fence 3.5 lengths from lead. Moved around heals shortly after straightening but only ground home in final 300m.
6 13 VICTORIOUS LEADER (B288) U Rispoli B/H Was allowed to find feet early and then drifted back to third from last. Was in last position on cornering between runners. Moved out to be the widest runner and made some headway into the large head-start conceded.
7 12 SWOT WINDICATOR (A358) C Y Ho -- Wasn't bustled from the barriers and subsequently settled with only three behind at the 1000m. Made some ground in last section but was never a threat to winner.
8 10 CASHIN MINISTER (B158) J Moreira V/TT Was ridden early to gain forward position before easing at 1100m and positioning nicely in forth on the outside. Moved three wide on cornering and looked threatening before weakening out in final 200m.
9 1 GOOD FOR YOU (T265) A Badel B Threw its head at the start and lost ground. Made up some ground in first 400m to be third from last before moving three wide at 600m and then continuing to improve out wider 6 lengths from lead on cornering. Tired last 250m.
10 6 WINWIN RUBY (A120) M F Poon -- Began well but didn't have the speed of others before easing to be worse than midfield off the fence 7.5 lengths from lead at 1000m. Moved out wider in the straight but couldn't chip into substantial margin.
11 9 JUNZI (V274) A Sanna -- Allowed to stride forward from wide barrier before coming across to position midfield before clipping heals at the 1100m and losing some momentum. Moved four horses wide on cornering but weakened out from 275m.
12 14 DOMINATOR (B247) K C Leung B1 Began well and had natural early speed and settled leaders back after being crossed after 250m. Had room to improve after straightening but could not capitalize when leader sprinted and weakened out from 350m.
13 3 MICKEY RICH (B151) C Wong -- Crowded on jumping and lost ground before gathering speed to position slightly worse than midfield on the fence. Stayed close to the fence on cornering and didn't have the clearest run in the straight but was never a threat.
14 5 HAPPY GUY (A365) H T Mo H Ridden up in first 200m before positioning in second on the outside 2 lengths from leader at 1000m. Crept closer and was within one length from lead on cornering but weakened out from straightening to finish long last.
